Good to see Pat has been tearing things up in my absence. I've been holed up with all sorts of back issues. I haven't been able to do much of anything without getting main into my glute, even seated work was painful.

After 3 weeks of pretty much complete rest I'm climbing the walls to get back in the gym. I'm going to carry on with 5/3/1 but I'm going to program squats light.

5/3/1 Wave 6 - Week 1 - Day 1, 5's

Squats

1x5 70kg
1x5 87.5kg
1x5 100kg
1x5 115kg
3x5 87.5kg

I've really dropped the weight down. All reps were nice and fast. Almost forgot what it was like to have a solid day on squats. Got a little bit of extra volume in, going to see how that goes.

Hip thrust

5x5 60kg

Really easy. Focused on maintaining the contraction at the top. Going to be doing these regularly.

That's it. Nice a quick but the best day I've had in the gym for months. Been a few hours since I did the session and no adverse reaction from my glute.

Conditioning looks good. I actually just watched this video ebcause you commented on it on Facebook.

Might give it a try to be honest.

You can swap the exercises around as long as the underlying principle is maintained, 15-20 seconds of work and 40-45 seconds of "aerobic recovery". It's supposed to better replicate the work done in a game of rubgy but I think anyone could use it.
