Legs 4-1-12

My hip is still bothering me, so I was going to try to take it easy....and then I realized that for me, there is no "taking it easy"! When I'm at the gym it's hard for me not to have the mindset of "go hard or go home."  So I'll be taking a week off from heavy lifting this week, with a lot of walking, stretching, foam rolling, and some light weights.

1) 22"inch box jumps(wish I had a higher box to jump on): 10-8-6

*A few sets of light RDLs and leg extensions*
2)Squats:
Warmup sets then, 155x4-165x4-165x4-135x8 (using a narrower stance than normal)

3a)Step ups:
60x10-60x10/One set of bulgarian split squats x15 each leg

3b)Standing calf raises
3 sets of 15

Tabatas:
Alternating between squat thrusts and double unders
