Stretching should be after your warmup and before your workout, and should be dynamic, not static.

I'd also suggest throwing some squats into your warmups, or possibly swapping it all out for 20 or so burpees.


On to the workout... What are your goals? It's hard to give advice if we dont know what you are looking for.

Calf jumpers are... inefficient at best. Swap them out for something like squats or more box jumps.


Also dont know what you are expecting from dumbell throws

Make a list of goals, then we will be able to help you out better.

Dynamic Stretching?

Aha, Burpees I had forgotten about those. Def. gonna implement.

How are calf jumpers inefficient?

Dumbell throws are just there to well work out my arms. I am not really talking about actually throwing my dumbells for distance, but throwing them up with one arm, catching with the other and then throwing it up again. And repeat...

O yes, goals I had forgotten to post them.

To show you why they are somewhat pointless, do this. Stand up, lock your entire body. Lock your knees, lock your elbows by your sides, and see how high you can jump using ONLY your calves. No bending your knees AT ALL. If you are lucky, you will get a few inches off the ground.

Isolating your calves is pointless because they contribute little to your actual jumping abilities. Better to just train box jumps or your vertical or whatever, and any calf improvements you need will come along with it.

Dumbell throwers arent going to help you reach your goal of doing a muscle up. Instead, trade for dips and pullups, then start weighting them. Use your nipples as a guide as to where the bar/dip level should be. Again, work movements like the one you want to achieve.

3 inches is a pretty doable goal. Throw in some maximal jumping work, and you can have it in a few weeks. For example, if you have stairs in your house, every time you go up them, jump as high as you can. Focus on getting that one more step. Eventually you will have it.

For the mile... start running Cheesy

Your right! Calves do contribute little to jumping. I shall trade it for Box Jumps.

I will add dips, and maybe another set of pull-ups. (Those are tiring)

Yes, I do that often. Every time I go up my porch stairs I try to jump as high up them as I can.

And run I shall! =D

Thanks for the help Jake.

EDIT: I changed my first post, how's it look? And I still dont get Dynamic Stretching...
