BW = ???
SORENESS = upper hamstrings, quads, VMO, glutes, lower back a little
ACHES/INJURIES = none really, normal little things but not bad
FATIGUE = moderate
- warm up
soreness pretty bad, took a longer warm up than usual and included more static stretches
- line hop 3 x 20
all between 9 and 10 seconds
- squat 3 x 8 x 245 || 5 x 265 || 2 x 2 x 280 || 1 x 315
easier than yesterday by a lot. 315 a bit grindy, though. weak.
- bench 2 x 3 x 175 || 8 x 175
weak
- pull up 2 x 3 +5 || 1 x 11 +5
- stretch

If you took something away from the article that's great, but I find it scary that someone with nothing more to his credit than middling results (from the videos he's posted I'm not buying his vert as being anywhere near high 30s) is writing articles on the subject. Adarq's trained athletes and if I'm not mistaken has a degree in a related field. It does help that his vert actually looks pretty good in videos but I would listen to a fat guy that could only jump 10 inches if he had good credentials.
true, but the second part -- the experience training others and the credentials -- is what matters, and your first post made it sound like you were more concerned with the first part. JC and i argued about this a while ago w/r/t lyle mcdonald. JC kept saying, "but who has he trained," and i kept saying, "i don't give a shit, what he writes is clear and logical and backed up by research and experience, whether his own or that of people he knows." and JC kept saying, "so basically, you're taking his word for it because it sounds right," and my head exploded.
all i took away from raptor's article was, "oh yeah, i have muscles between my knees and my ankles. maybe i should do something about them."

THAT WASN'T A FUCKING INSULT.
chrisbro, though, man, really? adarq never got better than high 30's but we're all on his forum. we all listened to him like he was jesus christ when he was still active with people's training. and no one would have listened to taylor horton if he'd been the type to offer lots of advice, even though his vert is one of the highest on the forum.
personally i kind of liked the article. hypotheticals are silly and unproductive, in part because they lead to stupid bickering like the above or like in that other thread with ... T0dday maybe? and you? and JC? i can't remember. i got sidetracked. point is i don't think about my calves very often and it made me do that.

That's just it. Fat isn't useful body mass. Is there any way we can increase strength/power/elasticity and remove body fat efficiently?

BW = 170.8 
SORENESS = none
ACHES/INJURIES = neck extremely stiff all day but loosened up a little during workout, left knee, right wrist during bench warm ups but not work sets, left VMO a tiny bit
FATIGUE = low to moderate
- warm up
- SVJ x 10-12
atrocious. some of the jumps were just ugly, knees and feet all over the place. jesus christ. used padding on side of backboard and actually found gym's tape measure. highest mark put jump at ~25.5.
- DLRVJ x 6-7
submax/relaxed, still awful. coming back from vacation is a bitch
- depth jump 3 x 5
first two sets actually okay, used a really low box (~12)
- squat 3 x 8 x 230 || 5 x 245 || 2 x 2 x 260 || 1 x 280
not bad, actually. at least this is still light weight
- bench 2 x 5 x 165 || 13 x 165
- pull up 2 x 5 + bw || 11 + bw
- ab pull down 3 x 10 x medium band
- stretch
