# 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 (with weight):** 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)
