So its that time of the year when the big fat guy checks in and hands out the goodies. A shout to Dan and Paul at PTC Perth for opening the gym from 9-12 on Xmas Eve so us poor suckers wouldn't go into lifting withdrawal.
It was actually kind of funny as most of the crew looked a little shell shocked training so early and some actually looked surprised to find that 9:00 o'clock also happens in the morning!
All in all it was a great session with the holiday cheer in evidence and a good vibe going throughout the whole session.
On a personal note I had a another physio session to loosen my left adductor. Prognosis is that I have had the adductor tighten up primarily through the natural training load over time. Based on the feedback I should be good to go with a normal Wendler in a couple of weeks. In the mean time I have decided to run Smolov Jr Bench again and get another 5 kg PB. During this cycle I will be doing plenty of adductor stretch and foam rolling across the glute to ensure no tightness returns. Obviously I will continue with upper body assistance, plenty of chins ( up to 70 reps a session now), and inverted rows and upper back band rows.
I have found this upper back work has really added stability to my bench and contributed to my recent 10kg PB.
Make sure all of you stay safe over the break and for the PTC crew I look forward to big sessions on Thursday with two days of Xmas meals carbo loaded!
Stay Strong
