Yes, go to the training/injury board and talk to the Oracles over there.

On function scale of 1-10 extensions are a 2 at best. I promise when my gym opens one thing I won't have is a leg extention.

I wouldnt go to a gym that didnt have leg extension. I would imagine theres lots of bb'ers that feel the same way.

Leg extensions did plenty for me, but I've known guys that hate em.   Like barbell curls for me....only thing it stimulates is wrist pain, but others I know swear by them.

good for you, coach, i have not done leg extensions in many years....

squats load up the back too much.  go see an orthopedist to make sure you are not fucked up bad.  wait for the pain to stop, then try single leg squats (also known as pistols) they hit the legs without destroying the lower back like regular squats.

Leg extensions got MOS to be 300 pounds. Without them he would be a twink.

It's not going to be for bodybuilding or not even necessarily for fitness. Basically for athletes.

There is some definite truth here.

Shooting pain is never good. Stop doing squats and see your doctor.

Stop melting. This gotta be the 10th post in a row you make about me

You've got a pinched nerve. Depending on where the shooting pain is on your right side we can localize it to a specific region of your vertebral column and spinal cord. It doesn't sound like anything too serious since you only have the pain when squatting. If you had a serious bulging or ruptured disk you'd be having pain all the time. Your doc will likely order a CT or MR and probably put you in some physical therapy with good outcome. Hope this helps.

can i make a suggestion and put the bar low on ur back.

Possibly do abs aswell after.

I sorte dmy back by correcting posture....knowing most of getbig we spent 2hrs a day hunched over a computer...this contributed to mine

Sounds like your spotting partner needs to get behind you w/ his pants on instead of around his ankles.

a cracked vertebra bro

[onlyme]

ruptured L4 or L5.  I have the same thing

[RZA]

First, go see a doctor. Run tests. I used to get lower back pains after squatting also. Stretching helped me. I wasn't flexible at all and by stretching only 10 to 15 minutes/ day my back pains almost totally disappeared and at the same time my squats went deeper. Front squats are a pretty good alternative if done with good form.
