Breakfast today was biscuits and gravy, 2 pancakes, a piece of bacon and water

Gym Workout-

all 1 leg exercises are done on each leg-- ie  3 x 10 means 3 sets of 10 reps on EACH leg
  1. 5 min light spin
  2. 3 x 10 1 leg squats 40lb
  3. 3 x 10 1 leg box deep squats 40lb - see photo above
  4. 3 x 10 1 leg step ups - no push off bottom 40lb
  5. 4 x 20 sec 1 leg squat hold, switch legs, repeat
  6. 2 x 10x5 sec 1 leg squat, explode up
  7. 2 x 40ft baby steps 40lb
  8. 3 x 10 1 leg box steps from side - no push
  9. 3 x 10 1 leg explodes off bottom- no push, pause between each
  10. 2 x 10 1 leg balance squats on straight curl bar
Right after my workout i had a muscle milk - protein replacement
    I'm trying to group my workouts into specific types: a. single leg squat, b. single leg jump, c. normal squat & normal jump (i combine these because normal is much easier), and d. max effort jump (i do these by themselves because i want to avoid any kind of fatigue- achieving my max or as close to it each time i jump)


    skating is all about balance and explosion off of one leg at a time, this is why i stopped mixing normal and single leg squats- really the only time i do normal style any more is to target my butt and hamstrings. Personally i am dominant on the left leg, my right needs to get stronger, single leg squats and single leg jumps will help tremendously with this.
