Thanks. I am finding Yoga to be a lot more difficult than it looks. Everyone always looks so peaceful and relaxed and then there is me sweating like a just ran a marathon and struggling to hold poses because my quads are on fire from yesterdays squat session.

I like your plan. I need to stick with it until my back strength catches up, not just avoid them like I have before. I have been scared of rows since a few years ago I was doing a set with around 185, lost my arch for just a second and messed my back up pretty good. I was in pain for a few days after that one. Since then I have learned what to avoid to keep myself out of trouble, and I know the best thing for me is to build up my back strength again. I just have to be conservative and increase gradually.

As for the rows, well I can't say too much as I've never been injured but I like alcos idea! |
My bench numbers are OK, but old shoulder problems are always in the back of my mind. There may not be much straight bar benching in my future, but I would be happy to get to the point where I can handle the 120lb dumbbells.
