I had knee arthroscopy on Dec 4, 2015 to remove a torn meniscus, as well as a partial lateral release to loosen up my IT band. Training right now is focused on one thing – GETTING HEALTHY.

The same warm-up was performed everyday:

  • Hip circle – 200 steps
  • Supine alternating hip hikes – x30
  • Side lying clams – x20ea
  • Lateral leg raise – x20ea
  • Single leg glute bridge – x10ea
  • Glute bridge iso hold – x:30s
  • Big 2 (bird dog/ mcgill situps)
  • Pallof Press (I prefer this to the rolling plank because it lets me feel the twist in my hips and correct it)
  • TKE Iso-hold – 10x5secx 2-4sets
  • On upper days
    • Band dislocations – 2×20
    • Band Pull aparts – 2×20
    • Mace Swings – lots
    • Pushups with scap protraction – 2×15
    • T-Spine mobilization – 2×5 holds
  • On Lower Days
    • Single leg RDL – 2x15ea
    • Hip Airplanes – 2x15ea
    • Bulgarian Split Squat – 2x15ea
    • Squat Hold – 2x:30s

I implement 10/20/Life a little bit differently than the other team members. I prefer to work off percentages, even in the off-season as I find it keeps me honest and gives me a specific goal for each training session. Weights are light and I am trying to get my work capacity up. This is the beauty of 10/20/Life – It is a philosophy, NOT a cookie cutter program!

 

[wa-wps]

First week of a more traditional off-season program is in the books and I feel great!  Bench is feeling really good and my deadlift does not seem to have taken a hit strength wise.  My squat however, feels really off.  I am in no pain at all, but since my injury I have gained a lot of mobility through the hip activation drills I have been doing.  In my normal stance, I am absolutely burying my reps and if I take my feet out a tad wider, I feel unstable.  The squat will be a work in progress it seems.  Bodyweight is down to 228lbs.  Slow and steady dropping to around 218 for my cut to 198 in June.  Plenty of time.

As for my training template, it will be based off the 10 week off-season 10/20/Life template.  I will be rotating through 3 days for each lift – Heavy (RPE based), Repetitive/ Assistance (% based), and Deload (50% singles).  I am going to squat 2x, bench 2x and deadlift once per week.  The only modification I am making to how I would normally train is that I will be squatting high bar on all but the deload days.  I need to get my leg strength back up.

Here is how the week of training broke down:

Monday – Deadlift (Heavy)
