I had a pretty fun week of training last week. It’s still super hard to be patient and keep the weights really light, but at least I’m back to doing what I love. Kinda. Working on staying positive and enjoying the process.

Saturday
I hadn’t been to the gym on a Saturday for a long time, so I decided to do a conditioning/work capacity circuit and just have some fun outside.
- 5 Rounds
- Bamboo Bar carries fwd/bkw 40lb KB’s
- Farmers Carries 50Yard each side 50lbs
- Tire Flips x12
- Ball Slams x20
- Blood restriction Lunges x50
- Blood Restriction Split Squats 3×20 40lbs
- Been doing some reading about blood flow restriction training, so I figured I’d give it a try. Definitely got a good pump from it.
- 1 leg squats 5x8e
- I wanted to keep my quad pump going. My left leg is definitely a lot stronger now than my left is, so I’ll be working to even them out during these next couple of weeks. I can do actual unassisted pistol squats on my left leg now, with ease (I’ve never actually been able to do this before) I guess spending 6 weeks on crutches really strengthened my leg. But I still need a band to assist the squats on my left leg. This is mainly due to the limited dorsi flexion in my right ankle. I’ll get there.
- 5 min squat stretch
- Ankle mobility
Days until my next Doc Apt: 29
Body Weight: 61.9kgs
