Consistency in strength training is not my strength. This is where S&S comes to play: a simple routine I have to repeat until reaching simple, and maybe more.
Since mid 2016 Ive been having an annoying tendinopathy in my right patellar tendon. I had the same problem for 10 years on my other leg and got cured, so I know I can get better if I do the right things.
So Ive been doing S&S with the 16 Kg since the beginning of 2017. I was enjoying the practice with not much pain on the tendon, until I went play football and screwed things up. Long story short, I ended up with shockwave therapy and a month of physical therapy.
Luckily I was cleared for swings and get ups, so today was my first session and felt great. I think opening this log will help me be consistent and get some good feedback from this great community.
My goal is to reach simple. Hopefully, start working with the 32 before the end of the year.
I was prescribed by the physical therapist to do slow motion weighted back squats and quadriceps extensions for tendon recovery, and I also have a 2 month old baby girl, so my sessions are a bit messy. Today session looked like this:
- 3 x 8 back squat, 14 kg, very slow motion, 8 seconds down 8 seconds up.
- 6 x 10 one hand swings, 16 kg. Rest time was very long as I was with the baby. Almost GTG.
- 6 TGU, 16 Kg, didnt need rest between reps.
- 3 x 10 quad extensions, 6 bricks. Very slow motion, 8 seconds up 8 seconds down.
My goal is to slowly go back to a normal S&S session, and 3 times a week add at the end the weighted back squats and quad extensions as prescribed by the therapist.
I´m also practicing Buteyko breathing, so I'll register my Buteyko numbers in brief so I can see how they go together with my training.
- Morning CP (or BOLT): 37 seconds. HR 50.
- First session beginning CP: 42.
