1-2 months ago I think, I increased the weight of my exercises and I had pain in my left knee and slightly in the lower back after the squat. After the squat, I did the deadlift which increased my pain in the lower back.
Because of that, I liked less and less the legs day and in the evening before going to bed I was a bit anxious because of the pain. One day I remembered that I used to like legs day legs before having changed the weight.
That day, I took my time to study more squat and change the order of exercises. I give you a link to a Mike Rashid ‘s video who help me.
Now for the squat the position of my feet are wider, so that I do sumo squat. I feel more stable and I have no pain in my knees. What a pleasure to squat !
After the squat, I go to the decline leg press like that my back rests. It’s super effective, I have no pain in the lower back and then I do the deadlift. Make the deadlift without pain in the lower back, it’s so cool !
Now, I like again the legs day and add rep or add weights not scare me anymore. I can evolve my legs like the rest of my body.
