**Status:** Complete
## Analysis
Quads, glutes, hamstrings (indirect), upper back, side delts, hips, conditioning. First session back after multi-month layoff + distal radius fracture (5.5 weeks post-op). Goal: establish baseline RPE, identify pain points, test which movements are tolerated. Phase 1 (tendon adaptation) of `plans/wrist-friendly-reboot.md` — all movements at RPE 6-7, mid-range only, "let pain be your guide."

# Workout: Wrist-Friendly Reboot — Day 2 (Upper Body + Core)
**Date:** 2026-06-26 (Friday)
**Program:** Custom (Wrist Rehab / Re-entry)
**Status:** Complete
## Analysis
Front/side/rear delts, upper back/traps, core (anti-rotation), conditioning. Hamstring rest day after Day 1 triggered referred pain — maintain upper body stimulus while letting hamstring settle without interruption. Phase 1 (`plans/wrist-friendly-reboot.md`) — glute-dominant warm-up preps for eventual leg re-introduction without loading hamstrings directly.

## Exercises
- ~~**Landmine Press:**~~ Swapped — ulnar side of wrist too tender for compression in the neutral grip. Replaced with:
- **Band Press:** 3x12-15 — completed. Felt great. Freedom of rotation helped wrist.
- **Face Pulls:** 3x15-20 — completed. Great.
- **Lateral Raises:** 3x15 @ 5 lb — completed. Pain-free, felt in delts.
- **Dead Bugs:** 3x10-12 per side — completed. No issues.
- **Pallof Press (from standing):** 3x10-12 per side — completed. Held mostly with right hand, left rode along to avoid hard grip.
- **Landmine Press:** 3x10-12 per arm @ 25-35 lb each side. Neutral wrist pressing — safe alternative to OHP/bench. Start light, focus on control.
- **Face Pulls:** 3x15-20 @ light band or very light weight. Upper back / rear delt health.
- **Lateral Raises:** 3x15 @ light weight or unweighted. (Noted as harder than expected on Day 1 — deconditioned delts. That's fine, this builds back fast.)
- **Dead Bugs:** 3x10-12 per side @ bodyweight. Core stability, zero wrist load.
- **Pallof Press (from half-kneeling):** 3x10-12 per side @ light band or cable. Anti-rotation core, zero wrist stress.
## Conditioning
- **BikeErg:** 10 min — completed. Mostly Zone 3 but felt good.
- **BikeErg:** 10 min easy pace (Zone 1-2). Smallest hamstring demand of any leg-based cardio — isolated hip flexion, no hip hinge or compression.

- **Straps available** for grip if needed (shouldn't be for these exercises).
- If feeling energetic, add 1-2 more sets or extend the BikeErg to 15 min. Don't add leg work.
## Results
- **Band Press:** great sub for landmine — no wrist pain
- **Lateral Raises:** 5 lb is the right starting weight, deconditioned delts were felt
- **Bike:** spent more time in Zone 3 than planned, but felt fine — no hamstring complaint
## Why No Legs Today
Left hamstring is "really sore" — a stronger signal than Day 1's "tight." The trigger mechanism (deep hip flexion from goblet squats) is consistent, and the referral pattern (no tender spot in hamstring belly, releases with 90/90s) points to glute/piriformis compressing the sciatic nerve.

# Workout: Upper Body + Core (Variant B)
**Date:** 2026-06-27 (Saturday)
**Program:** Custom (Wrist Rehab / Re-entry)
**Status:** Complete
## Analysis
Shoulders (all three heads + rotator cuff via YTWs), upper back, core. Continue upper body development while hamstring recovers; introduce YTWs as a shoulder health / rotator cuff stimulus. Phase 1 (`plans/wrist-friendly-reboot.md`) — still avoiding leg load until hamstring is pain-free. Rotating core and accessory exercises across sessions for variety while maintaining the same RPE 6-7 ceiling.
## Warm-Up (5-8 min)
1. **BikeErg:** 5 min easy spin — ramp up from RPE 2 to 4 then back down
2. **90/90 Stretches:** 2 min each side
3. **Supine piriformis stretch:** 30s each side
4. **Glute bridges:** 2x15 (wake up glutes, keep hams relaxed)
5. **Arm circles / shoulder CARs:** test wrist ROM
## Exercises
- **Band Press:** 3x12-15 — completed. Zero wrist issues.
- **YTWs (unweighted):** 3x8-10 each letter — completed. New movement felt good.
- **Face Pulls:** 3x15-20 — completed.
- **Lateral Raises:** 3x15 @ 5 lb — completed. Pain-free.
- **Dead Bugs:** 3x10-12 per side — completed.
- **BikeErg:** 10 min — completed.
## Notes
- Hamstring still has mild discomfort — no leg loading, continue letting it settle.
- YTWs are new — take them slow, focus on the squeeze, not the weight.
- Same grip rules: minimal left hand demand. Straps available if needed.
- If anything hurts (wrist, hamstring, shoulder), stop or sub it out.
- Total session ~45 min.
## Results
- YTWs went well unweighted — can add 2-3 lb next time for more stimulus
- Hamstring mild discomfort persisted but didn't worsen during session — still not ready for leg loading
- Everything else pain-free and smooth
## Adjustments from Day 2 Feedback
- ✅ Band press confirmed as the pressing alternative (no wrist compression)
- ✅ Lateral raises at 5 lb — good starting weight
- 🆕 YTWs added — shoulder health / new stimulus
- 🆕 Pallof Press swapped out for Dead Bugs only (alternating core exercises each session)
- ❌ Still no leg work (hamstring mild discomfort — not yet pain-free)

