I did the broad jumps first as a sort of warmup...really paid off. Tied my PR on 3 jumps, then second to last I broke the PR...I focused on jumping a bit higher and really kicking my legs forward at the end, that's where I definitely lose distance on these.
Felt a bit weak here, no pop really...core was really sore too
Still a bit out of sorts, didn't have much pop on any of the exercises I did...

Definitely tired here...don't usually have a full body workout day before sprinting, at least during the summer...
Back from weekend away, took it easy on my upper body here since I'll be doing it again in 48 hours...rest of workout went fine, down a bit on hanging power snatches though...really just weak overall. Did a lot of driving and stuff the past few days, maybe I'm just tired. On the snatch-grip OH carries, I couldn't even snatch the 130 up over my head, and then for a second set couldn't even do them beause I couldn't snatch 115.
I hadn't tried a 200 in ages, so I did here...I thought maybe I'd be around my record pace...I was not. No idea what happened, think I was too slow around the curve maybe....
Good session, glad I bumped up weight on pullups, I enjoy heavier ones way more than lower weight and higher reps.
I'm going away this weekend so I need to do things in a different order this week. Sprinted day before here so I wasn't expecting much, surprised myself though..good pop everywhere.
Tried a 100 here, got a crummy start though. Also, sand pit is currently rife with sand wasps so I didn't do any broad jumping.
Posterior chain was pretty sore after yesterday, took it a bit easy here, although hanging power snatches continue to go well.
Broad jumping went fantastic...tied PR here, feels good man....3 jumps at/over 10', everything from 9.5' and up. Feels great.

Bumped up the weights slightly here, and reps too, at least on squats.
Another good session, upped weight on pullups, I prefer doing them heavy.
AM
More broad jumps, seem to be adding distance on each time, creeping closer to a PR.
AM:
Felt good pulling here, strength ticked up last week on HPS, I think I finally got the form back to where I want it on them. Enjoying split jerks as well, I think they could end up being just as fun as snatches as I progress on them. Also, back to pullups for a few weeks here.
Not going as deep on hip thrusts seems to help with form, and not feeling like I'm pulling something in my abdomen, I think I was hyper-extending before.
Good session here, really loving the head supported rows, may rotate back to pullups from chinups soon.

I'm so happy to be doing broad jumps again, I only did them once in 2019 for some reason, no clue why. Great way to finish off a workout and work on something that has pretty good technical requirements to work on too. I'm carrying a couple less pounds of fat this cut, as I noted before, and I can feel the difference. It may not sound like a lot, but if I was 194 at 9.5% last year, and I'm ~192 right now at 8% that takes me from 18.4 lbs of fat last year to 15.5 this year. So the amount of fat weight is down like 16%.
