DC - B2
Started with 3 x each of these The End of Elbow Pain movements.
Wu: 10, 12.5kg X 10
Work: 15kg x 15, 8, 7 (30)
Stretch: 1 min
Really felt that in my bis (and forearms think they tend to dominate my bi work) and not too bad on elbows. Stretch felt good today, first time using straps, probably should have been listening to dusty and doing that from the beginning.
12.5kg x 12
Stretch: 1 min
First time that stretch felt on point, nearly tapped out early.
Well I had no ideas so:
Donkey calf raises:
60kg x 12 - 5/15
At least I beat it today, calf training is quite possibly my least favourite part of all of DC, in part because I never train my calves and I have no inclination to do so and in the other part its stupidly painful doing the DC method.
Wu: 40, 50, 60kg x 8
Work: 65kg x 15, 8, 6 (29)
Stretch: 1 min
Time to change this out, the rep quality wasn’t great towards the end either.
SSB banded squats:
60, 80, 80kg + b, r+b, p&r&b x 5
Work: 80kg + g+b+r x 8
Wm: 80kg + b&r x 20
Stretch: 1 min
That top set was serious, so much tension from those bands, stabilisation was very difficult, kept wondering if I’d get up but as soon as the band tension eased I could explode into the tension and just about grind the top out. Pouring with sweat and exertion headache - that’s before the WMer! The extra red band on the WMer just destroyed me, I think reps 17-20 were hard than 23-26 last week.
This works so well for getting to squat with a fragile back, the training effect feels massive, the systemic stress feels way less than regular squats.
