Cool article, it's funny I was reading it, and the further I got, the more familiar it all sounded, and then I realized I actually own this book, haha. 

The program.... too many weeks of straight loading, too high intensity on max lifts maybe drop it down 10%.  Other than that, its cool, maybe replace single leg depth jumps with single leg hurdle hops, but a Russian high jump coach I have been talking to made a lot of use of single leg depth and single leg triple jumps when he jumped 7'6.5 back in the day. 

Overall, decent program, I give it a B+, haha.
