Hey, I just wanted to know if you guys could create me a program that would help me increase my strength(squat, deadlift, hang clean, etc.) in order to increase my vert? I was here a little while ago about increasing my squat. But, I never quite got into that because i starters training at this place called d1 sports. Anyway, here's my profile, I hope you can help me and I hope to show you all my progress!:

AGE: 17

HEIGHT: 6'3

WEIGHT: 180

SLEEP SCHEDULE: 11-7 or 12-7, all depends on the workload for the night, but mostly 11-7

BODY TYPE: ummm, no clue on my body fat, I guess athletic body type.

GOALS: Improve my squat, deadlifts, power cleans, and overall strength, while also seeing gains in my vertical and 40 time.

CURRENT ABILITY:
34.3 inch vert(tested in Sept.), 310x1 squat(haven't squated in a little while though)
INJURY HISTORY: Minscus Surgery, July 2008. Sprained Ankle, June 2009. Sprained Ankle and Bone Contusion, November 2010.

TRAINING HISTORY & ACHIEVEMENTS: Jump Manual and gained about 3 inches(27-30) during my freshman year. Not many "achievements" I guess. Depends on what you're asking haha.

CURRENT ACTIVITY LEVEL AND/OR TRAINING PROGRAM:
No training program, activity level is mediocre. I play basketball but it isn't all that taxing on my body.
BRIEF OVERVIEW OF CURRENT DIET: Ummm eggs,pancakes, or cereal in the morning. Whatever they have for lunch at school, most of the time I have a sandwich(turkey, ham, etc.). Dinner usually includes some meats steak, spaghetti, hamburger, things of that nature.

IMPORTANT ACTIVITIES: Basketball and School Work...that's about it.

P.S. I want to start this on Monday, no rush, Im just anxious to start

Um, nothing real specific. Just doing squat sets(mostly 5x5, or 8/6/4/2). And I've also done the Jump Manual and a little bit of VertFreak. And yes, its a proper full squat. My ideal squat max before I decided to stop is anywhere between 400-450 and @190lbs

I see two sensible options.

A) Training 3 times per week and increasing squat weight 3 times, and deadlift / hang clean every other time. That's the most efficient way to do it but it would mean prioritizing strength gains over other stuff for the time being.

B) Going for weekly increases in all lifts and have resources left for basketball, conditioning, etc.

Eventually A) will stop to work either way, but considering how you got to your 310 lbs squat you could go down that road for several weeks at least and progress really quickly. B) is an option for later or something you can do now when you play a lot of ball and have a hard time recovering doing A). A) means pretty much doing the starting strength program, B) could be a variation of the texas method or another program that involves weekly increases in all exercises. Both will likely help you jump higher at this point. Adding powersnatches soon will help as well.