# Plan: Wrist-Friendly Reboot
**Started:** 2026-06-25
**Context:** Returning after multi-month layoff + distal radius fracture (5/16/2026, 5.5 weeks post-op at start). Left hamstring glute-referral pattern emerged Day 1.
## Overview
Three-phase reintroduction — prioritize connective tissue adaptation, re-establish motor patterns, then build strength. Each phase has a minimum duration; progress only when the current phase is tolerated pain-free.
## Phases
### Phase 1: Tendon Adaptation & Reintroduction (Weeks 1-4)
**~Jun 25 Jul 23**
| Element | Guideline |
|---------|-----------|
| Intensity | RPE 6-7, sub-50% estimated 1RM |
| ROM | Mid-range only. Avoid end-range (stretch at bottom/top of any movement) |
| Volume | Maintenance zone (4-6 sets/muscle group/week) |
| Key constraints | No deep squat, no push-ups, no ab roller, no heavy grip. Landmine/band press for pushing. Dead bugs for core. Straps on all pulls. |
| Legs currently | Hamstring rest until pain-free at rest. Then re-introduce via glute-emphasis warm-up + mid-range movements (hip thrusts, step-ups, heels-elevated squats). |
| Wrist | No barbell bench/OHP. Neutral-grip or band variations. Grip work done separately in PT (3x/day). |
| Progress trigger | All sessions pain-free for 1 week, with normal next-day recovery |
**Typical Week:**
| Day | Session | Example |
|-----|---------|---------|
| Mon | Full Body (legs) | Hip thrusts, step-ups, band press, face pulls, dead bugs, BikeErg |
| Wed | Upper Body + Core | Band press, YTWs, lateral raises, pallof press, BikeErg |
| Fri | Full Body (legs) | Heels-elevated goblet squats, step-ups, band press, lateral raises, dead bugs |
| Daily homework | 90/90s, supine piriformis stretch, glute bridges, PT grip work |
### Phase 2: Progressive Loading (Weeks 4-8)
**~Jul 23 Aug 20**
| Element | Guideline |
|---------|-----------|
| Intensity | RPE 7-8, 60-75% estimated 1RM |
| ROM | Gradually reintroduce full ROM over the phase |
| Volume | Minimum effective to maximum adaptive (8-12 sets/muscle group/week) |
| Key changes | Reintroduce barbell bench and OHP (landmine or dumbbell variants if wrist still issues). Full squat depth as tolerated. Begin direct hamstring work (RDLs from blocks, Nordic curls at partial ROM). |
| Grip | Reassess weekly. Add farmer's carries, dead hangs once wrist PT clears it. |
| Progress trigger | All exercises at full ROM, no pain, normal recovery |
**Typical Week:**
| Day | Session | Example |
|-----|---------|---------|
| Mon | Full Body A | Squat (full depth, moderate), flat DB bench, DB rows, RDLs (partial), core |
| Wed | Full Body B | OHP (landmine/DB), pull-ups (straps), Bulgarians, face pulls, core |
| Fri | Full Body C | Deadlift (light), incline press, rows, step-ups, conditioning finisher |
| Daily homework | 90/90s as needed. Grip work reduced to 1-2x/day PRN |
### Phase 3: Strength Building (Weeks 8+)
**~Aug 20 onward**
| Element | Guideline |
|---------|-----------|
| Intensity | RPE 8-9, 75-85% training max |
| ROM | Full ROM on all lifts |
| Volume | Maximum adaptive (12-18 sets/muscle group/week) |
| Key changes | Transition to Juggernaut or structured program. Main lifts: squat, bench (if wrist ready), deadlift, OHP. |
| Conditioning | Trail runs/hikes, jump rope, BikeErg intervals. |
**Typical Week:**
| Day | Session | Example |
|-----|---------|---------|
| Mon | Heavy Lower | Squat (Juggernaut wave), RDL, single-leg work |
| Wed | Heavy Upper | Bench (Juggernaut wave), rows, OHP, pull-ups |
| Fri | Hypertrophy / Accessory | Volume work, lunges, conditioning finisher |
| Sat/Sun | Trail hike or ruck | Active recovery, 30-60 min |
| Conditioning | BikeErg or jump rope | 2-3x/week, 10-20 min post-workout |
## Current Status
As of 2026-06-29 (Monday): **Week 2 of Phase 1**
- 2 upper body sessions completed (pain-free)
- 1 full body session completed (hamstring triggered, now resolved)
- Hamstring: feeling ~100% today. Leg re-intro planned.
- Wrist: band press works great. Landmine press causes ulnar compression pain. Grip work in PT 3x/day.
## References to Agent Config
- `reintroduction period (weeks 1-4)` guideline in agent config maps to Phase 1
- `left hand grip limitation` guideline applies through Phase 1 and into Phase 2
- Check-in on grip progression: early this week (Mon/Tue)
- Hamstring rehab: glute activation pattern, not tendinopathy
