I'll write an article these days about how similar your body is with a car and how similar jumping is with driving that car... if you think with that perspective, with the engine power being the posterior chain, the brakes being the quads, the suspensions&tires being the calves and shoes, and you driving the car fast being jumping then it's easier to think what you're lacking IMO.
Obviously the biggest difference would be the quads since you can use the quads as both breaks and power generators (calves too, but to a much lesser extent).
So basically LBSS has to ask himself if he's missing the horsepower to get there or if he doesn't drive often enough/efficient enough to finish the race faster with the engine that he already has.
I still maintain that he'd be better off RIGHT NOW doing an explosive FOCUSED template for a few weeks and see what happens. Like what I'm currently doing right now, basically very little strength work at all. Just jump squats + depth jumps in kind of a big volume, and some very explosive squats with 60-70% of 1RM (high bar). I mean what can you lose, seriously?
If not that, then a ton of jumps at the rim trying to get smoother/faster/more coordinated/more elastic/more relaxed etc etc etc and finally, more explosive. Some people build their car all their lives but never actually drive it fast.
