Last few weeks of S&C with Ben have been repeats of various rep sets, adding increases in, reps, times and hold times. Been hard work but all the sets are getting a little easier.
Managing to hit big numbers on the lateral box jumps, did 60, 58 & 60.
Plus also managed 2 unaided pull ups (as well at 30 band assisted)!
Thanks Ben !
Another great session with Ben at BRPC.
Managed in the last set of reps 48, 43 and then on last set 56 Lateral Box Jumps in 60seconds. Almost 1 per second ! Up to 35 seconds matching jump per second. Not bad for 2nd attempt!
Plus knee band assisted pull ups in that final reps, hitting 10 pull ups on last set!
Thanks Ben it’s all beginning to come together !
Back to the Gym with Ben today.
He really pushed me hard today. Starting to add lots of control to my exercises.
The Good Mornings were hard but got the hang of them.
Loving the one leg squats !
Great Facebook write up from Ben at BRPC
Great session with Ben of BRPC today. Measurement screening scores today.
Managed additional 5cm on standing two leg jump. Shows right knee coming back up to strength. Overall scored 3’s and 4’s out of 5. So lots to work on.
Second half worked on Single leg squats, solid press ups and balance on Swiss ball.
Managed 2 out of 3 attempts in standing Swiss ball with time over 2 minutes !
Part of the rehabilitation process as back on skis for first time since my fall in Hintertux, some 4 weeks ago. 1:1 for one hour with Ben, included warm ups, very easy skiing, turns ensuring knee follows ski tip. Ben also video’d several of my runs and we analysed my lower leg, knee, thigh alignment. Good news no pain either on the slope or afterwards and the video analysis shows very little/no dependancy on my left knee or compensation for my right knee. Thanks Ben and thanks to SnoZoneMK for the slope access.
[Dad edit – I am sure I could make an iMovie of these funky Dance Moves below!]
Great piece of sports video analysis software that allows angle, line, position analysis to be measured. Green lines show I kept my legs/knees parallel so no dependancy / compensation. All good news. 
Massive thanks to Ben and Paul @ Elite for getting me back so quickly. Now the hard work continues !
Hopefully its my last Wednesday without games at school but it does allow me to attend additional physio / strength and conditioning with Ben. Another hard but amazing session.
After a day looking at potential new senior school, off to Ben’s for Strength and Conditioning Session at Ben Reid Performance Coaching gym in MK. Ben working me hard on muscle development around the MCL on right knee. Also working hard on the rest of the Core and balance. Cant wait for Wednesday’s session. Thank you Ben.
In consultation with Paul at Elite Physical Medicine, Ben has put together a series of knee muscle strengthening exercises for the next two weeks.
