Wall sits are awesome (the results are, the last few seconds of the hold aren’t so fun), I’ve tried doing mine with maximum tension and a bit of internal rotation with my feet, it’s a struggle to get past 30-ish seconds for the last sets but it feels like it works.
Good luck with Krav, hope it goes well, learning to handle yourself when under pressure/ in conflict situations is so important nowadays.
I haven’t tried any variation so far with this exercise (or getting past 3 sets, cough), I like to keep up the illusion that they are not that hard for me compared to some other really basic exercises like ANY sort of push ups
Thank you, I hope the trainer won’t obliterate my humble exercise achievements right in the beginning I also hope I’ll learn one things or two about identifying potential conflict situations or buildups to such a situation
It’s ok to not want to do more than 3 sets of wall sits, I do that many then a few burnout reps of banded squats, I wouldn’t want to do more than 3 lol. Wall push-ups can be a good start for building up to proper push-ups, especially if you apply the same internal rotation with your hands (like trying to crush the ground/wall between them, pulling movements work similar but you try to pull the bar apart and it targets the required muscle), you won’t have to do many to see some benefits and progress to harder variations.
Your trainer should hopefully take your injury into account when doing things, they’ll be keen to keep you safe and to keep attending the class. I’ve not tried it myself but Krav has a rep for training people for conflict well with simulating situations you might come across, it should be good
