Might as well be heavy,lol.<br /><br />I squatted a decent 525 in my last competition in 2001 after not being able to do anything other than singles for the entire peaking cycle because of my back.<br /><br />My brilliant wife, after listening to me bitch about not being able to train as I used to( wsb volume style)"can't you just lift enough not to get hurt?" <br /><br />A great solution and I did between 3 and 4 total singles( after warmup) for each workout and did great. hopefully this will work here as well.Mark Reifkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13796716749125262941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6960097.post-48477210452752662442006-10-19T08:41:00.000-07:002006-10-19T08:41:00.000-07:00Another thought Rif,

It is so addicting, but if done too much (as you and I both know) it can be deadly. Sounds like your body is prepared from some higher force work. Heaven knows you have built a big enough base to tolerate it (injury history and all). Look forward to more updates!<br /><br />Nice workout by the way!Franz Snidemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07214347683076253495noreply@blogger.com
