IMO it would depend alot on the intensity and contents of the workout, if you stimulated enough growth then that should work out as you planned it. The low intensity, not too taxing, cardio session is always a good idea, it will not only burn SOME bodyfat, it will also aid in your overall gpp and help you recover between sets and during your workout. This overtime correlates to more reps, more weight, less recovery time needed, etc., all very big factors in accomplishing your goal of building muscle tissue.
Do tuck jumps always hurt your back? Thats like the only exercise that slightly aggravates my back for some reason, dont know why though?

I should be benching 220 and oly squatting 300. Im a bit below that.
I assume you mean kilos. Cause there's no way in hell my estimated max bench is 381 and yours is 220.
Yeah of course kilos. 484 bench and 660 oly squat that is.
In squatting for jumping improvement, IN MY OPINION, the amortization phase, the point in the movement where the bar goes from downward motion to upward, is the single most important part of the lift. I have seen and strongly believe that the athletes who can turn the lift around the fastest will always have the best carryover to jumping. It is more about how quickly you can get to top speed at that particular point in the lift, than the overall speed attained during the movement.
yea I did the same doing tuck jumps the other day. Hurt like hell but just adjusted how high I brought my knees.
lol im 24 also, happy birthday
Thanks guys! Cant explain in words how happy I am to be a part of this great place!@!@
So was Louie receptive to your ideas? I am sure there are few in the United States that are stronger than those WSB guys on the three major lifts, but as far as VJ goes, I mean they are too massive to even move all that weight to be among the best leapers.
My "ideas" were just valid points that he didnt disagree with, the thing that alot of people misunderstand about Louie is he doesnt care about vertical jump nearly as much as alot of us do, if you gave him a choice of increasing someones svj by 10 inches or increasing their box squat 50lbs, hed take the box squat no question.
Alot of those guys have too much bodyfat to optimize jumping, but the main difference is they dont really train for jumping at all, all of the explosive and dynamic exercises are done to improve rfd in the LIFTS, not a vertical jump. Powerlifting is NOT jump training, just like jump training is not powerlifting.
