Well last week was not supposed to be an off-week for my legs completely, but since some assholes bombed my city, and then put the city on lockdown my gym was closed Friday. It's ok, my lower back & hips were getting tired anyway, I actually feel much fresher. Plus I still sprinted. I was curious how jumps would go. Well, they went well. Very well. I feel like I'm zeroing in on form on them, really exploding forward. I could still stand to do it more forcefully, but it's definitely getting better. Plus most importantly to this session, I don't let my feet trail behind me. I threw them forward as I landed which resulted in the longer jumps, previously my body would almost always be 'ahead' of my feet, costing me several inches off the jumps.
Jump rope is coming along great, I found a rope I really like there. Now that I'm doing longer sets I can start recording them, since there will be fewer overall. On the 46, 52, 60, and 60 I actually did not stop because I messed up, I was just gassed. I also get shin-splints on the last few sets, I need to land softer. Finished with some plate transfer planks, which also went great. They are REALLY taxing for some reason, I think because your arm is crossing the median line of your body. Here's a video of Lee Boyce doing them. Check out his site here and his articles on T-Nation here. A great deal of my core work, as well stretching/diagnostic stuff that I don't record on this blog are from him.
