2.1 KiB

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)
