    CMJ – 59.5cm / 23.5″

    SL Box Jumps – 3 x 12 (per leg)
    Box Jumps – 3 x 6
    18″ Depth Jumps – 3 x 5
    Jump Squats – 3 x 12 x 20kg
    RDL – 3 x 6 x 87.5kg
    Squat – 3 x 6 x 102.5kg

    Single leg box jumps were awful, no rhythm at all and couldn’t work on hip extension. It’s possible I set the bench too high and that’s causing me problems. Everything else was great and I had a really solid gain on my vert.

    Better coordination with the single leg jumps, I reduced the distance by ~2 inches and that made all the difference. Phase II should be regular deadlift but I feel much more comfortable with a hex bar which shouldn’t be a problem including instead. My 1RM wa estimated at 150kg based on this site https://strengthlevel.com/52858-9to5strength where I’d been tracking my lifts.

    Good workout, TOOL have a new album so I was blasting that in the gym at 7am.

    Here’s my 2nd attempt at the single leg box jumps.
