@FP: i wouldn't recommend that technique to improve jumping in a crowd or off a run. it greases a very specific groove: look at the RL plant i posted last week and compare to my normal LR and you can see the difference that it makes.
no idea whether you could get higher off a backpedal than off SVJ. but i have no doubt at all that if you practiced backpedal-jumping you'd get better at it pretty quickly.

re: grip assistance on lobs. i have very limited experience, obviously. but judging on the weekend before last, when i did 20+ attempts and back-ironed or pushed the ball past the rim on a bunch of them, having the ball stick to my hand a little better might have enabled me to control the ball enough to push it down.

they're DL bounds. 3x3 is actually 27 "jumps", because one rep is bound-bound-VJ. they're fairly intense, doing more than that seems to bother my knee so i don't. hard to say what of the newer stuff i've been doing (i.e. since end of december) has made the difference but i'm trying to be the anti-maxent here and just do what i'm told. everything together has pushed me to levels i'd never reached before so...[shrug emoji].
the DB jump squats are submax, continuous, and maybe about quarter depth. i used to do bigger amplitude and fucked up my back, so i am cautious. i focus on triple extension on each jump.

^^^not sure i agree with that. butterface by definition means the rest of the girl is hot. the word itself is just a mashup of "but her face" as in "everything's hot but her face." for me that generally means more petite. to each his own. but man i fucked the sunday girl again on thursday night (she issued the best booty call i've ever gotten: a picture of fresh-baked chocolate cupcakes and an invitation to come lick the bowl) and it was, again, very good. mind expansion.

Shit! Well, if my visa takes forever (entirely possible), I very well might still be here. PM me your actual dates. At the very least I can tell you some cool places to go.

second set RL

didn't feel right
- goof around with dips and pull ups
well, not the best workout ever. vest complicates squats, i should just take it off for them.

here's my experience with a high-volume, high-frequency t0ddday template: do as much of it as you can, and don't sweat if you're too tired to finish a workout or if you need to cut the intensity way back one day or skip a workout. i could not do the workouts as prescribed, and i could not complete a week without skipping something. but i pushed myself to do everything with max effort and cut myself off once that dropped. and i started PR'ing like 2-3 weeks later.
that said, do not neglect the jumps. if jumping higher is the goal, nothing is more important than ME jumps. if you have to cut back, cut back on the track. and fwiw, the second-most helpful thing for me were bounds, followed by heavy paused squats, then MB throws.

pistols also get the VMO if you're doing 'em right. i have to do a LOT of pistols to get sore, though.
