| Fei-Hung said: Anyhu, I've never done leg work outs before, this has been my first time and I love it. My issue is I feel a lot of pressure on my lower back when doing squats. On a good day I'll squat about 80kg. On a bad day like today I just about managed to do 70kg. Any recommendations?! |
Posture is critical and making sure don't over do it on weight. Make sure feet position, way knees and hips bend, and strong flat back with strong big chest and head up.
The most common issue I see is lower back issues when one leans forward and lifts hips up first. This puts lots of pressure on lower back, which for most folks is vulnerable at weight you're doing. My advice is to do go down a bit in weight to make sure form is correct.
On lower back specifically, can do stretches and core exercises. If you have equipment can do back hyperextensions which should strengthen your back.
