Weight Lifting (Leg Routine)

[Geoffrey S]

Do start slowly with deadlift, take it easy on the weights at first - as said, done badly it has consequences for the back. Do it slowly and smoothly, don't come up with a jolt at the end and make sure you only move on the legs. If necessary, focus on your abs while moving up and down with lighter weights to get the movement right.

What's that one called where you take a large step forward with dbs in both hands, then lower on the legs until the front on is at 90˚ and then up again?

Oh, may sound silly, but if you have got the correct technique for the rower (and a lot of people don't!) it's worthwhile to use that. Done properly it really uses the (upper) legs most of all, great not just for pure strength but also for endurance. Again, make sure the technique is right - a lot of people damage their back by doing it badly.
