Q 8/21/11 WSFSB Jump day

Vertical jumps with 3 steps: 5 x3
Grabbed hoop most of the time.

Standing vertical jump: 4 x4
Touched rim most of the time and almost grabbed once.

Depth jumps: 5 x3
Lowered the box. The jumps felt significantly more reactive than before; ground contact time was reduced. I was going about 5 inches higher than my standing verticals the first set, but height was decreased significantly by the 3rd set. This exercise should probably be done first when you are completely fresh for low sets/reps.

Pistol squats: +24lb x8 x3

Swiss ball crunches: +15lb x10 x3

Good mornings: 135lb x8 x3

Feels weird to not do any of the big 3, but I think a day like this is necessary for better vertical jumps.
