Pleasantly surprised by my CMJ, not far off my PB now (63cm?). I’m also aware of the rough rule that your running vert should be 5+ inches more than standing, so I’m keen to test my running vert soon.
21 Jan
OFF – Moving house and while I had time at the end of the day to squeeze in a session, I felt the quality would be poor.
23 Jan
CMJ – 6 jumps, best of 59cm
Patrick Step Up – 2 x 15 x 45kg
Power Cleans (doubles) – 2 x 60,60,65,70,75kg
BB KoT Lunge – 3 x 10 x 35kg
Band Assisted Nordic Curls – 3 x 7
Achilles Spring Combo – 2 x 35 secs, 7 reps
My power clean technique is still a work in progress, but if I don’t use enough weight I end up upright rowing it. Nice to see my CMJ stayed slightly above my previous weeks. I took an extra day before completing this because moving house took more out of me than I thought and I was aching in a few places.

7 stretches from Becoming a Supple Leopard
So that’s the end of my first 4 week cycle, I’ve sat down and looked at what I want to add/remove for the next four weeks and I’m happy with what I have. I could obsessively pick over each exercise or try and fit everything in but I wanted to avoid overthinking and stick with what first comes to mind.
Here’s my slightly improved power cleans with a hook grip
