* still 385 strong at the weakest day of the week. this saturday afternoon is after a 3-night 7pm-8am work schedule. 

^ good coffee is part of my daily routine. i don't need massive amounts to get thru my workout. i just take in a lot because i like drinking home brewed coffee.

gluts and quads get trained proportionally on the oly squat. no need for isolation movement when one compound works.

i'm using the heavier jump squats to potentiate the lighter jump squats. i do not go for max jump height. just enough power to get liftoff and enough strength to stabilize the landing. i keep the reps very low on the heavies.

i also find heavy jump squats more effective in waking up my legs and results to a better SVJ test at the end.

^ lean down first before you do any high intensity jumping. it will save you a lot of wear and tear.

shoulder width stance is the power stance. it is were we are most explosive. glutes and quad powered.

* learned something new today. saw a guy doing close grip dips on top of the pullup/ab raise equipment. the machine is bolted to the floor. followed him and did some very good reps. i don't have to worry about cramping my hamstrings because i have to fold my legs so i don't hit the floor. my feet is almost 5ft above ground at the lowest. dips felt awesome. i just have to make sure i don't fall. its not going to be comfortable from that height.
* added depth drops too. start slow and get used to it again. doing these squat jumps and altitude drops wearing my ironworks. feels more solid on the landings. less cushion but a lot better form.

goodluck with the new coach scoob.

if i were your coach and you paid me to train you to SVJ 40" (89" reach, to dunk) i would have kept it very simple:

1. full squat your way to a 2.25BW+. good form. not a PR. something u can do weekly for many weeks.
2. veins in the lower abs lean.
3. good jumping volume. preferably double hand dunking on a lowered rim.

when you can do these and still can't dunk, ill pay you for your wasted time. 

for some motivation on your dunking:

edit add: so you know i back up my recommendation. 2.5BW. about the same time as these dunk vids

* bw 188-190lb still. might be a 186 soon. will hold it in the 184-186. no plans of sub 180lb. squat reps were smoother and feels more comfortable. squat strength gets used up fast on the 405. back off down to 365. might go lighter as i put more weight on the squat jumps. thinking of upping to  115/185 (bar+35lb and bar+2x35lb).
