  I think I'm done with squats and deadlifts in the gym. Only machines from now on.

  • 1 out of 2 people with whom I trained over the years have some kind of back injury, disc hernias etcdrgs
  • I myself only pulled a few muscles here and there, and I have tendinitis in right knee and right elbow (my left side is fine)drgs
  • But I definitely feel something is waiting to happen. Listen to your bodydrgs
  • deadlifts are fun and all but they're not good for your health =) this from a guy who reps 400+. It's wise to abandon them, but just about everything elsezarkonite
  • is good if done right. Use freeweights, you'll never think about a machine again... they're too restricted, you create a lot of unbalances if that's all you do.zarkonite
  • after a long break, i visited the gym and did some good flexing. after that i had some pain in both knees - meniscus for two weeks. that sucks!api
