MJNEWLAND: I keep attempting a few sets of squats every few days but each time I just end up frustrated because the weight is insufficient to bear up against & I get an annoying ache in my repaired shoulder/bicep which causes twinges of discomfort on Pec day.
I’m trying to source a suitable bar (Safety Bar or similar)to get back into doing squatting with decent weight (more than my own damn BM). Unfortunately theres not much “speciality” equipment available in NZ (even in a “bigger” city like Auckland where I’m based)
I’ll probably have to make up a bar myself. (dimensions & spec’s anybody???)
Program will be changing in a week or two so I’ll add in some Front Squats after Leg Ext’ns, Hvy 45deg Leg Press & DB Lunges.
I doubt 5/3/1 will inspire much in me at the moment as I’m also not doing Deadlifts (I’ll add in some low weight Rack Pulls & low weight B/O BB Rows this next program change)
