I just finished doing legs in the basement and i thought i would share this.
I havent squatted in over 10 years due to shoulder issues and just shitty balance. I always did hacks and leg presses and my legs did fine but in the back of my mind i always thought i was missing out.
I just got a rack last week for the basement and started doing squats with straps, acting like a poor mans safety squat bar. Today i did 4 working sets of 405 for 15 reps each and it was actually pretty easy. I know 405 isnt mind blowing but im happy with it.
I cant believe i never thought of this before. I could of been squatting all this time. Who knows what my numbers could of been. Now i just need more plates. Making some concrete ones soon.
Anyways, if there anyone that has issues with squatting due to your shoulders then use your straps. Works awesome
