Pinched sciatic nerve leg exercises substitutes
ad
I know I’m getting old now because my sciatic nerve keeps flaring up, I’m looking for some suggestions on leg exercises that I can use as a substitute. Romanian deadlifts, barbell squats, deadlifts, and lunges are out of the question for now. Basically all I can do are seated leg curls, leg extensions, and light leg presses. If anybody has anything that worked and they could progress on with this being an ongoing issue that would be awesome, my legs are definitely starting to lag behind other parts and it’s killing me inside.

If you can do the curls and extensions, go hard on. Put all the volume that would have gone into the compound lifts into those. And push the intensity. You dont have squats and deads to recover from.
Look up sciaticawithdan on Instagram. When mine starts flaring some of the tips he teaches really help out.
Cool, I’ll take a look at that thanks
