Blarg...thought I had a PR in me here, realized my stride was shortening up, not good. May try again tomorrow. May have a session where I broad jump first to see what I can do fresh. I do love jumping.

I'm breaking out how I'm doing deadlifting here, just so I can track how my double overhand group is improving. VERY good on the snatches, no idea where it came from. On standing calves I had my toes pointing out and it was definitely better, felt it in my calves much more.
Good session, I decided to add in close-grip bench press; previously I was afraid it would be too much on my shoulder with how sore it is after dodgeball, but I've learned to throw better and not tax the shoulder as much so it's fine. Also I'm KILLING sternum pullups lately, I've just had a lot more explosion at the bottom of them.
Foam Roller ab rollouts: 3 (kneeling), 1(standing)
NO energy here for some reason. Decided to do some lighter stuff. Side-to-side pullups just for fun as well, here's a video of someone doing them, except I was gripping with both hands, not resting it on the bar.
Also foam roller ab rollouts hit some parts of my core I am not used
to tapping into, like by my hips, I don't know how else to explain it,
but I was still sore 3 days later. I think it was the standing variant that got me, so I'm going to add them in to work whatever was lagging.
Side note: Since doing the high rep dumbbell work on Thursdays for upper body I've noticed my pecs are clearly more 'square'. It's not a slight difference. You can't shape muscles, but you can definitely bring up different muscles in a group to make it appear like it, and that's probably what's going on here. I'm a fan.
