SHANE'S TRAINING - Week of Dec 25, 2023

This week is Christmas and that generally means the gym is pretty slow. A lot of people are out of town or being lazy, waiting for the new year to start with a renewed vigor. This, and not having to do school pick up, means I have a little more time than usual to get my training done. That’s good news.

The BAD news is that I tore my left glute last week. It’s in the upper part of the glute and seems like a small tear. It’s already on a positive trajectory and doesn’t generally hurt when just walking around. The type of movement that hurts the most is any kind of hinging/forward flexion. Since every single classic lift starts as a hinge, I won’t be doing any of those lifts for a while. Leg work in general will be a little questionable. I will experiment and see what hurts and what doesn’t and do a bunch of that.

Since I, too, want to spend time with family and friends at this time of year, my frequency is going to be lower. I’ll plan out 4 days but it might even end up being 3.
