5th week postop exercise summary

This week after some speed intervals on a stationary bike and working on the machines for isolated leg muscles I noticed a group doing Tai Chi. It is good to try something new, so I went to a beginner's class. Slow meditative movements. I'll be continuing it as time permits.

• Back squats and front squats up to 85% max
• Speed intervals on a stationary bike 
• Rowing on a Concept2 rower with resistance level 3, 28-32 m/s, using mostly legs and abs
• Isolated leg muscles on gym machines
• Isolated arm muscles in a supine position with 8-10 lbs dumbbells
• Pilates for lower body and now also side lying leg exercises
• GHD sit-ups and hip extensions
• Push-ups against wall
• Deadlifts and pulls 35kg
• Box jumps
• Snatch with PVC pipe
• Cleans, push jerk, (gentle) split jerk with 15 kg bar

During this week I seemed to have developed some "cording" across my abdomen. This does not interfere with daily activities, but does affect stretches such as lunges.
