True. The
old, old bag went up to 160. She was much harder to handle than a sandbag..

Good luck finding a workout you like. I'm happy to be told what to do these days. Just kill me and I'll smile and thank you when you're done -- ya know?
Enjoy the kids for the weekend and good call with trying to keep things non-obsessive around them. BTDT and you don't realize just how much they pick up on.

Thanks, Brenda. I've been reading a bunch of articles on increasing vertical leap. Most have a strength focus, so hopefully stronger and higher!
Here's today's workout. It's from Ross Enamait's forum. The workout of the week.
WOW #21
As prescribed
Quote:
20x Db Swing
20x Push up
50x Rope Turns
20x med Ball Slams
1min Sprint cycle on stationary bike
If no bike, i would sub the skipping for 30 Jumping jacks and the bike would then be 1min sprint skip
Repeat x5

I have no bike and don't like to use a timer for the rope, since it's on my wrist and doesn't beep, so this is how I did mine.
20x Db Swing (60lbs)
20x Push up
30x Jumping Jacks
20x Med Ball Slams
120x Rope Turns (I don't have a timer and can't keep looking my watch, so I went to 120 turns, instead)
Repeat x5
It took me just over 25 minutes to complete. I had no choice but to rest afterward.
This was a great workout. I was feeling my weakness in pushups. Hopefully, in a few more weeks, I'll be able to knock out 20 straight, each round. Right now, rounds 2-5 require dropping to the knees after 10-15 pushups. I'd rather keep going then rest up just to get a full pushup in.
After that, I rested up, packed some more sand into the sandbag and did 5 60 yard carries. 30 yards there and back. Drop and rest when needed. It took me 8 lifts to make the five trips. 5 would have been perfect, since I rest each time back.
I didn't weight the bag until I was done. It weighed 160lbs. Which is a total coincidence...
Stretching! Yes. I'm doing it daily!
That's that. Hopefully, I'll have my vertical leap plan planned out by tomorrow. I want to squat!
