222!!!

Today we got back to normal and had a monday jump day.  We focused on some ground jumping then did a lot of short approach work.  It was nice to just focus on some aspects of the take off from a three step today.  I really had some great jumps today so I hope this can continue.  Also, it was nice to welcome Amanda to the pole vault team for real today!! I hope she does awesome! It was a great day and a beautiful day to practice, a little windy though.
Then we went to the weight room to max for the first time in a long time.  I was pretty certain my maxs had gone up based on the way i have been lifting lately but it was nice to find some actual numbers.  To day we did back squats and full cleans.  My goal for the year was to squat over 200 pounds ( last time my max was 191)  Today I was able to rep 185 lbs 7 times which equaled a single rep max of about 220 lbs! way over the goal!  Then we moved to full cleans, I still have not fully figured cleans out and feel like I should be able to lift more than I do.   Today I managed 110 lbs 5 time which was my previous single rep max.  This is the equivalent of about 124 lbs.  So not too bad for me.  Finished practice with a modified version of 2 min abs.  I am definitely pleased and look forward to seeing how I do for the rest of the week.

On a much sadder note we had our good bye party for Patty tonight it was a nice party and a lot of people made it.  This team is definitely going to miss her!!!!!!!!!
