Corrections/Patterning - no more day counts

Amosov Daily Joint Mobility Complex* - 15 reps each

Daily Corrections Exercises
X Band Walk
2 legged Hip Bridge
Glute Bridge Marching
Pumps
Cook Hip Lift
Pumps

2 x 10 reps each

Standing Good Morning Hamstring Stretch x 3

DL patterning - 3 x 5 (double and single leg)

Comment - Cook hip lift coming along - YAY! Improvement is really noticeable now. At last I believe that someday I will be able to trap the tennis ball on my non-working leg.

Although I had really limited movement in forward flexion from the hips I was really beginning to realize how a DeadLift should feel tonight. My hamstrings were really contracting as I kept my back flat against the stick. Less bending of the knees and driving through with the glutes to upright.

I find the single leg stuff easier for this and wasn't as wobbly as the previous night. I hope that I improve the 2 legged version as quickly as other exercises. Then I'll really be motoring.

Excellent resource for pre-hab/re-hab/mobility/stability/activation stuff.
