Trigger point therapy – still not arrived.

FMS

Active Leg Raise – supported leg raises, curl-ups 10 x 2

Rigged up a band to pull on and activate the abs while doing this today. It makes it harder overall as an exercise but I definitiely had greater range of motion either side on these. In fact I tested after I finished and passed. Still going to stick at it for a while longer though make sure the pattern sticks.

I did the toe touches this morning and was just able to touch my toes, same thing with the curl-ups. Feeling a lot tighter today after all the snatches yesterday.

Did a couple of rotation stretches here and felt some serious cramping in my right lat.

Core Activation
Plank 45 secs

Side plank 30 secs e/s - again cramped lat on right side. Rolled the heck out of it on the roller after.

glute bridges double leg 20 x1 - put towel between legs and squeezed the heck out of it. Def more activation in the glutes. I'm saving the single leg one from dvd to do as a main exercise later. I've tried it before and my thigh just peeled away from my body when I bridge.


Active or static stretches

Hamstring Stretch, Hip Stretch, Shoulder Dislocates.


Foam roller, longer session (about 10 minutes)

Woke up feeling some DOMS and pretty tired. I did some toe touches in the morning and felt a little bit tighter. When it came time to train I decided to take it a little easier and dropped the bodyweight stuff for today - a lot of it overlaps with correctional exercises I do or will be doing later anyway. Coming along OK.
