Workout 2:

Calf raises, 2 up 1 down
SL calf raise ISO, 50 lbs x 40 sec with slow eccentric on last rep
Rhythm squats, 135 x 36
ATG ankle exercise

Shoulder dislocates, 2.5 lbs
Face pulls, 2 black bands
Lateral raise with 5 sec hold at top, 5 lbs
Incline db curl, 10 lbs

Ankle flossing

Only did 1 set of each exercise.  Most of them I didn't count reps, kept weight light enough that I could go high reps and went to fatigue.  Lower legs felt awesome after this, shoulders too.  Perfect extra workout to help with recovery/work capacity/tendon health/etc

Workout:

A1.  Pigeon pose, 3 x 60 sec
A2.  Weighted butterfly, 3 x 10 + 30 sec stretch on last rep (10,20,20)
A3.  Jefferson curl, 3 x 10 + 30 sec stretch on last rep (45,45,45)
A4.  Garhammer raise, x 6,6,6
A5.  Split squat, 3 x 10 + 30 sec stretch on last rep (6 in box, 40lbs x 10,10,10). 
A6.  QL, 3 x 15 (20,20,20)

Was able to complete all reps, but only able to hold split squat stretch for 15 secs on last rep.  Ankle and hip flexor mobility need some work.  Used a 6 inch box on split squats so I could try to keep my back leg off ground and get my front hamstring over my calf.
Good work today, felt great after.

A1.  Was supposed to be reverse sled x 100 meters, but it stormed outside last night, so did squatted backwards walk instead x 1 min (3 sets)
A2.  KOT squat, 10 in box x 10, 8 in box x 10, 6 in box x 10
A3.  Couch stretch.  Right ankle bothers me when put up against the wall for the stretch, so I held it with my hand instead
A4.  Nordics, 12 in box x 5, 10 in box x 5, 8 in box x 5
A5.  SL calf raise, BW x 9,7,6, holding at top and bottom for a count of 1, then hold in bottom position for 30 secs on last rep
A6.  Tib raise, x 18,17,16

ATG ankle exercise after

Knees feel strong, hamstrings are getting there. 
It seems my main weakness that I need to focus on is calf/ankle strength.  Was doing some running around with my son yesterday, and could feel the force going through my achilles. 
If I have time for a second workout I will probably add in some extra calf raises, jump rope, ankle hops, etc

Adarq.....I know you did a block of working on ankle stiffness a long time ago....any ideas to help bring that up to speed?

how were the jumps after some time off?

also do you have any future dates that you're trying to hit/get close to some specific numbers?

pc!

The jumps were...awkward, I guess would be the best word for it.  Haven't max effort jumped in a while.  Felt better the more I did, like I was getting into a groove.
Nothing specific right now....I'm just shy of touching rim.  Goals are touch rim, grab rim with 1 hand, grab with 2 hands...etc.  Just trying to put the work in to get there.

Haven't logged much this week at all, nothing much going on.  Think I did two short ISO sessions this week, but work has kept me busy and haven't felt like getting up early to workout or to get it in when I get home.
Should get much better from here though.

Workout:

Warm-up with marches, high knees, skips, etc...forward and backward

Double leg jumps x30.  Did 2 R-L plants for every 1 L-R plant jump to balance my jumping out.  Rest 30-60 seconds between jumps.

Finished with:
Reverse step-ups
ATG ankle exercise
Ankle flossing

Just looked at the workouts for this week.  I see they add in extra shoulder stuff already as an option, so will stick with that and Iso's

Keep us posted on the new workout.
I'm doing my own thing right now, but have that same workout on the app.
Trying to keep my ankles, knees and shoulders healthy and get a little more jumping in right now.

I will do. I'm dipping my toe in on the workouts this week and will hit them fresh next week once I get my head aropund everything.

Also, if you don't mind me asking, why are you doing your own thing? From what I can see the anti gravity program has pretty much everything you've just described.

I tend to get a workout ADD, plus I need some extra ankle and shoulder work right now.  I think you're right though.  Probably start the ATG workout next week and follow that for 12 weeks or so, adding in my Iso's and extra ankle and shoulder stuff along the way

There's lots of good info out there on the benefits of iso's.  I'm incorporating them right now, but more in the Jay Schroeder model. 

Check out Keith Baar when you have time.  There are a couple of podcasts or videos he's done where he talks about the benefits of iso's on tendon rehab/strength etc... pretty interesting stuff

Workout 2:

Warmup with ankle bounces, front and backwards marching, skipping, statue of liberties, shoulder circles, lateral pulses.

Single leg max jumps from 3 steps, 2x3 each side
Front and lateral drop and catch x 20 each
1 step double leg max jumps, 1x3 each side
Bent over lateral and row drop and catch, x20 each
Hi-lo pogo jumps, 2x10
Plyo push-ups, 2x8
Speed lunges, 2x10 (5 each leg)
Standing band plyo press, 2x8

Would’ve done a few fly sprints instead of the speed lunges but rain cancelled this out.  Good session though.  Felt good throughout and when I was done.
