you sure it was legs and not core fatigue that made the squats hard? my core fails before my legs do most of the time. did a couple of triples at 300 last night and they felt stronger than my squat has in a while, mostly because my core felt so stable.

Oh right on! Somehow did not know or had forgotten that you were nearby. I'm in DC but up in Baltimore a lot because my GF lives there (Fells Point, although she's about to move to Canton). I sprained my ankle right at the beginning of the first season I'd have played men's club down here (2008) and then in subsequent years, as I got more into trying to dunk, I preferred a low commitment team. So I went mixed and uncompetitive -- we made regionals but were never a nationals contender. Ended up spraining my ankle again and after that said fuck it and retired from ultimate. I was plugged into the DC ultimate scene for a couple of years there but I've dropped off entirely. Hard to believe how long it's been, tbh.

LMK if you're down to train/throw around as it gets warmer. I'm going to add some intervals and sprinting/bounding back in and I'm in Baltimore every other weekend or so. There will be rust.

Good luck with your tryouts! Is there a reason you're not trying out for Truck Stop? Or Philly AMP?

what team(s)? where you at?

just found out chipotles are all company-owned, not franchises. there goes my brilliant plan. 

Quick search on PubMed doesn't actually turn up that much.

Effects of in-season short-term plyometric training program on sprint and jump performance of young male track athletes. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25647644

Acute potentiating effect of depth jumps on sprint performance. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23799423

This abstract seems to indicate that power and stretching training increase depth jump height and also ground contact time during depth jumps, i.e., those things are correlated. Interesting. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11880813
