Upper Assistance
As my left shoulder is making steady improvement, I'm shifting from a more conservative approach (for me) to pushing things a little bit to see how I respond. Today was good overall and definitely better than last week.
1/2 Kneeling Single Arm Landmine Presses/Neutral Grip Pullups
15ea x 25/5xBW
6ea x 45/5xBW
8ea x 65/5xBW
8ea x 70/5xBW
8ea x 75/5xBW
I'm keeping the pullups very strict with a brief pause at top and bottom of each rep.
Blast Strap Rows/Blast Strap Y's/Thumbs Down Lateral Raises
3x{10xBW/10xBW/15x10}
Incline Reverse Crunches/Band ABC Hypers
3x{20xBW/10x doubled micro + 10btn}
I really like the ABC hypers because it's a rotational core exercise with more of a low back focus instead of abs. I like doing these with my hands behind head instead of my arms across my chest because I feel like it lets me focus on the rotational component more. When you can’t hold enough weight behind your head to make them difficult (or when it turns into a neck exercise instead of low back), adding band tension is the way to go.
