Again, never done more than fool around with it, so I can't say how easy it is to actually work with. As far as training, the easiest thing to do would be to read the stronglifts ebook, follow that, and pick two days a week to go for moderate runs or other light cardio. I'm assuming by the request that you're pretty new to working out, and that you don't currently participate in any sports or anything similar that would give you more specific goals. | ||

When squatting I try to set up a neutral spine best I can when I unrack with knees bent. Walk out two steps, deep breath and squeezing butt and abs. Maintain internal pressure throughout the lift. No belt but I should definitely try that. I know my left knee has less range of motion and my left hamstring is not as strong as my right still despite trying to even that out. I may need to not go as deep since I think I'm compensating for the left knee tightness which I'm not sure there's much I can do to correct that with the new acl. Right now my plan is being more diligent with planks every day and hip stretches. http://www.mikereinold.com/2012/03/core-stability-from-the-inside-out.html If you are used to using a built you may be creating pressure without actively stabilizing your lower spine within the balloon of your torso, so that it is free to move around. Other possibility is that your squat has butt wink in it that is forcing your SI joint and lower spine through an unstable position and aggravating it whenever you squat. | ||

So basically, rounded back OK with pistol squats? | ||

But you should still try to have your back as straight as possible. | ||

Yeah I am currently doing elevated pistol squats but I want to progress to full ones. I can do 8 with my good but only 2 with my bad leg  Good news though, I finally smashed 95kg bench 5-5-5. Only the very last rep was hard. Thanks again for the advice everyone. | ||

Ps. I know 255 isn't all that great but for me it really is a high point for me. | ||

Hope everyone else's training has been good thus far. I didn't even get to enjoy my birthday though because I had to spend the entire day putting together a literary magazine and doing homework | ||
