THE WEEKLY BRIEF UPDATE

1. #Achillesgate2020 Update

I started doing standing calf-raises in rehab this week.

That’s something.

Onward!

2. You can now purchase CORE @ Home for whatever it is you want to pay.

During quarantine I started a platform where I’d deliver 20-40 minute workouts that could be performed in everyone’s living room using minimal equipment.

In all I curated 36 workouts using nothing but bodyweight, bands, and kettlebells and/or dumbbells. With many people still reticent to head back to their regular gyms (not to mention the scarcity of gym equipment out there to purchase) I figured this would be a nice opportunity to help.

Whether you want to spend $1 or $100, the workouts are ready and available to start.

I’m going GHOST PROTOCOL! . At the end of my training session today (I did upper body and my pecs could cut diamonds, FYI) I wanted to up the ante on my Achilles rehab. . I took a bit of initiative and preemptively added in some standing calf raise isometrics ahead of my rehab schedule, because, GHOST PROTOCOL Y’ALL. I live life dangerously. . Nothing crazy – a few sets of 10-15s holds – using the bands to provide a degree of deloading. . It…was…hard. . But a welcome challenge. . Additionally, today also included some 90/90 lift-offs courtesy of @davidgreyrehab . . 6 reps at each position with a 10s isometric on the LAST rep. You can swipe to see that vid, if for nothing else to watch @drlewisconsulting performing what’s now referred to as the “Vernon Swoop Lunge” in the background, named after @vernongriffith4 . . See, that’s what’s up: place attractive person in background performing a legit exercise = increases people’s attention twofold…😂 . . #findyourtrainablemenu #achillesgate2020
