Uh, yeah. You have been away for a while I seem to recall.

122 cm then, whatever. Even the boxes themselves use inches, I think it is fairly universal, but not sure. About the middle of my chest, so just over your kneecap or something.
That is indeed impressively high. Although depending on the goal I’m hesitant to rely on total box height as the only outcome measure.

The goal in this case is simply athleticism and all that entails, so this is a reasonable measure (Jim says so, too). I should probably doing broad jumps again as well, been a while.
Well if Jim says so, hehe.
Nah I was referring to the position on is landing in. There is a highly plausible argument for the knee and hip angle over the box height. Doesn’t make the other measurement irrelevant or less of an argument but both should be in the scope

Well, if people have better hips, they are going to jump higher. They will also jump higher being taller.
Today a bit of shoulder work. I have become hilariously weak with the DBs all of a sudden, holy crap. Did a good bit of work on the heavy bag at the end, have a lot of piled up aggression to get rid of.

Did some really shitty jumping work yesterday, and some quick bulgarians. Was distracted and tired as hell, so barely worth logging.

But you still did something, well done.

Feeling a bit better today, and energy level good. One odd thing about losing this weight is that my elbow problems have almost completely disappeared. Probably a few different things going on there, but I will take it.
A relative shitton of pullups today. It has always been a strange fact that losing a lot of bodyweight has almost zero effect on my upper body pulling strength.

Kinda random day today. Was gonna jump, but the cross area was busy with a class. So I did some easy squatting and some other crap. Obviously lost a ton of strength, but I don’t currently give a crap. Made sure just to go deep. Didn’t feel like jumps afterwards, so just messed around.

Some shoulders and other messing around. My top-end strength has fallen off a cliff to be sure, but was able to do a lot of HSPUs to finish things off. Box jumps in a strange spot, the power to weight ratio in my legs is kind of receding or something.

I thought I was the one who was upside down. 20 reps ? Did you turn off gravity ?

I mean, I weigh less so they get pretty easy. The difficulty was that I was already weary.

Just messed around today. Too arm weary from to really do any better than this. Did a bunch of triceps work and some curls at the end, but did not log the numbers.

Some of this, some of that. This is how I roll these days, just do whatever. My confidence on the jumps has been low the last couple weeks, but pulled my shit together and hit 47 inches today.
All the jumping has made working in Bulgarians easier than normal. Not doing a ton, but it has not been very difficult either.

Boobies day, more flat bench. Slowly getting better, but still sad. On the other hand, dips are super easy at this BW, might have to doing them weighted if my joints can handle it.
