why are you cutting weight?

to jump high, I will jump at least 1-3 inches higher and be a better athlete if i am very low in bodyfat, only drawback I can see is less leverage, and more chance of injury.

40yrd dash
for three heading into wind for 5.3 on all, I beleve I am losing ALOT of time on horrible starting position and just being super un-comfortable with my start, need to work felxibilty a lot more especially If I want the all time vert record for school which I am only like 2" away.

not bad today, woke up had eggs and broccli and then some protein. some more post-workout carbs and more protein. Gonna try to go through the rest of the day on almost no carbs unless I do some upper body workout with weights, just because I feel good to do it today.

monday: at gym class
cleans up to 230x4 or 5 hook grip, so strong, definatley feel a 300+ clean for when we max.
these bars at school are so much better for cleans than the ones at my house, plus you can drop the bar at any time because the weights are bumpers.

Tuesday: at gym
Started with doing some core exercise lying on the floor then went to behind the neck push presses up to 250 for 3 or 4. I feel real comfortable doing these with bumpers hopefully we will max on these someday, such a fun exercise when you don't have to worry about dropping it.

Bodyweight is 203 -/+ stopped taking creatine because I think it may add some subcanteous (sp) water.

this morning in gym we just did some agility work.

afternoon:
axle clean and press-1 clean
up to 240x2-form break down, just did not do a good warm-up
then
190x5
190x5
190x5-form was great.
bench
up to 225x8-not a 100% effort.

over, bodyfat is decreasing, which is good maybe a slight strength loss, but maybe just a tiny bit of a bad day...
