Too bored to go to the gym. Havent lifted for 3 months now and im terribly bored of the initial soreness, you know what i mean.
Anyway , i do what i can at home, here's yesterdays workout:

Bilateral line hops 2x10sec back-forth , 2x10 side ( got 30+-2 one every set ).
4x6 depth drops from 1m (40'' ).
4x8 single leg BW squats ( 8 reps each leg per set ).
3x15 single leg BW standing calf raises.
4x12 feet elevated pushups.

adarqui:
damn.. why havn't you lifted for 3 months??? if you are at 33.5" now, you should respond well when getting back into lifting.

4x6 depth drops from 40" is hardcore..

awesome that you started a journal..

i didnt lift coz i didnt feel like lifting in the summer! its way too hot here at summers even strong ACs aint enough.
also i came out of a serious ankle sprain so i wanted to focus more on getting the jump feeling back.
i kept doing a routine like the above every 4 days or at least once a week.

the depth drops felt surprisingly fine , heels havent touched the ground in any of them, if form breaks down ill reduce the height.
