Leg Suggestions
Hey everyone, i need some exercise advice. So I have a split that works well for me. One of these days is dedicated to legs. Currently I'm doing Single leg extensions, leg press, hamstring curls, and calf raises. After a few months, I am not really big on doing leg presses. I feel like it's not a very beneficial exercise. I feel like it's a movement that nearly everyone can load a lot of weight on for show, and just doesn't really do much for me. Now ik what you're thinking. "Do squats". And that's the problem. I use to. I loveddd doing them. Unfortunately my body was not meant for it (sciatic nerve). The amount of times I've killed my back (and i mean 10/10 pain just trying to roll over in bed because of my sciatic flare up) has been too many times. I've wore belts, done them on the smith and had trainers watch my form. It's just not possible without sever injury. I've tried platform belt squats and despite it not feeling very comfortable and a slight ache in my back. I like hacksquats but my one gym location doesnt have them. What is a good exercise I can do that i can easily overload it, and wont kill my back?
