Hey guys,
I used to compete in bodybuilding, and I did all the basics squats, deads, etc. Now that I'm 36 (yes, not that old), my lower back goes into spasms whenever I deadlift or squat - even with 135 lbs. Anything that loads the spine hurts it.
I'm content with not being a bodybuilder anymore, but I still want to be strong and athletic. What are some good one-legged or bilateral exercises that minimize loading the spine?
Right now I'm doing barbell lunges, one-legged squats, and one-legged leg press.
Anyone got any cool exercises that I'm missing?
Thanks guys!
