Notes:
* Hamstring was feeling pretty solid waking up this morning. Pain is reduced, mobility is improved. Given it’s been a week since the tear, that checks. Still playing it smart-ish and went with double wrapping it and keeping the weight at 315. I could actually feel the moments when I was letting my technique deviate due to fatigue and could focus on course correcting it this time. Benefits of a few decades under the bar: some decent body awareness. In turn, 21 reps, though short of where I wanted to be, was the right stopping point, as I could tell I was in the “danger zone” there, and that’s a 5 rep improvement from last time. AND, based on the stagger at the end there, I still hit the intended goal of pushing as hard as I could.
* Once again, it’s outstanding seeing all my other lifts progressing on this program. Testament to eating big and shaving down the volume. DB and BtN press are moving along well, and those chins are moving well. I JUST realized I forgot to do shrugs, so I’ll have to knock those out later.
* That conditioning workout at the end was very solid. Like a mini-Grace. I wanted to get in a little more hinging, but traditional swings still have me running into my own hamstring, so this was the choice and it went well.
PM WORKOUT
22 ABCs in 5 minutes w/24kg bells
Hamstring is getting better at playing nice. Thinking tomorrow morning is just going to be alternating ABCs and TABEARTAs, because I'm not caring to be creative at this point.
Man I thought your run of Deep Water was inspiring. Powering through Super Squats with a torn hamstring is just nuts.
ReplyDeleteAlso, just wanted to point out this Juggernaut Training Systems shirt coincidentally embodies many of your interests. Cain Marko, Vikings, and Jon Andersen. https://cdn.jtsstrength.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/23074831/JTS_MN_SST_LONGSHIP_MOCK-scaled.jpg
Oh my goodness that's amazing! Haha. Thanks for the link. And the madness begets madness. It's self-perpetuation!
