    Sounds good to me...as I mentioned on the phone, you'll want to connect with Kori Martini here on the Team. Go to Community / Member Directory and type in her name...you can friend her up and even send her a message (see envelope icon at the top). Have a great weekend!

    Kristin,

    Our focus in the gym has been on strength, mobility and stability. We have incorporated uni-lateral exercises as well as balance into the workout routine.

    For the first 3 weeks we would superset two exercises focusing on the same area for 3 sets of 15 reps. These included leg press, single leg on the leg extension; cable rows, assisted pull-ups; chest press, chest fly (pec deck); crunches on the boss ball, seated upright crunch machine.

    In addition we would superset single prone leg curls, seated leg curls; glute/hip lift bridges, dumbbell Romanian deadlifts; hip adduction and abduction; smith machine bench press and plated chest press; dumbbell overhead shoulder press, plated seated overhead press; abdominal trio on incline bench of leg lifts, reverse crunches and thrust ups.

    We have moved onto a slightly different format and are now doing 4 sets of 12 reps.
    In addition you have "homework" to do on your own which includes balance work, abdominal exercises and single leg squats.

    You have completed supersets of Leg Press, bosu squats; kneeling torso twister, plate weighted crunches; plated rows, lat pulldowns; cable deadlifts, squats with ball against wall; abcore crunches with feet vertical

    We will continue to focus on strength, especially in areas that are weaker and ones used most in triathlon.

    Please let me know if you need any other information.

    Thanks,
    Jill

    Kristin thanks for the detail. Sounds like you are well on your way to becoming a champion body builder!!!

    I'd like to talk with you about this in a bit more detail in our next call (If you haven't you booked one, you can do it under the TrainingPlan tab in the navigation) so we can make sure the transition makes sense back to full sport participation, etc.

    How is the rest of your training going right now? Is there somewhere I can look (Strava, TrainingPeaks)?
