You could read a book in the time you're on the ground during those depth jumps. They need to be much faster. Everything needs to be faster really. Also, I feel sorry for your knees jumping on that hard surface. I guess you're wearing those patella straps because you're getting some inflammation there?

Thanks for the ground contact suggestion... i did feel slow.... and the 20 lbs ball is too heavy......
hard to find better surface where I am, I did hope that Adidas Boost sneaker is able to save me from the impact.

the knee strap is there for safety sake, I did have sore knee.. from training.. squat and jump etc... but nothing serious yet...

Scooby... really man... after all these years... you still go for shit like this?

By the way - have you ever used a kettlebell before?

yo raptor... what can i do man?
not easy to find rubber surface.. and jumping in grass land is not allowed over here

tried but never really used a kettlebell .

such equipment is limited to Personal Trainer only (in the gym where i go to)
I guess is sort of dangerous when people swing it around indoor

I agree with acole those depth jumps you are on the floor to long. Doing them on concrete is doing more bad than good.
Isn't there a park near by with grass or in some parks they have tarmacs rubber surface if none available, how about carpet at home if still
 Not possible than only thing i can think of is maybe have some thing you can place on floor I.e. soft mat.

Depth jumps are not made to be "endurance" exercises...

I don't even know what scooby's max strength levels are, and... ah fuck it, I know I would waste my time trying to write stuff so I'll just shut up.

i did 3 or 4 set of 8 rep of Depth jump... is that consider too much toward endurance?

max strenght is about 2.15 BW.... around there... had not improved ever since...

will for sure try to SPEED up the Ground contact in my next session on sunday

I should work more towards the relaxation realm of athleticism if you're already that strong IMO... think bounds, jumps and sprints. NOT NECESSARILY depth jumps which are, by the way, calf and quad oriented exercises.
