Beginner plyos & bodyweight

Phase I, Week 1

Journal:2day is time for my 2nd session for the week and the time for the Phoenix Suns to vs the Houston Rockets(Didn't c Yao Ming). Woke up early around 6.35am, thus I could catch the game on ESPN. I started vjb at about 8am. I'm doing plyos then straight to bodyweight consecutively. I noticed b4 when I just do plyos it takes 30 mins but 2day I noticed if I do both plyos and bodyweight it took a little over 2 hrs as it ended at a little over 10am.

I followed the plyos training schedule's order and started with ankle jump but my first set was done with my legs bending to jump, I'm just taking that since low squat ankle jump is just in squat position and jumping with ankles so that means ankle jump maybe is just jump with ankles without bending knee(pls correct me if my way is wrong and I'm still waiting on my other post asking what ankle jump is to be replied with correct explanation). Since I took it to be that way I should have done it wrong. Thus I repeated the 1st set and continued to the 2nd set without the knees bending.

I feel the string like thing in my right leg where it joins the pelvis hurts, I have felt this sensation before without even doing vjb. This pain is cuz of the standing hip abduction. Throughout the standing hip abduction I was trying to follow the tempo Kelly Baggett said on the schedule by placing my black palm sized analog clock few feet in front of me on the ground and looking at the second needle tick.

Went shower afterwards and by the time it was done the time was 10.45am so 15 mins left for watching the nba game but I was sweating so I went into my room with air condition on to keep me cool. Ended up not watching the game. I'll try to catch the repeat later.

So far nothing else hurts except the string like thing. No butt hurt this time.

Edit:I'm adding that my butt hurts abit. More of a lingering pain of the first session. Just discovered it after I posted. Also p/s-This afternoon after my session when I jump I felt like I was soaring and jumping higher than ever before. I felt light and aloft. I have gained just half an inch,nth much. This is my fifth day since I've started VJB.
