I’m on week 6, and am having trouble with getting under the bar on back to back workouts for squats due to a right shoulder that doesn’t like to externally rotate after having a labrum/cuff repair done 12 months ago; My shoulder will usually be sore/stiff for 3 days or so after getting under the bar. I work out at home, so don’t have a leg press. Can I switch out the day 3 split squat for the day two pin and or tempo squats, then do the pin/tempo squats on day 3? Should I keep the reps at 7 on day two, and 10 on day 3, or should the reps follow the exercise?
Can you do a split squat with dumbbells, in the high bar position, or the front squat position? I would keep the reps the same.
I can definitely do a split squat with dumbbells, that’s not an issue, as that’s my exercise on day 3. I can try the front squat on Monday when it’s my next day 2.
On an alternate note, I really appreciate you taking the time to answering all the questions, and all the content you put out. I work in a CCRC (continuing care retirmenet community) and try to preach the gospel of strength training for our population, and your website in particular. I often send emails to our senior management team with links to your articles, and share the research review when pertinent. Thanks for having a resource rich resource, that’s evidence based.
