Workout: Leg Re-intro (Day 4)

Date: 2026-06-29 (Monday) Program: Custom (Wrist Rehab / Re-entry) Status: Plan

Analysis

Glutes, quads, hamstrings (indirect), core, conditioning. First leg session after 3 days of hamstring rest — testing tolerance with a glute-dominant warm-up and mid-range movements only. Phase 1 of plans/wrist-friendly-reboot.md: RPE 6-7, avoid end-range, prioritize pain-free movement. No direct hamstring isolation.

Warm-Up (5-8 min)

  1. BikeErg: 3 min easy spin
  2. Glute activation series:
    • Glute bridges (hold top for 3s, squeeze) — 2x15
    • 90/90 stretches — 2 min each side
    • Supine piriformis stretch — 30s each side
  3. Leg swings — forward and side (test hamstring ROM)

Exercises

  • Hip Thrusts: 3x10-12 @ bodyweight. Flat back, drive through heels, squeeze glutes at top. Mid-range glute work — if any hamstring discomfort, stop immediately.
  • Step-Ups: 2x10 per leg @ bodyweight. Low box (~6-8"), pain-free on Day 1.
  • Band Press: 3x12-15. Proven wrist-safe. Keeps pressing frequency going.
  • Dead Bugs: 3x10-12 per side @ bodyweight. Core stability, zero wrist.
  • BikeErg: 5-10 min easy (Zone 1-2). If hamstring feels fine during the workout, keep this as a cool-down only.

Notes

  • Hamstring watch: This is a test session. If ANY pain returns at any point, stop that exercise and sub in upper body work instead.
  • No deep squat, no RDL, no Bulgarians, no direct hamstring work.
  • Grip: Minimal left hand demand — PT handles grip work separately.
  • Goal: Get through the session pain-free, assess how it feels tomorrow.
  • Total session ~45 min.
