Button Buck
que?
I have a fucked up lower back from wrestling, cracked vertabrae, sciatica etc... Doing squats kill because of the pressure on my spine and DLs kill for obvious reasons. I said fuck it and do them both anyways.
I was doing DL the other day and my back seems to have returned to where it was when I first fucked it up because my left leg goes completely numb which is gay.
I've always stuck to low rep numbers on deads, the other day did 135x4, 225x4, 315x4,405x2, 450x2. I usually do 2s until I hit 500 and then do singles from there, but DLs are killing my back. What other exercises could I do that would be less detrimental to the back but still keep my numbers in the lift up for when I go back to it?
My gym doesn't have a reverse hyper but a lot of guys have been telling me they work well. I guess the back extension machine would help but was wondering what else you think would help.
