Right QL feeling better, but still injured.
Felt OK today with squats and clean pulls after the ISOs


Reboot - Week 34, Day 2 - Lower weights

Body Weight: 91.2kg with shoes, in winter clothing

snatch grip behind the neck press + dislocate stretch with broom x 1 min

Side plank against wall: Arm straight 2x45secs

A. Front plank hold: 45secs
B. Side plank, legs bent and abducted - opposite hand in air- 45secs
C. Glute bridge hold: 45secs

Bumped all these +10secs. Spamming the side planks have made them feel much easier :)

45 degree Back extension raise ISO : 2x 45 Seconds

45 degree QL side raise ISO: with 3 inch ROM raises -  2x 45secs

Leg Extension ISO - single leg - front of unit elevated 5 inches, plates moved towards end of arm -
Leaning back, slow up, 5 sec hold at top, slow down, 5 sec hold at 60 degrees, 5 sec hold at 90 degrees - x 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, 20kg

60kg x 6  - 1 floor, 3 high hang, 2 power clean

So much more productive not having to worry about catching the bar

Oly shoes, Slow eccentric - 60kg x10,

Thursday 15th August 2024

Soreness well down from this time last week, quads especially, mostly in my posterior chain and calves.
Right QL still hurts.

Walking upon waking, both planataris tendons feel sore, and my left foot Plantar fasciitis hurts again...
The upper ROM foot stretch of the tib raises was hurting my left foot a bit.
Which was probably initially flared up from the full ROM calf raises.
And also compressing and stretching my plantaris tendons.
So back to half ROM calf raises and ISOs only again

Plantaris/Achilles tendons randomly feels good or achey day to day.... there is no rhyme or reason
Left peroneals also randomly flared up...

Did a whole bunch of ISOs on Thursday, lower and upper body.

Skipped BBall again on Sunday, will do so until I feel my tendons are ready


Tuesday 27th August 2024

Usually do my upper body session on Monday, but I missed it, and crammed in chins and deficit pushups today

Long session, so left a few things out. Will do the rest in a few days time.



Reboot - Week 36, Day 1 - Full Body

Body Weight: 91.5kg with shoes

snatch grip behind the neck press + dislocate stretch with broom x 1 min

BBall overhead plank against wall: 2x45secs

BBall dribbling and ball control drills - 5 mins

Split squat ISO on balls of foot, rear leg straight: x 45secs
Side plank against wall: Arm straight 2x45secs
Calf raise ISO push against wall, sitting on floor, back against wall: - 70% effort - 2x45secs

A. Front plank hold: 45secs
B. Side plank, legs bent and abducted - opposite hand in air- 45secs
C. Glute bridge hold: 45secs

45 degree Back extension raise ISO : x45 Secs
45 degree QL side raise ISO: x45secs
Sartorius lying on back, single leg ISO pull -  against opposite foot - 2x45secs

Leg Extension ISO - single leg - front of unit elevated 5 inches, plates moved towards end of arm -
Leaning back, slow up, 5 sec hold at top, slow down, 5 sec hold at 60 degrees, 5 sec hold at 90 degrees - x 5kg, 10kg, 15kg, x20kg

Heel touch downs, single leg, off step: - controlled - BW x 10
Split squat: - front foot elevated 5 inches - BWx20  + 30 sec stretch at bottom


Rotating sets

Clean high pull
20kg x 10 - 5 hang, 5 high hang power cleans
40kg x 8 - 1 floor, 3 high hang, 3 knee hang, 1 power clean
50kg x 11 - 2 floor, 3 high hang, 3 knee hang, 3 high hang powercleans
60kg x 4  - 1 floor, 3 high hang
70kg x 4 - 1 floor, 3 high hang  (+5kg)

Third high hang rep with 70kg a few inches lower.

