My thoughts on the 5x5 after 4 weeks

[SDHW]

great workout today, I used a belt, no back pain whatsoever, the knees felt great to.

im thinking about going back to the reg squats on my Wed, light day, and doing the box on both Monday and Friday. for anyone who didnt read this post, I started doing box squats b/c I hurt my low back, and had some knee issues. They are feeling better so I would like to incorporate the reg squat again.

any thoughts?

What type of shoes are you using? I've found a huge improvement switching shoes. I used nike shocks but they were worn form cardio on the sides and resulted in stability issues. I ended up using my knees to balance slightly and really put alot of stress and pain doing so. I switched to barefoot and my weight went up and knees didn't hurt at all. Oly shoes are well worth the price.... Any more thoughts on shoes or anything else?

Its funny you say that, cuz I was just looking at web sites for a new set of shoes. The shocks are good for running, but not working out, when you’re under load, it acts like a cushion, which is not what you want. its hard to find shoes that wont do this besides the oly shoes.
