[QUOTE=“TreatyStones, post: 939597, member: 1786”]If it’s any consolation to you I breezed through my first back from injury last night.
All the bike & gym work I did has seen me return in reasonably decent shape.[/QUOTE]
Delighted for you, pal. I had a chest infection which had kept me out for the bones of a month so it is nice to be back in the swing of things
@chewy louie - I suggest gait analysis and an hour on the foam roller and you’ll be fine for the weekend.
I’m just going to 9 or 10 pints of Becks tonight. Should work just as well

Great news-your missus is obviously taking good care of your balls while she is minding them for you.
That makes no sense.
Seems like horsebox heard someone use that put down once, and it must have gotten a good reaction.
Unfortunately he doesn’t seem to grasp the context of when to use it.

Context is everything

You’re coming back from a groin injury and your missus booses you around…ah forget it. Weak enough alright.
I am one off beating a long standing record down the boxing gym. Going back next Monday night determined to beat the record.
The drill is as follows - 30 seconds
A cone is placed in the centre of the ring, standing start against the ropes. Have to get low and touch the cone with your hand, then the corner post, cone - the next corner post, cone - corner post and so on in a clockwise fashion. Managed 18 on Monday night and the record stands at 19.

Is it within a time frame or just until you drop?
30 seconds.
Thats sounds savage chewy…
I am box jumping at 45 inches these nights, 5 x 10… (standing start)
Looking at lads here on youtube jumping 60 plus inches… animals.

careful with those - worth trying now and then to test yourself but you risk injury especially once reps creep up and fatigue becomes a factor
go lower and/or step down to reduce chances of injury
lots of crossfit boards/blogs reckon they are a great way to rupture your achilles

They are pretty explosive alright and I tend to leave them till the middle of a session when I’d be well warmed up. Mostly they be mixed into the middle of a session but maybe once a week i’d do a 5 x 10 with a break in between.
@caoimhaoin will be better placed to advise you on them but I have read a few anecdotes about them being risky/causing injury especially in high volume
Ya, you have to be strong first. Start with hops an learn good landing mechanics. I’d say squatting your own BW 3-5 times is a pre-requisite. Also step ups should be part of your program as well. After a good warm up (possibly using some of the above) you should do any high level plyo’s at the start of a session. Never be anyway fatigued.
Good stuff. I’m squatting 1.1 of body weight x 5 at the minute so grand in that regard. Interesting that these should be done early in the session when fresh… makes sense I suppose.

crossfit is the best way to train
you could also do alternate sets of these and a 30m push on the prowler KP…the last set will be murder
Never mind that get back to squatting calves out of ditches.
