Looking good man. As long as the deadlifts don't interfere with the plyos (meaning - they don't generate too much soreness that limits the plyo days) then it's all good.

I personally can't squat narrow. Even a 1/4 squat with a narrow stance = great knee bend and pressure on the knees.

Squat definitely looking good. That guy who commented was spot on. So I guess maybe it's just a matter of getting more efficient at squatting muscularily-wise (in terms of muscular intra and inter coordination, which basically means your body adapting to the exercise until real strength gains start happening).

I wonder how and if your training will change going for a higher SLVJ
Would you say the need for specificity will increase? More lunges/BSSs/one-leg deadlifts or just continue with half squats?
For example, I was thinking about your LTMP thing but I was thinking about using the lunge or BSS instead of the half squat daily for more one-leg specificity...

A matter of technique I think. I'm very similar, I can tap into the glute strength reserves in unilateral strength exercises, whereas in the squat it becomes a quad dominant thing that takes the glutes off and my position/posture sucks hence my squat sucks.
Maybe a video of your squats would help.

For the stepups I use 3 or 4 25 kg plates that fit the small bars (very small bar diameter). These are very stable one on top of another and I can do my stepups there since I don't have boxes.

Yeah I think I come back to what I'm able to do regardless of training, probably just due to structure and technique alone (and just my natural level of strength or whatever).

Yeah we'll see how it goes.
You're familiar with snatches and cleans, is your form good, or will you replace these with jumpsquats?

First off, I can't understand how you aren't able to play ball during the summer. No outside courts near you?
But no, 2-leg jumps should improve if my strength improves, so...
