Hooked on speed

On Saturday Tyler and I got together for my speed lower body day. We cranked off some light, fast cleans at 5 sets of 5 alternating fast. As soon as the bar touched the ground at the end of a set, the other guy jumped right in. Same thing with speed squats to the 12 inch box which we hit for 9 sets of 2. Because of our differences in height, I'd argue (and Tyler has to agree) that I did double the work that he did!
Afterwards we did some drop jumps off our medium box. By the end both of us were inadvertently showing off perfect star jumps that would make any junior gymnast jealous.

This week Chris went into his shop in the back room and made us a new toy. Any time Chris builds something new our clients know they better watch out! (push/pull box, wall ball target) The Slosh Pipe is no exception. Basically it's an eight foot section of 6 inch PVC pipe, capped at both ends and filled half way with water. It only weighs 30 pounds but is impossible to hold still! Tyler and I played around with it for about 20 minutes trying to find the hardest ab/low back exercises possible. I think we came up with a few great ones. After some twisting toe touches my obliques came out to say hello with some wicked spasms...good times!

Today (Sunday) is a rest day which I've taken literally by laying on the couch and watching football. I'll play some pickup hockey tonight, then it's back to work tomorrow. Can't wait to see what's in store for me!
