Today was by far the most beautiful day we have had so far this season!! It felt like spring should in VA!! The whole reason I came down here! It was in the mid to upper 60s with a slight breeze, which was conveniently a tail wind! Today was a jump day. We started out with ground jumping. It is a great drill but I get nervous about going to high just because of the landing. Then went to the pit and did 0s 1s 2s, spent a lot of time at 3s, where I got some good work done on my plant and jump at take off. Then moved back to a 4 where I was able to feel the entire top end of the jump. Coach Wingard was excited I was able to do a full turn with out consciously trying to, the jumps were just good enough that it happened. Then moved back to a 5 step for several more good jumps. On my last one I managed to nail my wrist really well, it swelled up immediately. Coach then decided I should just finish up with a few full runs to get my step down. I was way back and running well which is a good thing.
Then, iced the wrist and headed in side for lifting. Front squats first, managed 5 at 160lbs which raises my max by 10 lbs to 180. Then to hang cleans which also improved, 5 at 105lbs to increase my previous max by 13 lbs to 118 lbs. Finally I made up the bench testing I missed yesterday. I was a little disappointed because I was certain I would be able to rep more than 135 lbs at least a few times since I did sets with 135 a few weeks ago, but for some reason my arms did not have it and I only managed a sloppy 135lbs 4 times. This did increase my max though by 5 lbs to 147 lbs.
