    10 Sept

    CMJ – 57cm

    SL Box Jumps – 5 x 12 (per leg)
    Box Jumps – 5 x 6
    18″ Depth Jumps – 5 x 5
    Jump Squats – 5 x 8 x 32.5kg
    RDL – 2 x 4 x 95kg
    Squat – 2 x 5 x 115kg

    Very pleased to start easing off with the weights, these sessions are long and arduous.

    11 Sept

    Planche Lean – 5 x 20 secs
    Frogstand (5 mins practice) – 17 secs max
    Sprinter Sit ups – 3 x 20

    Doing a few exercises for a potential full planche, these were okay.

    13 Sept

    Squat – 2 x 4 x 115kg (belted)
    Hex DL – 2 x 4 x 127.5kg
    Jump Squats – 5 x 8 x 32.5kg
    18″ Depth Jumps – 5 x 5
    Box Jumps – 5 x 6
    SL Box Jumps – 5 x 12 (per leg)

    Something about early morning workouts makes my back feel untrustworthy, so I put on a weight belt for the squats. About 1h45 of exercise, legs are getting fatigued. No concern at all that my CMJ is only 57cm, when I ran track my box jumps would go up ~5cm when I eased off weights and I can see something similar happening here. The exercises feel laboured but I’m trying my best to be explosive.

    14 Sept

    Bench Press – 4 x 5 x 90kg
    BB Rows – 4 x 5 x 80kg
    Chin Ups – 3 x 10

    Really phoning it in with the upper body work, it’s still more than I did for Vert Shock and as long as I don’t lose strength I’m not fussed.

    Very relieved to finish week 7 because I know next week is a taper and then I can relax before re-testing.
