Pleased to improve on Copenhagen planks, adductors feel much less flimsy. I also increased the weight on the calf lower for my Achilles, which supposedly needs over a month of complete rest to heal but isn’t getting any worse, so I hope this helps it.

Good week of training, really pleased with the progress of my adductors which no longer feel like they could give way at any moment. Since there are only 3 sessions that get repeated 8 times it’s already a little bit tedious but the short duration workouts suit my schedule so it’s been nice. I can tell in the jump complex that my quads are pretty tired and the plan is to complete the final session of phase 7 on Wed 9th, re-test vert on Fri 11th and start phase 8 on Monday 14th or even Sunday 13th.
Here are my band assisted Nordic curls
