may 2014. injury. complete. proximal. hamstring. tendon. rupture. rehab. 12 months. 2387 km tracked. 462 hours logged. may 215.

The time has come (and is probably overdue) to focus less on individual exercises and more on the total progress of things. Things are going reasonably well. I haven't done as much explosive training as I'm supposed to, but I…

One more visit with the PT resulted in me taking the next step in my rehab training. I'm now supposed to start the explosive/rapid movement training. Whoa! Having wanted to make a full day out of it, I went to…

30C outside today made for a fairly hot gym. I decided to skip warm-up in the traditional sense (which for me is the elliptical trainer/crosstrainer for 30-60 min). Crunches and plank exercises work wonders too 🙂 3x 100 crunches 3x…

No gym today, plenty of sunshine and walking though. Today's total came to +21km walking to and from work in gorgeous sunshine! It was warm, and towards the end of each walk, the hamstring gets tired, but if that's my…

Woohoo, back to rehab training after two weeks of (almost) vacation 🙂 1x 30 min crosstrainer, 4.1 km 3x 20 side twist/crunch 3x 10 tricep curls (40) 3x 8 upper back (60) 3x 20 toe/calf raise (60) 3x 8 seated…

I took a break from (gym) rehab the past two weeks. It sort of sucks, but I needed a proper break! The first week I spent in Hagge (Dalarna) doing some walking, some Golf (!), and various other activities like…

Today was different. Today was very different. It was different in the way that I walked 14.91 km (though Endomondo "forgot" two of them, so really should have ended up with 16.91 km on my workout). Mixed terrain. Some forrest.…

Long set today. It felt good. I can't explain the bench press dip, but I'll get there. 1x 30 min crosstrainer, 4.7 km 3x 10 bench press (bar plus 45) 3x 8 delts (50) 3x 10 flexible plank with knee-to-elbow…

Another visit at the clinic where surgery was performed. This time the meeting was with the surgeon. We're five days short of two months since surgery. He was very pleased with how things were progressing. He asked me how I…