Chin Up: Hangs, pull up grip scap shrugs x10, chin grip scap shrugs x10, Heavy green band assisted x8
BW x3, x5

Belt+10kg - 2x3, 3x2

+1 rep on second set

High Bar squat - Oly shoes (TYR L1) - Staying as upright as possible, no good morning allowed

Flat shoes, Slow eccentric - 20kg x10, 40kg x10, 60kg x8
Oly shoes, Slow eccentric - 80kg x6, 100kg x3
Belt, 4 sec eccentric - 115kg x2, 115kg x2, 125kg x 1, 135kg x1, 140kg x1

belt - 6 mins rest
1) 130kg x9 @RPE 9.5 (+10kg, -2 reps) - Slight good morning on last rep

6 mins rest
2) 115kg x10 @8.5 - continuous, 35 sec set time

Bar felt heavy as hell on my back, but then again I supposed 130-140kg is not exactly light....
Still did 3 more reps with 130kg then the last time I used it 5 weeks ago, and much less "good morning"


rotating sets

Deficit push up: - Using dip handles, feet on bench, elevating feet 5 inches above parallel
Rocking climbing chest harness + loading pin on mid thoracic (1kg) + light band across loading pin to stop swinging -  BW x10, 10kg x5, 20kg x5

30kg x7  @RPE 9 - Deloaded on the floor at the bottom
30kg x7 @9.5

Much greater range of motion somehow compared to previous weeks....I had to raise the dip handles 2 holes to stop the plates hitting the floor.
So that explains the drop in weight/reps

45 degree back extension- unit elevated 8 inches - full 90 degree ROM, toes pointed out
Controlled with hold - BW x10 + 5 partial GHR at top,

2 dumbbells,  pulled against chest - 20kg x8, 30kg x5
36kg x12 @RPE 7
36kg x12 @8

Didn't have room to set up the barbell so used dumbbells instead, which added a bit of extra work for the upper back and biceps
Somehow feels different to using a snatch grip barbell, less taxing on the hamstrings and lower back somehow.
I think due to the way the barbell moves forward and back in relation to your body, as you move up and down, to keep the barbell over the same vertical plane


rotating sets

Leg curl, single leg : - front lifted up 5 inches, Plates shifted to end of arm - Controlled - 5kg x10, 10kg x11 @RPE 8

45 degree QL side raise: controlled - BW x10
5kg plate on chest x 10 @RPE 8  (+2.5kg)

Leg Extension - single leg - front of unit elevated 5 inches, plates moved towards end of arm -
Leaning back, controlled - 5kg x10, 10kg x10,
SLOW - 15kg x11 @RPE 8 (+2.5kg)

Calf Raise, single leg - using Dip Belt - on floor, heel not touching - Controlled - BW x10, 10kg x10,
20kg x15 @RPE 6

Only top part of ROM, so no compression on the achilles and plataris tendons
See if this flares up the plantarius tendons or not, but post session it feels fine so far

Skipped BBall again. Will be another few weeks of the same.

Body feeling better for it.
Sartorius tendons starting to get healthy, which were getting worked hard from the cuts and sudden movements.
Right QL also still achey

Did the usual ISOs throughout the week, one session of a few sets of drops off a 6 inch step, and two 22 min walks.

Spring has arrived, so I gotta get healthy

Tuesday 3rd September 2024

Dropped the clean high pulls.
Not being able to drop the weight, it's taxing out my shoulders/cuffs.



Reboot - Week 37, Day 1 - Lower

Body Weight: 91.7kg in Semi winter clothing and shoes

snatch grip behind the neck press + dislocate stretch with broom x 1 min

Split squat ISO on balls of foot, rear leg straight: x 45secs

A. Front plank hold: 45secs
B. Side plank, legs bent and abducted - opposite hand in air- 45secs
C. Glute bridge hold: 45secs

45 degree QL side raise ISO: 2x45secs
Sartorius lying on back, single leg ISO pull -  against opposite foot - 2x45secs

Leg Extension ISO - single leg - front of unit elevated 5 inches, plates moved towards end of arm -
Leaning back, slow up, 5 sec hold at top, slow down, 5 sec hold at 60 degrees, 5 sec hold at 90 degrees - x 5kg, 10kg, 15kg

High Bar squat - Oly shoes (TYR L1)

Flat shoes, Slow eccentric - 20kg x10, 40kg x10, 60kg x8
Oly shoes, Slow eccentric - 80kg x6
Belt, 4 sec eccentric - 100kg x3, 110kg x2, 120kg x 1, 130kg x1, 140kg x1

belt - 6 mins rest
1) 130kg x10 @RPE 9.5 (+1 rep) - Slight good morning on last rep

6+ mins rest
2) 115kg x11 @9 (+1 rep)

Puts e1RM at 174kg, just about at all time best and soon PR levels soon.
Most I have ever squatted high bar is 385lbs, 175kg.

Narrowed my stance, and it feels much more comfortable, and I can push down better.
Less upright, but I'll take that over the adductor stress and stretch of the wider stance.
Warmup sets felt so much easier
