kf swears by them for SVJ. you're getting a double overload -- from the weight itself and from the height you're adding to jumps 2-n -- while still being able to produce force quickly. i wouldn't do them for high reps, moderate reps seems like the way to go.
if you do them be careful to use a weight you can REALLY handle and make sure you're keeping good form. i strained my low back/SI joint a while back doing DB jump squats, not even rhythmic ones.
______________
got home from work really late and i feel like garbage, bailing on the gym tonight. can't go tomorrow night either, guess i'll call it a one-week layoff.
ETA: did some kb work (swings and snatches), foam rolled, and did band work for shoulders. not much but better than sitting on my ass.

normally i don't care about vertical vs horizontal video but it would really help to see your approach in that jump. looked decently high but hard to see anything.

regarding trap bar, they're easy to adapt for long-limbed dudes like you. just start with the bar up on plates or low blocks, high enough that you can assume the starting position with a neutral back.

when i was a kid i had a recurring dream that there was a little cupid-type dude following me around with a video camera and recording everything i did.
now that could actually be a reality.

MENTAL STATE: low motivation

if you had to lie down after the 400, it was not at 70% intensity.
