The beginning of spring break means I get to go to the gym every day 
Light workout yesterday -
stretches
3x8 135lb Bench
5x12 160lb sitting calf raises - my calves didn't seize up, but the sides of my hips did - what does this mean??
3x8 - each side, 40lb dumbbell curls
3x8 - each side, 110lb lunges
3x20 dips
plank, 3 mins

Really wanted to try free squat but some guy was hogging the machine
we waited 20 mins for him to finish and then left

Planning a more intense workout today!
Plan to do - Ham Curls, Free Squat, Lunges, Cleans, Curls, Bench, Lat Pulldowns, Weighted core exercises, tricep machine, forearm dumbbell lifts
Alternative - Reverse hyper, static core exercises, 1 legged squat, triple jumps, hip flexor exercise
Might also do some plyo's

Just measured my jump, i'm jumping a horrific 27"  ?? It could have something to do with not going to the gym in the past week or two, so my legs might be tired today. My goal is to get my jump up to par and PR at 35" by the end of spring break (04/08)
Any advice? Anything I should add? Anything to keep my jumps in a more consistent range??

Track meet was mediocre
It was both windy and cold
Faulted twice on Long Jump (I stepped off the side after the jump instead of walking through) and got 17' the third time. I'm not very sad about my long jump - It was the first time I had jumped in a sand pit in about 5 years. I really hope to get 20' plus before the season is through
I jumped 5' 2" on the high jump - I was very disappointed especially since I felt like I could have done so much better - I missed the whole warm up, and I could have probably cleared 5' 6" If the level of my technique was on par with my vert. I hope for a 6' clearance by the end of the season.
I also ran the 4*4 with a time of 57 secs. Honestly I have no clue why coach put me in the 4*4 since my biggest running strength is my sprint. I had a bad start, and was stuck behind these two guys on the second curve of the 400 meter track. I look forward to a time closer to 50 secs at the end of the season.

Considering I'm just starting up, I am relatively satisfied with my results.
I wanted to go to the gym today, but my partner was really tired (after the meet) and insisted we go tomorrow. :/

3/20/13 - Ran 6 150's today. Recovering from back and calf strains, so taking it easy going to the gym. Might go during weekend. First track meet EVER on Saturday (3/23/13)!
Event statistics to be announced!

Hey guys. I'm Max - 6'3", 165lbs, 17yrs old
My current peak vert (running, off of 2 legs) is at 34" (standing reach is 8'.5")

My goals that I wish to discuss in this forum mostly involve jumping.. I want to improve my pitiful 1-foot jump, Improve my balance, Improve my 2 foot jump, Improve my form for all sorts of lifting, and improve the amount of weight i'm lifting 

About 2 weeks ago, my peak dropped 6 inches. This is because I started running track. Right now it's back to about 30.5", but only because I missed practice today (because of a dentist appointment) and got a small break. Track has caused a number of problems I will briefly address. First of all, I'm feeling calf pain for the first time. I went to the gym yesterday and could barely do a single sitting calf raise with half of my max. I don't know to0 much about injuries, but I think this is a strain. My calf area hurts when I stand on my toes and bend my knees. The second problem occurred a couple time after practice - my thighs swelled to the point that they touched when I walked. The last track-related problem is my vert drop

I have also had a back problem for about 3 weeks. It started when I used the lower back machine to lift a lot of weight. The very next workout, I could not even do 1 rep of half that weight. My back hurts when I round it, but it doesn't hurt very much when I do any sort of back stretch.

The last problem I would like to address is my squat. I lose my balance extremely easily when squatting weight as low as 150lbs. I have resorted to leg press, but would like to do squats. I will post a video of a squat when my back and calves feel better.

Any other information I should share?
