Hi Cathe,
I posted this on the Cathe TV forum, too, as I'm hoping for a visual, but in case you can't get to that (I know I'm not your personal priority
), I thought I'd post here, too...
Hi Cathe,
I did the first Back and Biceps workout from Meso2 yesterday, and I have a couple of questions about the deadlifts used in the back section...
1. My hamstrings get very sore from these STS leg workouts. Even with several rest days inbetween workouts, it was tough for me to do the deadlifts in Back and Biceps. Is there a substitute exercise if my hamstrings are just too sore? Or...
2....Should I be doing more of a "quarter dead lift" (as seen in another of your older workouts) to really feel it more in the back? I've always been sort of confused about the placement of deadlifts in a back workout. I understand that they certainly work the back, but it seems deadlifts work back more in an assisting way. If quarter deadlifts are an option, can you give some form pointers for how to avoid straining the lower back with them, what muscles to imagine while you're doing the move, etc.
Thanks so much, Cathe!
