Workout: Wrist-Friendly Reboot — Day 1 (Full Body A)

Date: 2026-06-25 Program: Custom (Wrist Rehab / Re-entry) 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."

Exercises

  • BikeErg Warm-Up: 5 min easy — completed
  • Goblet Squats: 3x10 @ 25 lb — completed. Minimal wrist pain. Felt stiffness in left knee initially (resolved by end of set after using mirror to check symmetry). Left hamstring tightness flared up after this exercise.
  • Landmine Rows: 2x10/arm unweighted (both knees down), then more later standing after 90/90 stretches — completed. Left hand grip was at its limit for the session. Hamstring loosened up after 90/90 stretching, allowing standing rows later.
  • Step-Ups: 1x10/leg — completed. Felt fine, no issues. (Subbed for hip thrusts due to hamstring precaution.)
  • Lateral Raises: 3x15 unweighted — completed. Felt harder than expected (deconditioned delts).
  • Ab Roller: Skipped — too much wrist strain.
  • Hip Thrusts: Skipped — hamstring precaution.
  • Nordic Curls: Skipped — hamstring precaution.
  • BikeErg Cool-Down: 5-10 min easy — completed.

Warm-Up (5-8 min)

  1. BikeErg: 5 min easy spin — ramp up from RPE 2 to 4 then back down
  2. Mobility:
    • Arm circles / shoulder CARs (slow, controlled — tests wrist ROM)
    • Leg swings (forward and side)
    • Bodyweight squats (a few reps to groove the pattern)
  3. First exercise light: Start goblet squats with just the dumbbell held in position for a few warm-up reps

Notes

  • First session back after several months off + wrist fracture recovery (5.5 weeks post-op).
  • Everything at RPE 6-7. Re-entry, not a PR push.
  • Pain = guide — if any exercise causes wrist pain, stop, lighten, or sub it out.
  • Use straps for any pulling exercise if grip is an issue.
  • Total time should be ~45-60 minutes.

Post-Workout Feedback

  • Left hamstring is the clear limiter right now, not the wrist. Triggered by deep squat position (goblet squat). Resolves quickly with 90/90 glute stretching. Similar to old squat/deadlift pain pattern — likely upstream tightness (glutes/piriformis) referred to hamstring.
  • Left hand grip endurance is a bottleneck — straps will be essential for pulling exercises.
  • Push-ups and ab roller are out for now due to wrist ROM/pain. Options: landmine press (push), dead bugs / pallof press / leg raises (core).
  • 90/90 stretches were a game-changer mid-session for hamstring relief — should be done daily and pre-workout.
