Do you recommend a different nutritional approach is one is to use this method vs. if he isn't?

For example, if a guy is doing 3x5 now and eats say 200g of protein per day, if he's going with 3x5 +1x20, would you change that protein intake quite a bit or just a little more protein intake?

I think the reality is that in T-Dub's case, that first leg that he plants LOADS a lot muscularly, also spends more time than the left leg on the ground and therefore contributes more muscularly and it kind of loads more due to the twisting occuring onto it as well which, in my opinion, helps "stress" the CNS and recruit more muscle.

Here are the "depth jumps" off aerobic boxes:

When you see adistarhj do squats (albeit quarter) with 140 you know you need to squat 400 lbs.

As for the sprints, I think you're right. Although I heavily hiperventilate and feel really sick after a few sprints. I'm lately kind of jumping forward instead of up so I need to work on that as well.

Yeah I know... I think I'll use the powerjumper as a "weight vest" (in terms of overload) for the two leg jumps (two leg bounds), but it won't work on the single leg bounds due to the non-jumping staying bent and under you so it shortens the power jumper canceling it's tension.

I wonder what happens if I bound on one leg with a med ball in hands? (haha) I should try to somehow switch to a double arm swing... I'll see what I can do.

My usual plyo workout is 3x30m sprint, single leg bounds on my left leg for about 3 or 4 sets of 20m and then 5 double leg bounds for 4-5 sets.

Well as far as I'm concerned, I HAVEN'T followed the program to a T plyo wise... since my right knee is idiotic and I can only do LLLL bounds, it didn't make too much sense to waste time to go to the track and do that so I went in the park instead since basketball is "some sort" of plyo in itself. Yes, I know.

I think I'm going to modify the plyo day and do LLLL for a few sets and then go with double leg bounds until a 5% dropoff happens.
