Reunited with the standing triple jump


I'm off today but this is what I did yesterday:  

SERIES 1
back squat: 70% x 6 x 2; rest 3-4 minutes (slow down, explode up)
+
airdyne - 4-6 minutes easy
+
standing triple jump: 6 attempts x 3 sets; rest 3 minutes
+
sled sprint: 4 pillar - as fast as possible; rest 2-3 minutes
+
3 sets:
12 glute ham raise
15 ghd sit-up
rest 2 minutes

The back squats were at 83kg and felt better in the second set than the first where I felt pretty slow exploding out of the bottom of the squat.  

The standing triple jump was...interesting.  Although I've been doing a lot of jumping work and bounding and working on explosiveness, this is the first time I've tried the STJ since the OPTathalon in October.  I somehow managed 25' then whereas today the best I was getting was 22'.  The first two jumps felt great but I felt less explosive on the third and final jump.  

I used 90lbs + the sled for the sled sprints.  Doing these inside on the mats at the gym is like trying to sprint through quicksand.  I moved as fast as I could but it was still probably pretty slow.  Justin keeps telling me that intent is key so we'll just go with that...I was trying to run fast...
