Well, that was a lot. My adductor was 90+% but I held back slightly, I really like the block step exercise because I can see so much room for improvement in the technique he recommends compared to what I do currently. I like the hang pull too, I didn’t bother with a high pull because I’ve never done them before whereas I’ve done years of hang power cleans so a hang pull is comfortable. I did feel a twinge on the back of my knee doing the sets of several minutes jumping at the end.
10 Jun
Foam Roll, 11 stretches, 4 Core Exercises, 1 Foot Conditioning Drill
I’ve revisited earlier phases to stay on top of my stretching, I also intend to do the optional third session a week of this.

Long jumping was much better this time. A few drills could have done with a hurdle so I’ve made one and will be using it next week.

Running – 1.25 miles in 8:30/mi pace
I really neglect my cardio so I put in a token 10-12 minute run this week and I want to keep doing it.

Great session, I feel 100% and I smashed through it. Hang pulls are a touch light so I added another 2.5kg, maybe 75kg is still better. The same with the split stance squat, I had a few reps where I left the ground and that doesn’t help my knees when I land again. I bloody love this workout, I’d do that year round if I could.
Here is SL Bound to SL Vert, I put a piece of table to jump over. I measured the distance from the cone to the base and then I measured the height of it, which is the two numbers in brackets (2.5m, 60cm). I will look to push myself and extend those numbers across the coming weeks.
