Yep. Okay. Will keep doing what I’m doing and focus on ROM to engage as best I can and get the most out of it. Thanks for the string.

Thanks Maureen. That was a second modification in addition to adding the step, actually. I forgot to mention. So, I’m definitely not creating any abrupt load by stepping side-ways with each rep; Legs start in position and I just focus on a slow and controlled eccentric movement, returning to the top. Feet don’t move.

Again, it’s not really a lot of muscle engagement, but it’s the best I could think of in keeping somewhat close to the movement. Ideas? Thanks so much!

Hi Maureen. It’s the motion/movement that’s a problem so even BW isn’t possible.

I experimented this morning with a raised step and bit of a foot angle and that helped a lot. Was able to slightly load, pain free, and engage the glute fairly well; not as intense as the movement is supposed to be but it works. Next week will see if I can load a bit more but if there are other thoughts, I’m open to recommendations.

Rachel – My routine is exactly the same as yours and I’ve tended to eat 1/2 of meal 1 at 4am and train by 5am. I do strength first and then cardio/conditioning, then work. My view is, as long as we feed out strength training and get it all in, we are good. “Don’t let perfection be the enemy of good”. 🙂 Nice to hear your limitations are similar. We make it work!

Also can’t enlarge/access the cardio wkts.

Yep. Also unable to print past the low carb 3 day, which also means unable to print recipes and exchange lists.
