    Vert Test – 57cm/22.4″
    Floor to Ceiling Jumps – 3 x 8
    Hex Bar Squat Jumps – 3 x 8 x 45kg
    Speed Squat – 5 x 2 x 75kg (45 secs)
    1/2 Back Squat – 3,3 x 125kg, 3 x 130kg, 1 x 135kg, 1 x 130kg
    RDL – 5 x 3 x 100kg

    I had to wear an ankle strap and it was pissing it down with rain so my vert test wasn’t too enthusiastic. Still I think it’s reflective of how I feel relative to last week, legs are a bit heavy. I stuck my barbell inside the rack so I could use the safety bars, meaning I tried to go heavier on squats and failed a double at 135kg. Squatting to 90 degree knee bend feels so unstable and I really dislike it, shallower or deeper would be fine but there’s something about changing direction at that position that feels horrible.
