Old guy leg wrecker

Ever since I injured my back in late August last year, I haven't been able to go all out on some leg movements due to compression on the discs. I mean I still have been dealing with sciatica since then. It's usually manageable, but if I use too much weight on ANYTHING that compresses the spine, the sciatica starts killin' me. So I did this today, considerably lighter, but damn I'm feeling it:

leg press - 1P (plate) each side x 40, 2P x 25, 4P x 20, 6P x 20, 8P x 14
hack squat - 2P x 15, 3P x 15, 3P x 12
leg extension - 100 x 30, 130 x 20, 150 x 20, 100 x on-fire (3 second static holds at top)

lying leg curl - 90 x 20, 110 x 15, 120 x 12, 130 x 10, 100 x on-fire (3 second static holds at top
seated leg curl - 70 x 20, 90 x 15, 100 x 12

calf raise on leg press - 4 sets, 4-5P until on fire (20-30 reps)
standing calf machine - 3 sets, 200-330lbs until on fire (12-20 reps)

Eliptical machine - 7 mins had to stop bcoz ham and quads cramping
Done. Stumbling and bumbling outta the gym.

I split legs into two days to compensate for arthritis. One day I do back squats. The other day I do laying and standing leg curls, extensions, and leg press calf raises. Also do step mlll about every time in the gym. Then in warm months I bike ride in the hills.

Jerky,

I suggest an inversion table. Since I got mine months ago, just a couple minutes morning and night and there is an incredible difference. I did the Chiro thing, tens unit etc. The table is the only thing that worked.

On the static holds...every set or last set?

Sounds like a leg wobbler for sure. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve started doing Hatfield Squats and find that, even though it’s actually loaded, I have zero low back pain. I was able to hit 400x12; haven’t had anything close to 400 on my back in over 5 years. Almost like a belt squat in feel.

I've had one since 2001 when I jacked my back up BAD and was outta work for over a year. Yeah I use it often, and it helps, but time is all that's going to heal this.

Single leg movements may help up the intensity while using lighter weights.
