After some serious paintball sessions last week I couldn't follow the program with the exercises of day 4. I was way too sore and exhausted the day after. And then I headed off to a friend's summer cottage for four days. So, now I am picking up where I was left, which is the second set of exercises in the training regime.
It was very heavy. I tried to do all the sets according to the principals laid out in the Jump Manual. The intensity and especially the 'burnout' sets were a killer. I could barely walk after the first few exercises. Unfortunately the gym closed up a bit earlier today (summer schedule) so I could only finish 4/6 exercises but I did my best with those!
On friday I'll continue with the next set of excercises. I'm thinking about posting my gains every time I have finished the two week rotation in the program, whether it takes two or three weeks. This way I've done all the work needed to see the gain and if everything I'll notice better results having rested a bit more.
Holler!

Vertical Jump Test, day 2!
Yay, it's my first blog post ever! :-)
I began a 12 week program called The Jump Manual by Jacob Hiller on Sunday the 17th of July. The first workout felt good and I am very enthusiastic about the whole thing! I am hoping to see some major improvements in my vertical jump and quickness when the basketball season starts in October.
Here's a quick link for my day 2 vertical jump test video I shot with a colleague from work after our work day. The base is set and now it's all about tracking my progress! There is definately room for improvement and major gains. I am going to do the workout diligently and I trust it will yield good results. It's not a matter of hope, but hard work. After all, it's all about the laws of physics, if you like. Hope doesn't fit into this equation.
Without further ado, here we go!
Test results:
Standing vertical: 24 inches
One step vertical: 26 inches
Running vertical (left): 26 inches
Running vertical (right) 27 inches
