Tore the base of my outer hamstring the other week, nothing major, I always get probs with the right leg out of the two, just a genetic thing I guess.
So when I started back I thought I's do a movement less acute on my hams than hacks or leg press, opted for light squats, and it went ok.
This week, last night I squatted again, not wanting to go balls out but just work through the exercise again and establish stability, mildly working the hams with it but mainly thighs.
Anyway I get up to about 420lb nothing clever and I'm going carefully down, almost too careful so its making it a slower rep, 6th rep and I push too hard through the thighs driving my fat ass backwards before straightening my upper body, now my lower back is fucking tweaked!
Hamstring feels fine now lol!
Just reminds me why I just don't get on with this excercise, used to squat heavier but reminds me why I can't be fucked with all the balancing and posture bullshit, I much prefer being locked into a hack slide or plate loaded leg press and just driving away.
I finish squating and everything hurts except the one dam muscle I'm trying to hit, my thighs:pissed::fight:
