Leg workout routines
Yesterday was leg day for me. Usually my first leg exercise are barbell squats which I do six sets starting with 10 reps at 135 ending with my heaviest set at 6 reps at 225. I have been doing this for the past two months. However I must have strained something in my lower back during the heaviest sets and now today I have some stiffness and minor lower back pain. I feel that I had a close call with something more serious and I am considering discarding squats entirely for other leg exercises. I don’t want to end up seriously injuring myself so I am looking for effective replacements for barbell squats. What would you guys suggest for me in terms of looking for replacement leg workout routines?
