"barbell squats-Start with like 50lbs and only do one set of like 5 reps. Then dont do it again for an entire week. Eventually work your way up to doing 3 to 5 sets"
....Do you not train legs in a serious manner? You've had a 6 pack & were about 10% body fat at one point. I do 2 sets of 100 of those with a 4 minute break with the same weight for warm ups on-top of being about 80lb's heavier then you with a beer gut. Also never felt sore in my knees or back afterwards, it's just to light too.
Yeah I do squats with 225lbs now usually 8 reps and 5 sets. Then I move to to deadlifts, legpress, leg curls, and calf raises. I only do it once a week but I stay sore for a few days after it. It seems to be working my ass and legs are definitely growing lately.
I started with 100lbs after my back surgery and it made me so sore the first time. Then I tried to do squats 3 days a week and my knees were shot. If you have a serious back injury squats can be VERY dangerous.
What is the best exercise for the back?
