Oh, the horror and tragedy! I deprived The Movement Program from one day of looking at themselves in pictures! Can you imagine the wailing and grinding of teeth? I shall be damned for eternity to Dante’s Eighth Circle of Hell for my fraud and treachery…I’ll just keep reading Louis Simmon’s Westside Barbell Book of Methods or Supertraining by Yuri Verkhoshansky and Mel Siff to keep me busy.
"Hell? At least they don't have to do burpees, Virgil."
Now, on with the show!
Today we worked on finding how high we could jump, as we tested max height box jumps. Box jumps for max height really help develop not only explosive power, but also address glaring deficiencies in the hip and hamstring. Want to jump higher? Increase your range of motion; if you can’t get your knees high enough you will never get on top of that box!
After the max height box jumps we hit 5 rounds for time of push press, box jumps, and kb swings. It’s good to be back people. We got more fun in store for tomorrow!
Ice your nasty bits and get to sleep on time!
