JUNE 2002
TIP FOR THE MONTH
Does your lower back hurt and knees get sore from
squatting? Twenty years ago mine did. Ever since then I've been doing all my
 squats
and standing calf raises with the Leg Blaster. Since my hands are free during
the movement, I hold on to the balance bar and keep my upper body perfectly
erect, perpendicular to the floor. This takes stress off low back and allows me
to keep my knees in line with my toes, thereby decompressing the knees. Even
though I was capable of squatting 10 reps with over 400 pounds, nowadays I
seldom use more than 185 pound in the Leg Blaster squat since my thighs (not my
butt and lower back) do all the work.
 It's
a great calf machine too since the hands are free and I begin my calf workout
with one set of 20 reps standing calf raise, holding each rep at the top of the
movement for a count of five. What a burn I get! I've got my calf routine down
to a total of 4 sets and they are growing.
