Split Routine: Week 1, Day 2

Hey there gang!  So for Tuesday's workout I worked the crap out of my legs, as well as abdominals.  The best part about this workout: there are plenty of plyometrics.  Plyometrics, also called "jump training" works your muscles in an explosive manner, and is much more applicable to real-world activiites like sports and dancing. 
Abdominals:
3x (Clockwork Leg Raise x6, Twisting Knee Raise x6)
Side Plank: 1 minutes per side
Oblique Twists: 30
Ab Wheel Rollout: 10
Main Workout:
            Deadlift: 3x 5-7: 185/185/185
            Squat Jumps: 3x 8-10           
            BOSU Lunge with Weight: 3x 6-10/side: 30/30/30
            BOSU Bulgarian Lunge Hop: 3x 10/side
            TRX Single Leg Squat: 3x 8/leg
            Skater Plyo: 3x 16
            TRX Lunge: 3x 8/leg
            Single Leg Reactive Box Hop: 3x 10-15/leg
            Squat Jump: 3x 30 seconds
Cardio: Sprint Work: Hallway sprints x4
I also received a question from Chris Leach, who asks:
"How do you anchor the TRX?"
Great question.  The gym that I work out at has an anchor point that doubles as a chin up bar.  The most important factors in an anchor point is that it can support your weight (should be obvious, but it sometimes isn't); the anchor point is (ideally) 7-9 feet off of the ground; and the workout straps highest point is about 6 feet off the ground. 
Don't worry, I've included a couple of photos:
Note how I've overlapped the TRX; this is to prevent it from shifting.
Where the workout straps' highest point is about 6 feet off of the ground.
Thanks for your question Chris.
Until tomorrow!
