Today was... alright I suppose. I was hoping to be able to work on cycling during the hop phase but as soon as I moved passed five steps I seemed to lose all kinetic awareness. This has been an ongoing issue and I'm not completely sure how to fix it. Repetition may only bring technical flaws into the forefronts of my brain, encoding them even deeper into my muscle memory...
   On another note weights went pretty well, two pb's:

Five step hops x2

I feel well rested and am excited to jump tomorrow. My hamstring that has been a nuisance seems to been almost healed. I have come to accept that it will be a lingering issue but I just want to keep it under control. I took today off completely minus some light stretching this morning.
Today was another quick one, in and out in about an hour and a half. Tomorrow is a rest day then Sunday is a technical day--I'm really excited to jump fully rested!

Today went really well, I felt re-energized and definitely had more power than I had last Thursday. I put 7 more pounds on my clean and all the plyos felt great! My hamstring is still a little sore but it's not too bad.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

Warm-up
Triple stair jumps x6
Shock jumps 2x5
Bounds 3x6
LLRLR x3
Hurdle hops 3x8
Weights--
Power cleans 1x3@227lb's, 1x3@232lb's, 1x3@237lb's
Pull-up's 3x5@30lb's
Rows 3x5@60lb's
Back extensions 3x5@100lb's

Today was another recovery day, the workout was just 2x2x200m. Although the volume was significantly less today I think I went out a little faster than I normally would so it felt just as hard as always. Besides the pain in my right hamstring that has been bothering me (slightly) since September I feel pretty good overall.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

Warm-up
2x2x200m, 90s rest, 4 min between sets
Static stretching

Today was a VERY QUICK workout, probably the quickest all year. All it was, was a couple acels and weights. My hamstrings felt a little sore but they started to get better as I went. My energy level is still don't so I dropped the weight while squatting and focused on depth.

TODAY'S WORKOUT

Warm-up
Accelerations 5x30m
Weights--
Squats 3x5@290lb's
Glute-ham raises 3x5

I'm definitely sore but I'm not really sure where. My hamstrings feel tight and I feel like they may hurt a little bit during tomorrow's speed workout. Besides that my lower back is stiff from yesterday's reverse hyper's and my energy level is down low.

TODAY'S WORKOUT
Warm-up
45 minute hurdle mobility
Core circuit--
135 degree pike 3x10
Oblique pull's 3x10@60lb's
