My trainer rekons that the lower back is a fast recovery muscle (same as abs and calves) so we hit each work out.
I was finding though that if i was hittin them hard i wouldn't get enough recovery so i just laid off till they had![]()
What do you recomend??
if its working, then keep doing it!
If your finding it to hard to recover, then group your back into one day instead of spread out.
Deadlifts kill my back for 2-3 days, I've tried doing SLDL on leg day and regular deads on back but that's just to much for me.
I don't seem to have any trouble doing squats with SLDL though.
Cool![]()
That's why we do deads on Friday we got all weekend to recover.
Except if i play bass on the weekend, standing for three hours with that sucker ova your back 'nasty'!!
Thanks Scotty![]()
