Quick blog, this is the "33.5 inch RVJ to 37 inch RVJ block" that our legendary quad-mutant ARowe used successfully. Keep in mind this is an intermediate/advanced block, it shouldn't be used by beginner's. The block should come AFTER proper preparation. Proper preparation includes:

- Being healthy
- Considerable strength block (involving squat/lunges/calf raises)
- Gradually incorporating depth jumps & other reactive work
- Experience with REA squats (though can be substituted) & jump squats
- Experience with heavy squat singles for use in MSEM

So, if you are interested in trying this block, all you do is rotate through the cycle X times, which will give you X peak jump sessions. Keep in mind that these are short blocks intended on peaking power by session 4, although max effort should be applied to each session, session 4 is the most important in terms of caffeine/prior rest etc.

session 4: rvj session & vert
- warmup really good, progress into max SVJ's, then into max RVJ's (or just max RVJ's if that's your goal)




OFF DAYS
- active rest, full rest, or light/moderate upper body work (weights or bodyweight)




Example Schedule

monday = session 1
tues = active rest
wed = active rest
thurs = session 2
fri = active rest
sat = session 3
sun = active rest
mon = active rest OR session 4       active rest or session 4 + session 1



it could also be:
monday = session 1
tues = active rest
wed = active rest
thurs = session 2
fri = active rest
sat = active rest
sun = session 3
monday = active rest
tues = active rest OR active rest or session 4 + session 1

the legend speaks.

yes arowe's journal is a good read.. alot of 'f**k my jumps sucked', then alot of 'holy shit I pr'd again'

haha

hah nice! just stay away from the REA's possibly, those have increased risk if knees aren't 100%, they are so stressful..

kill it joejoe!@$!@$!@%!@
