The past few days have seen A LOT of joint pain, neck pain and hip pain. For some reason, however, I had the urge to squat. I knew, though, that there was no way I could do standard squats so I opted for box squats. Or, in my case, bench squats. They felt pretty good. And I have to say that I'm pleased with getting the 175lb. It's the most weight that I've had on my back in around a year so there won't be any complaints from me today. The hamstring curls were a bit of an experiment. I looked up suggestions on how to do them and all the videos I found, like this one show them done on the floor with the band around a rack. The rug down in the dungeon is in no condition to be laid on, so I wrapped the band around the bench and did them laying on the bench. This means I had to double up the band to make it short enough to have resistance. The purple band, as it stands is 40-80lb resistance. I have no idea what tat means if it's doubled (not sure if it actually doubles the weight, I'm thinking not). The banded squats are also called Spanish Squats. You can see them here .
I'm feeling pretty good right now, a little bit of pain in my left knee, but not too bad (less than when I jog) and my left hip / SI joint is a little pinchy. All in all, nothing that will sideline me for the rest of the day.
Right now, I'm going to get food then do some crafts for my Etsy shop. Happy Thursday!
