2 days since last session, and upper body finally feels not too sore for the first time in a while.
Calves still a bit sore, but legs and hips OK.
All injured tendons improving but still not back to 100% yet

Lower back, and mid erectors overactive and achey from all the sitting down... stretched it a bit

Rested the last 2 days
Still sore in my calves, adductors, glutes/hips and upper back

Thought about going to the courts to shoot around/dribble, but we have a covid lockdown situation here so decided against it.

Friday 2nd July 2021

Took the last few days off anything - poor sleep, Covid lockdown and bad scheduling

Right Glute medius tendon has turned the corner and feels no discomfort when walking downstairs - so whatever I did recently is working well.

Achilles tendon insertions feel worse after the session, the combination of heavy Calf work and walking is probably too much now.
See how it feeling tomorrow

Thursday 8th July 2021

Still Covid lockdown here, so mostly staying at home, and for the better as far as my tendons go

left Quad/patella tendons and right glute medius tendon are feeling good
My usual pain tests are down to a 1/10 pain scale if any. Walking down stairs feels good.
Can do full range bodyweight squats and sumo deadlifts, hands down to floor, pain free.
So will return to full range squats soon, very light and slowly progress.
And start conditioning my tendons with low altitude drops and bring back in low intensity fast movements and work back up.

On the bad side my achilles tendon insertions are not progressing, and have gotten slightly worse.
I think my calf raise ISO are just too heavy right now. 100kg last week, 95kg this week.
Will drop back down 70kg and see how that goes.
The manual resistance ISO are fine they have been working well.

COVID lockdown has been extended another 2 weeks here - putting it to good use healing up

Achilles tendon insertions feel better, so the drop in Calf raise ISO load was a positive move.
Added in more things today as my quad/patella and right glute medius tendons have improved enough

Most things felt easier, more stable today - so body is adapting

Bodyweight has dropped down to 87.7kg already this morning, just by the change in diet structure.
feel more energetic as well.

+5kg. Squats all felt fairly easy. SSB really loads up the patella tendons, but no discomfort.
Narrower stance, and tried to stay as relaxed as I could in my legs in hips, as opposed to pushing knees out etc, if that makes sense.
Felt good apart from one rep on high bar where I felt a twinge in my right IT band area, when I tried to go slightly wider and and push knees out.
Could feel it along the whole length of the IT band. I think this is related to a glute medius issue

Achilles tendons insertions feeling better after yesterday, but still worse than it was a few weeks back. Hurts when pressed

Achey glutes from squats

Manual resistance single leg calf raise ISO - Dip belt, with strap to Reebok step, push > 80% effort - 4 x 45 secs

Dribbling and ball control drills - 18min 
- jump shots and hook shots against the wall, alternating arms, with a small hop  - 2x5 each
- 3 step jumps, on grass,  low effort, only jumping under 6 inches - Left/right and right/left plants 4x3 each

Felt twinge in my right IT band area on the push off on one left/right jump... same issue I had yesterday with one squat rep.
So will add some exercises to hopefully fix this - Side plank banded clam shell and single leg RDL
Well those were recommended by Squat University on Youtube

And maybe tight TFL, it definitely hurts like hell when I press a ball into it

Upper body a bit achey
Left achilles insertion OK, right one was a little sore.

Some minor IT band twinge when I move my right leg in some positions.
Releasing the TFL and doing the new exercises made it a non issue today.
