wow this guy trains triple jump. inspiration to do more bounding :)

anyway, serious tendon power right there,

WATCH this video by him:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP7eT5fnzV0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP7eT5fnzV0</a>

Started with a 21'' vertical, 4'8' high jump. I wonder how much of his gains were due to genetics. doesn't look like his hops come from serious strength gains

Well... I have him on facebook and he does a lot of Olympic lifting... but I agree, a lot of probably genetics.

To me, the most obvious thing I see for the SVJs is the total lack of armswing... you swing your arms but you get 0 out of it. There's really no synchronization between the armswing and the actual jump... you should work on that more.

The running jumps look ok... although some of them don't look too "certain" in terms of where and when to start the plant etc

Why don't you start doing 4-6 weeks of explosive work? Depth jumps, jump squats, KB swings, hang cleans, hang snatches, speed squats, explosive box squats, box jumps, broad jumps, bounds, plyos of all sorts and jumps to the rim.

To me, you're already pretty strong and maybe it's a good time to get into such a cycle right now because, again - that's what you seem to lack the most.

Maybe you were overdosing on protein back then?

Ah, I guess it's time for you to go home then!

Just kidding, follow your dream man... no matter what obstacles you get into.

So you're not loading up on creatine the first 4-5 days? I took 20-25g the first few days and then maintained at 5g.

Does this exercise make any sense?

Meaning, do you see anything dangerous about it or anything?

Well, you just have to ask yourself this: have you really reached your peak? Do you already squat 2.5x for 1RM or 2x for 5RM? Have you practiced jumping and playing and sprinting enough at the right intensity with the right mindset? Have you had a clear-cut goal that you managed to attain? And so on and so forth.

It's bullshit raptor, all mutually exclusive. When your lifts are good, you're too heavy. When you're light, lifts are shit. You need some extra 25-40kg reserve strength to make it worthwhile post-bulk-post-cut. Fools errand!

Yeah I know it sometimes feels like spinning the wheels - gain strength and mass to increase your squat and you're too heavy and not "functional" for sports/you also gain fat.

Try to lose that fat and weight and you also lose strength and lose "all" the gains in the squat.

But... it can be done... just look at Kingfish.
