scatty? - this from the man with a brain the size of a planet! glad you're back into your squatting , pete. i'd hate to think those chains were going to waste....
Hi John, yea I've got bands (I use Iron woody bands). Bands have a different feel. It's kind of hard to explain. Chains add weight as you lift, but bands...

Hi John, that should be answered by her health care professional I suspect. I'd say if it's recent then possibly not, but if older, then likely to be ok, but...

Hi all, I was feeling pretty good yesterday so got back to the gym. Now, I hurt my back with a 40kg squat a week ago...so obviously I didn't try that. I did a...
i'd bet the glute kickback and chins (and possible dips) extended your lower back, aly. the other stuff shouldn't exacerbate the injury. especially if you're...
