Thoracic exercise is starting to get a little easier, I've actually got a range of motion.

Trigger point therapy – missed

FMS

Trunk Rotation – hips and knees bent at 90 degrees 10 x 2

Single Leg Glute Bridges – 10 x 2 e/l

F Squat test (heels raised) - 56Kgs x 5 could have squeezed a few more out but was playing it safe in the space around me. Full ROM though. Don't like the idea of using all 3 KBs as a progression. Not sure I could clean the 16+24 taped together and the 32 on the other side. May have to use a sandbag instead.

Deep Squat Progression – 10 x 2

All these exercises felt easier today - DSP especially, must have been from using the weight beforehand. I am still using 2" block below heels and blocks to 9" to press into on descent (down from 12").

KB Snatches

16 kgs for 30 mins. 130-147 bpm(70-80%) Av 140 (75%) Max 156 (84%)
27:04 in zone 379 kcals

Didn't set the KB down for the 1st 10 mins and kept it in range more or less full 10 mins....mind you I didn't do many snatches either. It was mostly spent in lock out position. After that I couldn't be bothered with that game and just topped up the HR with singles and doubles.

Core Activation
Plank 75 secs

Side plank - skipped


Active or static stretches

Hamstring Stretch, Hip Stretch, Lat/Shoulder Stretch


Foam roller + Tennis Ball, longer session (about 10 minutes)

No knee or shoulder complaints for a while now. Plenty of crunching, clunking and clicking but no pain. Back still feels a bit tight on the side I injured it, not sure how it is going to react to the plan below. It might be a little ambitious with DL. Sure I won't know til I try.

Can't wait to see the new plan under way. You have been very patient with this progression, and I think good productive training will be the result.

Thanks Martin. It has definitely been a good training investment. Opened my eyes to areas of my body that are tight, injured, not activating or just plain weak. Beginning a progress of fixing them can only ever be good.
