I'm curious if there is a weight limit on what we should be doing with a BHR? I take it easier than I use to with squats and leg presses than I did in the past. I've been keeping around 400-600lbs. for leg presses which is really light compared to what I used to do and under 300lbs. for squats. Not sure if I'm going too heavy and I should keep it under a specific weight?
Pete the bhr when been designed had a 500kg pendulum hung on it and it didn't do anything to it. They trialled it using differing lubricants and even nothing at all so I doubt that you can actually harm the device. But some resistance work will be good for the bone!
I spoke with my surgeon today and he said it's fine and much stronger than a regular hip. No worries about going too heavy.
Thought so Pete. I'm incrementally going up. I was also on the 4-500 pounds X24 reps. Now I do only about 250 for 90 reps. I'm thinking of going to less reps and more weight, back to where I belong.
I hear you there. When i go really heavy though my hip bothers me for the next week or so. I'm not sure if going heavy is a good thing because of this. Although, I don't want to get skinny little legs... haha
