Soreness: legs felt like jelly
BW: 10st 03lbs
Condition: It was a good session but also tough at the beginning. I had a lot of time so that was good to.
Warm up
Ankle mobility
Calf stretch
Seated hamstring stretch
lying on bench hamstring stretch
Quad stretch on bench and lunge - hamstring cramped up but not as bad as last time
High knee hip holds with resisted load 40kg x 10 sec each leg
Back stretch front and back
single leg hip thrust
Workout
Jump Squats - rusty causes slight back pain and not really bouncy, a lot of pauses at the bottom part
- 3 x 5
Bulgarian Split Squats
- 1 x 4 each leg @bw
- 1 x 5 each leg @15kg dumbbells in each hand
- 3 x 7 each leg @30kg
Note: The struggle is real, this was really difficult. It was soo difficult I am finding hard to believe how I will progress from 30kg, last set I did one leg alright but when I switched to other leg legs felt like jelly and I failed that set and I thought to rack the dumbbell but I said "NO!" so I rested a minute and did the set for that leg again and succeeded. THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.
Single leg calf raises on edge of weight plate
- 1 x 4 each leg @bw
- 3 x 8 each leg @25kg dumbbell in one hand
Bent leg single leg reverse hyperextensions
- 3 x 9 each leg @15kg cable attached to feet
Planks with 10kg on lower back
- 2 x 1-2 min
Overhead squats with a 10kg aluminum bar overhead
- 1 x 7
Seated sprint arm swings
- 2 x 20 @5kg dumbbells in each hand
Shoulder press front and side
- 1 x 10 each side @12.5kg dumbbells in each hand
Bent over rows with a 1 rep deadlift start and end
- 2 x 5 @60kg
Single rep heavy partial squats
- 2 x 1 @100kg
Cool down
stretch
walk back

Great session. BSS is sooo difficult so I do it at the beginning of the session and the rest I am comfortable doing. My plan do 4 weeks of BSS however far I progress and then switch to box squats for hip power. The heavy squats is to try get my back used to heavy loads but at partial squats, the 100kg partial squat was a little painful for my lower back but not sharp mild but at 6/10 pain level. So will stick till I can do it pain free.
