GuestHi
What do you guys do when squatting and deadlifting are not an option due to back or shoulder problemsall i can think of is single leg options for back problems and machine exercises for shoulder problems
cheers

GuestTry using a sled as an option – load with a waist strap or use a shoulder harness for stuff like lunges, travelling side lunges, bwd/fwd drags etc..

Guestbelt squats (can use a dip belt and 2 benches if you dont have a machine) for back injury
Along with the other suggestions the getstrength front squat harness works well for shoulder injuries. If your shoulder is really bad and you can’t push the prowler use a harness and drag it - AuthorPosts
