I don’t care if you are injured…what are you doing about it?

by John Lark on September 23, 2009

Ok….13 days post grade II MCL tear and here is what I did today

Block 1 - Mobility 5 minutes

Block 2 - 10 minutes block of

Trap Bar Deadlifts x 3 @80% of BW

Press Ups x 10

Bent Over Single Arm Rows x 5 each arm - 12 kg DB

Did 9 sets so happy with that but could have cranked out 1-2 more

Block 3 - Sled Pulls - 25yrds each length with 80kg

15 lengths in 10 minutes

Felt great - 3 minute rest

Block 4 - Cosgrove Bar Complex

40kg 6 reps of Deadlift, Rom Deadlift, Bent Over Row, Power Clean, Front Squat (1/2 range), Push Press, Back Squat, Good AM

Rest 90s then repeat for 5 reps, rest for 90s then for 4 reps rest for 90s etc etc, down to 1 rep of each

Rest for 5 minutes and I needed it that was tough

Block 5 - Sled Pulls - 25yrds each length with 80kg

17 lengths in 10 minutes

Got angry and did a David Banner at the end to finish.

Overall really happy, mentally good and feel that when I do get back it will be in good nick rather than ‘look at him, he loves his food’ state.
