Okay, so, for the broad jumps, I wasn't measuring, but eyeballing and also measuring by my feet and dividing by 12 for the approximate inches/feet. Seven feet, roughly, is a lot longer than you think it is. But the real pain of today was the high-rep squats. I swear to God, it was torturous. The first fifteen weren't so bad, but after the second set, I just felt like I was near to puking already. It really reminded me of when I first started strength training, and how I would get in the car and just need to sit there for 20 minutes to make sure I didn't puke on the way home. It's something I am completely NOT used to, and understanding how quickly my quads got gassed out on Friday... I know I need to get better at this. The last set was done at a deload because I'm pretty sure I would've puked otherwise. And I skipped unilateral for the same reason.
