Today was pretty relaxed, just a quick core circuit and some upper body work that I was supposed to finish on Thursday. My ankle is really sore so hopefully having today and tomorrow off my feet will help it.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

4x6x10 Ab circuit
Dumbbell bench press 4x5@50lb's
Chin up's 4x5@body weight+15lb's (~183lb's)

My chest is surprisingly sore from the bench press yesterday, I guess because it has been so long since I have done it. My abs are a little sore too, but in a good way--just enough to remind me that I did do a circuit yesterday. My ankle is also very sore.

TODAY'S WORKOUT
Off day

Sunday May 1 2011

Unfortunately the first day of May did not bring warm weather, it was about ten degrees Celsius and felt even colder. The wind didn't help either, especially considering I had to jump DIRECTLY INTO IT. After warming up I did a set of six runways and I had to move my mark up almost three meters, the wind was so strong. Needless to say they didn't feel overly quick. Nevertheless when I moved up to short approach jumps (eight steps) I managed to jump 12.50m, which I was happy with considering that the wind was probably ~-3.00m/s and I didn't feel overly energetic.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

Warm-up
Runways 2x3 (with a hop on second set)
5 Eight-step triple jumps (farthest ~12.50m)
Weights--
8x2 Jump squats@155lb's
3x5 Straight-legged deadlifts
