That's the first thing that catched my eye when I read it

You should experiment jumping more relaxed instead of more tensed up like you're doing right now. Right now you're thinking "I want to give my all in this jump and jump as high as possible" but instead you're tensing up and jump lower - I know that because I used to do it too and I still am doing it.
Weirdly enough, you're more likely to tense up when you're more tired than when you're fresh, so it might give you some feedback on that too - if you tense up all the time you might be overtraining. The reason for that is that when you're tired CNS-wise you're weaker and in order to "get up there" you need to recruit more muscle (or you think you need to) and you tense up. This messes up everything.
So next time try to do some more relaxed jumping, especially while planting. You can really push at the end of the jump when you take off but as you plant, "be like water, friend" to quote Bruce Lee.
PS. Shaving will give you 2 more inches.

Man you have some long ass arms. What I can see is that your speed is not good in your jumps (the speed of executing the actual jump). It looks like you give a what, 40% of your max effort to do these jumps... pretty weird.
Maybe you should work with plyos and explosive stuff more in the near future as you get stronger is my point, and jump more often.

I do this:
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWEJYpvGXao" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWEJYpvGXao</a>
with the same handle but with one arm only, and really go full rom and focus on a controlled slow TUT movement. Works pretty well I guess.

What, hip thrusts with 250-300 lbs? Probably works if you have the technique set down and you can really control the weight.

I find your log the hardest log to follow because you write so much in it each time (much like what Avishek is doing). So I just see how much is written and go "nah... I don't want to read all that" and just pass on. But hey, who cares about what I do, right? Just thought I'd say this.
I do respect your passion and dedication though.
