A - Good Morning
95 x 9, 8

B - Reverse Nordic
+7.5 x 12, 9 + BW x 8

Incline Bench
75 x 7, 5
70 x 7

A - DB Fly
12.5 x 13, 11

B - Pushdown
25 x 14, 12, 11+5

Lying Lateral
7.5 x 12, 9, 8 + 5 x 11

Notes

Numbers decent, but felt bleh, especially the bench felt totally off.

Trip was awful (first time I'd been together with my whole nuclear family without my wife for a while -- there's a reason for that. My dad is 9 years sober, but mom and brother are recalcitrant alcoholics and things got unpleasant). Anyway, glad to be home.

My glutes are still sore bc on Sunday I did one set to failure of walking lunges with whatever heavy things I could find.

1 April

RUN 10K @ 58:10 ( 5:49 pace )

First time doing 10K in 2024. Held back pace a little, wanted the distance stimulus.
Ended up 20s/km slower than last week which is a bit too much but also run was done at +90% humidity air with African desert dust, kinda awful.
Also, 8K split was at 5:53 pace , then finished strong with 5:35 and 5:28 negative splits. Sweet.

Saturday 30th March 2024

Posterior chain was on fire last night from the Jefferson curls, but much better today
Achilles feeling good.
First time in 2 years completely pain free cold out of bed.
It's like the chicken and egg thing - stretching the inflamed tendon insertion causes pain so you avoid stretching it.
But then tight calf muscle causes pain due to pulling on the tendon.
That explains why it hurts when getting out of bed or after sitting for a while, when muscle get cold, short and stiff, and then fine after standing for a bit.

Did more calf stretches


Sunday 32st March 2024

Erectors and right QL feel finally feel good.
I think due to the side bends and Jefferson curls.
Good mornings and RDLs didn't help, I think due to the spine not flexing...

Achilles felt good today, even post session, especially after getting out of the car back at home.

Things finally turning around, now to to wait for the Sartorius tendons to heal....

At Home

Semi sissy squat ISO, single leg staggered stance, other leg straight in front: 3x45 secs

Calf raise ISO push against wall, sitting on floor, back against wall: 70% effort
45 Seconds Toes out
45 Seconds Toes in
45 Seconds Toes out
45 Seconds Toes in

Sartorius lying on back, single leg ISO pull, against opposite foot: 70% effort - 3x45 secs

Leg Extension ISO- single leg - Plates moved towards end of loading arm with collars - hold at top, toes turned out - 45secs  x 10kg, 11.25kg, 12.5kg, 13.75kg


BBall, upper Calisthenics at WLC outdoor courts - Reboot, Week 17, day 1
Bodyweight with shoes -  91.6kg

Dribbling and ball control drills - 15 mins
Shoot around and practice moves - 30 mins, light to medium
 - Some easy single leg jump form practice, on both left and right legs

Sit in bottom of full squat: 2 mins

Went harder today, and even a single accidental jump landing on the balls of my feet - no pain from patella or achilles, unlike how I felt 17 weeks ago.
Even Sartorius lower insertions did not twinge.

I also did some gentle single leg jump practice.
Up till now I have always planted my takeoff leg, straight ahead and slightly bent.
This puts a ton of force on the patella tendon...
Today I used the form John Evans shows below - where you plant the leg, toes outwards, with the leg going across the mid line, and straight.
This puts the tension on VMO and hips, much stronger. Like using a Pole Vault
Should allow much faster approach and takeoff speeds

Hanging pike leg raises: feet to hands - x1
