- Russian Dips - 5, 5, 5, 5, 5 - Getting better, keep at it. Did an extra 2 reps at the end, focusing on slow and controlled

- Elevated Planche Leans - 5x18s - first crack at these. Felt ok. Need to video and check my lean.

- RC PE 2 - 15, 12, 12, 12, 12 - Nice one adding first set of 15 here. Tempo broke down last two sets, but not really more than previously. Keep going  and remember 80% consistantly is king (Elite Minds).

- Hollow Body Holds - 5 x 30s / 30s r - decided to throw in lower volume sets of these on the offdays to my core training. Might accelerate the progress. Watch and see

Russian Dips

I really struggle with these, especially at the bottom end of the rep.  I finally got to the point where I can get close enough to drop my elbows onto the bar and then kip back into the dip just this week.

Yeah they are ... bizarre, to say the least. I have been working on them for ages but I am still not comfortable I am dropping low enough. I want to get to the point where my armpits are on the bar (at the moment, it is inner elbows). Just going to keep working at it, as I imagine it is mainly neurological.

 

Looking at the video below, I might try to incorporate the leg movement to assist in the return aspect of the movement

Hollow Body Holds - 5 x 60s - Hurting through this. Filmed it for a review... form wasn't great for the last 2 sets, but on the plus side the mental battle I won with grit

Negative Hanging Leg Lifts - 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 - Moved the back support to be higher (3rd hole from the top of all possible with the squat rack). Filmed it for a check, but it felt ok

1/2 Windscreen wipers - 5 x 2 -  Keep slowly building

 

Good work sticking to, and getting through, this one.

Sun 09 Jun 19 - Rest Day

Nice day with the family

 

Daily Victory?

Well, I will record a loss. I could do more on my Sunday, like the S&S KB Swings or stretching. However, I did do plenty of hobby work today which was great. Still, not as good as I could have overall.

Sparta Science Testing

Ran through a new form of movement testing for work, based on Sparta Software using Force Plates.

I didn't get the exact numbers for each component, but I fell into the 'Low Explode' pattern (my 'Load' was blue, 'Explode' was red, and 'Drive' was blue as well as the highest score). My overall 'Sparta Score' was 78.

Based on this result, Sparta Science recommends suitcase deadlifts, normal deadlifts, wood chops, plyometrics, and planks to lower my chance of injury and improve my overall profile. To that I say - done. Planks and some box jumps (as plyometrics) are easy to incorporate and I probably need to bring them back anyway.

Morning HRV not measured. Couldn't find reader 

AM

GST

- Negative Hanging Leg Lifts - 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3 - went back and adjusted the back support based on feedback from the forum. Filmed for another assessment

- Hollow Body Holds - 48, 24, 24, 24, 24s - decided to do it back and focus on the compression. Filmed a sixth set to get feedback. Struggling at higher volume was destroying my focus and form. I'll ask for form advice to confirm this is a good idea

Elevated Planche Leans - After feedback I increased the lean and went back to 6s holds for five sets. Filmed for further feedback.

- Hollow Body Holds - 5 x 36s - after deciding to dial back and focus on compression, this was a solid session.

- NHLL - 5 x 3 - filmed for feedback, adjusting the bar height on the squat rack at work to seven down from the top (or two below the top notch)

Pike pulses - 5 sets of 5 single leg, 5 sets of 10 double leg. 30s rest between sets

- APT Fixing Lunges - 4 sets of 5 per leg with 12.5kg DB - no rest between sets, just rolling through. Felt a strong stretch and work in the hip flexors. Good!

Strength Accessory Training

4 times of:

- 8 hang cleans (40kg)

- 30s side planks (each side then front) - for front, went straight arm, focused on protraction and squeezing the glutes, and extended arms away from head

- 8 x Band presses - with a band tied around a pole, stand perpendicular to the band, extending it from the pole. Hold the band under tension to your chest, then press your hands away (like a standing chest press motion). Good training for core stability as you fight the rotation forced on you by the band. Low Explode specific from Sparta Testing.
