Well yeah, but zatic is describing leg imbalances and having issues with stability, and my point is that getting those sorted out through pistol squats risks injury more so than with easier, less tenuous exercises. Pistol squats are good, don't get me wrong, but I've seen more than a few people fall over and really fuck themselves up on lunges/pistols when they probably shoulda been grinding out something less risky first.

xD saw some fitness youtuber do some pistol squats with bar overhead +10kg each side the other day and thought they're easy. Tried them with bw only at the gym and fell on my ass like an idiot haha.

I've been having some pain I can only describe as tightness in my back (thoracolumbar fascia) mildly after squats but moreso after deadlifts. By the time I get home I feel fine again, but sometimes I notice pain at work after stacking a bunch of chairs, though it's very mild. Is this just pain because my back is weak and it's normal muscle pain? Could it be pain due to sitting a lot through the day and poor posture while driving or at work? And of course the last option is that it could be due to poor form but I'm pretty confident in my squat form, though I'll try to take a video when I can of that and my deadlift.

If you are sure that it is thoracic, that being the "middle" of your back, posture and ab strength are likely the two big culprits. Hard to say without more info though.

From what you are saying it seems its just tight muscles (thoracolumbar fascia)? If it hurts on the sides of the spine its a muscle thing most likely, I'd be wary if only one side hurts as it can indicate some sort of imbalance. If it hurts in the middle (i,e, the spine itself) I'd be very careful.

Yeah it's the muscles on either side. It's not dehabilitating by any means and it's only particularly noticeable after deadlifts.

Of course they're hard if you don't do them. That's no reason to avoid them T_T

Yeah, you can do it while holding onto a door frame or some other stable object if balance is an issue.

Yeah, you can do it while holding onto a door frame or some other stable object if balance is an issue.

But then we're talking a choice between pistol's with a large assist versus step up's without one, and in terms of shoring up stability, I'd rather my clients start with the easier exercise in which they require no assistance than the one that requires that they effectively cheat in order to make it work, particularly since stability and leg imbalance are already issues.

Step ups, split squats, Isolateral leg presses, and single-leg machine hamstring curls. Combination of all of the worked out most of my hip issues. Not sure how well they transfer to the knee, and I'm sure it depends on what's weak and what was actually wrong in the first place. Go see a PT if you can, not really something to diagnose online.

@najda, I've got the same problem because my routine suddenly has a TON more upper body pulling volume than I'm used to. Weak rhomboids, weak postural mid-back muscles. It's getting better with time. Try to hit it with a lax ball/foam roller. If you think it's because you don't hit those muscles enough, give face pulls with a scapular retraction before the pull a try, or chest-supported DB rows (lying chest-down on an incline bench with a DB in both hands, so you can't swing your back.) If you think it's a too much volume thing, just take the usual rest precautions and then get back at it as soon as you feel up to it.

The very bottom of my right trap always hurts me whenever i start doing heavy front squats/cleans and the like. I try getting in there with a lax ball but it's difficult, massages are expensive, it's a difficult area to stretch. I have my roommate chiro adjust it every now and again which helps a bit. I'm sure it's related to my overhead work and tight right rotator cuff.

Larger lifting shoes? I've heard you wanna get a smaller size for max tightness/stability.

I bought adidas Power Perfect II's in my size and they are way too small

Anyone want a pair size EU 42 - US 8.5?


Can't send them back?

I was too lazy and didn't send them back in time

You could ask Nerlinger whether you can send them to him if they are still as good as new, and pay like 30-40 euros extra for a new pair.

Not too surprising I guess. We still have each other. Everyone hold tight.

How do you fall over and fuck yourself up with pistol squats? Unloaded and you hurt yourself?

As to the OP on this issue, you probably are just having mobility issues, not stability issues. Can't really tell without a video.
The unrealistic sound of these propositions is indicative, not of their utopian character, but of the strength of the forces which prevent their realization.
