  • 7kg MB Slams: 50, 50, 50
  • 34" Plyo Box Jumps: 4kg*10 8kg*10
  • 34" Seated Plyo Box Jumps: 10kg*10 12kg*10
  • Paloffs: 50*3 60*2

So since I can't quite get onto the medium & tall box stacked on each other (about 39") without worrying about catching my shins on the steel frame, I decided to hold a weight in front of me while jumping on the regular height box.  This way I'll get used to jumping with the extra weight, should make getting on the taller stack easier.  Honestly though I wish they had soft boxes to jump on instead of these steel ones, seems like a leg-break hazard.  Apparently the club in Medford has soft boxes.  Also liked how holding a kettlebell while doing the jumps took the arm swing out of the movement and made me focus more on legs.

I am actually still alive.  I was just busy this week and I wasn't sleeping well for some reason, so I'm posting these all on October 1st.  Anyhoo, I tried holding a kettle bell while doing the weighted seated box jumps.  I just figure I can probably do 50 or 60 regular plyo box jumps, but at some point rather doing more I need to make the jumps I actually do more challenging.  Last week I had put 25 lbs. plates under the legs of the box to try and increase the height but it's really unstable.  I can't quite get the medium box on the tall box, I need another inch or so on my vertical before I can get there, so I'm going to try and do the weighted jumps for a while, see if that helps.
