    First day was a rest, then into the six week “Shock” phase. One new exercise is split jumps, again i’ve done these many times before. I felt good but not great on the re-test day, I did expect to go higher but didn’t have an idea by how much. The 16th was the first day I felt crap, quite flat in my jumps but I blame my 2am finish at work and insufficient sleep. Today was an ab circuit and I did extra stretching too.

    Here’s a snapshot of my latest vert, roughly half a brick higher than last week.
