The plan today was Sumo Block pulls and lower accessory.
Things didn’t go to plan.

My hip has been jacked since the meet last week, and sitting at the desk for 10 hours a day getting stuff done on the site is killing it.
No complaints though, I could be unemployed…..
So, in an effort to do what I could, here is what went down.

RPR Warmup- 10 minutes

1. 5″ Conventional Block Pulls:
A whopping 135×5 x 10 sets. All I could do.

2. Superset:
45 Back Raise x 20 +
CSR x 20
x 5

3. 20 minutes Acumobility work on the hip/quad, stretching.

4. Go buy a Christmas Tree for the gym in the Caddy.

Decided to Belt Squat today, as I have no formal plan right now, just seeing what the hip is capable of on a day to day basis.

Started off with a 15″ box and 4″ of mats.
I planned on lowering the height as I got warm, but it didn’t happen.
This height kept me out of the pain range and allowed me to get some work done.
I did a shitload of sets of 5 (maybe 12) with up to 2 plates, not heavy, but hey, at least I am squatting.

After that, I git the Back Attack with Teddy.
I did one for ones.
I like to do one set with a sumo stance and one conventional at the same weight.
I did 5 sets at each stance working up to 2 plates.
After that I hit a circuit.

Stir the Pot +
Couch Stretch+Hip Internal Rotation and called it a day.

I need to work these two stretches on MORE.

That is all.

Try to touch the bar was the goal on bench today.

Not happening.
The torn bicep said no so I used the foam pad and benched a shitload of sets of 5 working up to 175.
Then, 25’s x 100 on the incline db bench.
Then, 200 reps on tricep pushdowns, 100 reps on lateral raise and some mobility.

That is all.

Change of plans AGAIN.

Wanted to Squat with a straight bar, the bicep said no.

Switched to the Duffallo bar.
Worked up to 315 off a box with foam for singles.
Pretty happy with that.

After that, Belt Squat good mornings, worked up 5 plates for 12 reps
Then, 40- 45 degree back raises
After that, 100 reps on the hammer seated row

Done.
