Spring is officially here and that means training will soon be moved outdoors! Finally no more Dalplex, no more shinsplints and a pit to jump in. Tomorrow I may do a couple short approach jumps to work on a dynamic hop phase focusing on the arm drive and keeping my hips forward. Maybe 6 five step jumps--that is depending on how my legs feel in the morning. I was incredibly sore this evening, it was definitely one of the hardest workouts I have done in a while. On a day where my hamstrings were already sore from Sunday's stiff-legged deadlifts and my quads were sore from last Thursday's plyo workout, I did a total of 140 touches as well as a general fitness circuit (ab's push-up's burpees, ect.). Perhaps I should have called it quits there but I opted to continue on through the weights. I set the bar up at 170lb's for a warmup and it felt heavy, much heavier than pretty much half my 1RM should feel. I went as high as 250lb's for the first two sets for five reps and than cut it back to 227lb's. My quads were killing on the way down and I started to feel like I was sacrificing depth at the bottom for weight. This season I want to focus more on depth than weight, I think today was a good intro to that.
