TIP OF THE DAY: I get a lot of questions regarding how to work through injuries, especially on leg days. There are a lot of movements that are bothersome to the knees and back, so its best to not push it, but rather to work around it. For instance, I have a severe arch in my back, so traditional barbell squats often irritate it, causing me to lose proper form. Instead, I use moderate weight, only pushing myself on days where my back isn’t acting up. I suggest picking other movements that entail the same muscle groups. In my case, because a squat is a compound movement that targets the quads, hamstrings, and glutes, I substitute with movements like the leg press or walking lunges. You’re not losing benefits, rather furthering your results through preforming workouts that work best for you.
