Under a Gibbous Moon

Tonight was a little lower body speed work. That typically involves some sort of dynamic effort squat or deadlift, but not tonight. At first I was thinking of doing some power cleans. That’s a good movement that requires a lot of speed to do right. I pulled one at 225 lbs and my aforementioned shoulder that feels like a smashed bag of assholes still hurt. So instead I did seated box jumps

Seated box jumps are exactly what they sound like. I am seated on a bench that is about 16 inches tall. From a seated position I jump onto a wooden box of varying height.

10 jumps on 27 inch box x 3
8 jumps on 34 inch box x 2
6 jumps on 36 inch box
6 jumps on 38 inch box x 2

Not a lot of stuff and I took about an hour. Way too long with too much rest in between sets but I was talking too much. The jumping is a lot more challenging as it sounds and I am not good at jumping.
