• Plyo-Bench clap-pushup: 5, 5
• Side-Planks: 40 seconds
• P.U.P.P.: 1:00

Quick session here, did tall box jumps unilaterally this time.  Didn't get them quite as cleanly as the medium box jumps.  We'll see how it goes next week.    Brought back side-planks.

• 34.5" Plyo Box Jumps / 34.5" Seated Plyo Box Jump Superset: 15-15
• 39.25" Vaults: 3
• 41" Jumps: 10

So I did the regular superset, and that went well.  I noticed I'm clearing the top of the box by over half a foot, so I stacked the medium box on the tall box, which puts it at 39.25....the thing is I just don't have the courage to try it. I'm afraid of catching my leg or shin underneath the medium box on top and breaking a leg or something.  I know I can do it, I vault onto it easily, and when I stand in place and jump while facing a mirror I'm almost 2" over the top of the box.  It's also difficult because I need to time the arc of the jump onto the box, I don't want to peak too early before I'm over the box, etc.  Overall I just need the courage to do it.  I tried jumping next to it for 10 regular jumps, landing on the floor, and I would've cleared the top of the stack every single time.

• 28kg KB Swing Tabata: 13,13,13,13,12,12,12,13
• 34.5" Plyometric Box Jumps: 30
• 35.5" Seated Plyometric Box Jumps: 20
• Paloff Presses: 50*3
• Ab-Wheel: 6

Good session, feels good to get back into it!  Started putting plates under the box legs to up the height.  I briefly thought about attempting to try jumps onto a medium box stacked on the tall, which would put me at 39.5".  When I jump straight up my feet actually clear the top by about .5", but the risk is pretty high right now, I'm going to build up over the next couple weeks. I need to find a way to raise the boxes that's safer than putting them on weight plates and putting the legs of the boxes on the hole in the middle.  Seated jumps went well too.  Good session, video of seated box jumps below!
