Okay, so I thought I would never beat that previous broad jump record I had, but I forgot about one thing. When you start bulking there's usually a delay of a few weeks before you start to notice strength gains. It takes time to build new muscle. But when that strength gain kicks in it's usually before you've gained a lot of weight, maybe a couple pounds. Such is the case here...The strength gain has definitely kicked in, and I'm still light enough to launch myself pretty well. I didn't think of that until after this session though, so I was pretty shocked with the numbers I put up here. As I started I realized I could kick my legs forward a bit more on my landings so I tried that as well. I was trying to avoid violent hip-hinging movements this week to let that ab-strain or whatever heal. So I knew I'd pay for this later (I did, super sore next two days after), but the weather was in the high 70s it was sunny and beautiful out. Now, can I go further than this? Probably not. This is coming off the most successful cut of my life, with that early-bulk boost in strength, and I've done a lighter workload the past week.
