Whatever-I-bloody-feel-like day

Today was a bit of a mish-mash day, just because I did stuff I felt like doing without any concern about overall programming. I just wanted to have some fun.

Box jumps for height:
5 @ 22 (9 risers + step)
5 @ 24 (10)
5 @ 26 (11)
5 @ 28 (12)
5 @ 30 (13)
4 @ 32 (14)

I only managed 4 jumps at 32", which pissed me off! It was only my mind that stopped me from completing all 5 reps; after all, if I can do 4, that proves I can make the jump. Eric - helpful as ever - said: "You'll be fine, as long as you don't fall". Thanks. :-)

On the positive side, my previous highest box jumps were at 30", so at least the overall height improved.

Grace: 30 power clean and press @ 100
Time = 5:49

When I did Grace in July, I finished in 8:04. In August, I knocked 1:04 off that PR and had a time of exactly 7:00. Today my improvement was even better, taking a further 1:11 off my PR. Ok, today I did Grace near the start of my workout whereas previously it was near the end, but I'm still pleased with being 2:15 quicker in less than 3 months. Further proof that my mind can play tricks on me: while I was doing this I was convinced I was slower than last time.
