Well good luck, but for a 45+ you'll need to train 5 years or more I suppose without having major injury difficulties, with great nutrition and great training...

That's what he said about people that try to feel the "burn".

20 reps makes me feel great too, so much blood flow

I've talked about this theory of mine some time ago on TVS, but here it is again:

Box height / VJ (cm):

30 / 60
40 / 70
50 / 75
60 / 72

If we're to listen to the "general consensus", the optimal box height for this athlete is 50 cm, since off that box he gets the highest subsequent VJ (75 cm). But in my opinion, maybe he should use the 60 cm box where the inhibition starts to take place, that being the 60 cm box since the subsequent VJ is 72 cm there (-3 cm).

That should teach this athlete that it's OK to load more eccentrically so adaptations occur.

What do you guys think?

PS. I think this could work but it might be even more injury prone than a regular depth jumps since probably the landing mechanics are compromised, and this kind of destroys my concept.

That's still higher than me, and I'm 10 years younger and squat more.

Gotta mean something. Either bad for me or good for vag, or both.

2 questions:

1) How do i jump higher when my PR is 34,5'' , this season best is 33,5'' and you jumped 36'' a few weeks ago?
2) How do you squat more when you did PRed at 140x1 last week and i PRed at 3x1x145 ?

But lets just say that our numbers are very good for both!   

1) I meant off two feet. My PR jump off two feet with runup and everything is 31-32 inches. Off one leg, that's another story.
2) You did? That's great. I'm probably at that level as well if I go balls to the wall. But you still jump more even with that.

What's the thing with 20 rep sets? I mean, I know that's for added volume and stuff, but why 20 reps?

WTF? That's not a clean. That's a continental.

I know it's not a clean. It's a dirty.
