Congratulations idle_wilder  I can step down slowly onto my right foot but am nervous of the left not coping, so my right leg gets stronger and my left not so muchā¦ I also go down steep slopes sideways, right leg first to protect left knee - N the pt/pt is aware of this and will work on it And as for rests - he keeps telling me I donāt rest long enough between sets - everyone else in the gum seems to spend more time looking at their phones between sets and I get bored. Will leave some Fetch threads for next time

I do drop jumps as part of my plyometric training.... perhaps not to everyone's tastes then!

The rest time seems far too long, Rosehip, but I can do more reps/lift heavier if I stick to it. It doesnāt seem natural yet thiugh.

I wonder if this exercise would help with stepping down? instagram.com He uses it as a way of building up to a pistol squat, but it looks similar to a step down. I have a lot of time for this guy, Dr Aaron Horschig, he makes a lot of sense to me. I tend to program rest periods in relationship to the intensity (usually measured as a percentage of maximum weight that can be lifted in an all out, 1 rep effort or 1RM) of the lifting. Lighter/aerobic lifting (15+ reps, or around 60% 1RM) around 30 seconds rest. Moderate intensity/ hyper trophy lifting (10ish reps, around 70% 1RM) 90-120 seconds rest High Intensity/ maximal strength lifting (1-5 reps, 80% and greater 1RM) 2.5 - 5 minutes rest. |

Iāve looked at that before, HK, and thought it looks like a useful progression. My PT has had me doing adapted pistol squats down to a seat, then āallowingā a bit of assistance from my other foot to stand back up again. Iāve gone from a full 2 footed rise to using just the toes of my other foot. My quads are always a bit sore the next day but itās such a good way of building strength and quickly. Stepping down off rocky steps felt like the same movement. |

I reaped some real life benefits from my strength training. I could lift my 25+ lbs backpack onto the overhead shelf in the train with ease. I'm 5"4 and that shelf is at least 5"10. Nice overhead press even though I don't train that right now. I got some surprised looks from other passengers. š
