@Steedee @tomlet1 the stuff regarding leg equipment is totally true. Those pivot squat and true squat machines, I've been looking into dropping the cash on a proper belt squat machine. These seem to have gone from just being rehab tools to being the preferred choice along with the Rogers pro squat machine in many top US strength and conditioning university facilities. I've seen a few interviews with their coaches who say now there priority is to keep the athlete safe for the season whilst progressing.
I do feel now that unless you powerlifter there is no reason to battle a lift that doesn't agree with you just because you feel you should.
Look great mate.Hey pal, I'm 48 and still train and compete. I train hard and heavy sometimes then other times keep light and high reps. Your body will let you know how it's feeling and adjust your workout to suit. I only ever CV now if I'm in competition mode.
