Physical Therapy, New Exercises

Went to physical therapy today for the groin injury and have some new exercises to incorporate. Some I can do now, others will have to wait till school starts. Most are single leg exercises to help build strength in the healing area.

Single Leg Dumbbell Romanian Deadlift:
-I will incorporate these on the "pull" day. 2x10 each leg

Single Leg Glute Ham Bridge:
-I am substituing this for the normal glute bridge from before. 3x10 each side

Skater Jumps:
-I will do these at the end of the "push" day because it seems to work the quads, and appears like a sideways jumping squat almost, in my mind. 2x10 each side (2x20)

Medicine Ball Throw:
-I have to wait until school to do this, I need medicine balls and a wall. Three hops, one throw. 5 times, 2-3 sets.
