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.

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.

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?

You could have properly trained during that time!

I know, but crazy as it may sound, even 5 reps are "too much" in my books. I've found out over time that FOR ME, over 3 rep sets for power exercises are bad from a myriad of standpoints: I keep back on my max power exertion so that I can have the same intensity during the 5th rep; if I don't, then my 5th rep sucks; my form breaks down etc. You can argue that "well, OK, then maybe these 8 reps sets will "condition" you a bit and make you perform better when you go with less reps per set". I don't know about that.
But, again, I've found out that for power, sets of 3 reps are the best. Maybe even better than singles. Because it's still a "skill" to perform the jump squats or whatever exercise you do, you can tune it up, technically speaking, to make your 3rd rep the best in terms of both power and execution.
It's the same with the depth jumps - it's not your first reps or even sets that are the best, it's usually somewhere in the 3rd set rep 2 or whatever. That's why I personally prefer sets of 3.

To me, the "no need to do parallel or ATG squats if following JumpManual" sounds like "don't worry guys, if you buy my program you don't need to worry about doing full squats, you know, the squats you actually hate to do".

while he is talking about that, he was referring 2 leg jumping, thanks for pointing that out.
Great timing, we were just having a discussion about half squats

Not really, no. My point was to do a more power oriented jump squatting approach instead of using 8 reps during which, at the end, they will probably suck. The thing with the 1 minute rest periods was just to keep THIS 3x5 or 5x3 a bit shorter than what the same 3x5 or 5x3 would take if you were to pause as much as in your 2x8 (2 or 4 breaks in between sets instead of 1 break).
But whatever.
But whatever.

Wouldn't it be smarter if you did 3x5 or even 5x3 in the jump squats, maybe with less pause in between sets (1 minute tops, just to keep the workout shorter)?

So these are actual reps, no singles?
