I love the 90% focus on the stuff that gives 90% of the gains in the weight room. Squats. What Kingfish is doing is giving him the most bang for his buck imo. I stopped deadlifting like a year ago when I saw that it wasn't translating into my SVJ or RVJ and just stuck with squats 2-4x a week. I go pretty deep though, so I still have plenty of glute and ham work.

Squats - Maintenance
[185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 405 4x2, 2x2

Explosive 1/2 Squats
- 225 8x2
- 325 6x1
- 225 8x1

Jump Drills
- SVJ x6-8
 
* rep 4 of 405 2nd set already a goodmorning. did not bother beating up the back some more and stopped at 2 reps for 2 more sets.
* the air resistance machine is being used for group exercise so i just did the conventional barbel 1/2 squats. i used a box and a padded foam on top of it to maintain proper depth. 1/2 squat is ~ parallel. i did a touch and go and not a box squat style where you kill momentum and rest on it. when i feel contact.. i just reverse the motion right away. the foam is soft so i should not be deloading the weight at contact noticeably.
* first 2 sets of 225 just to prepare and get form going. my heel was raising even with my ironworks2 when i explode form the bottom. i tip toe also when i drop fast on the eccentric.
* first set of 225 was 1 rep at a time just figuring out how this works. 2nd set was 4 consecutive.. pause and another 4.
* the 325x6 was also 1 at a time. heels stay planted.
* the last 225x8 following the 325x6 went very fast. i was really rowing with that thing. im tip toeing both on the quick eccentric and doing some sort of calf raise on the top. felt my glutes and quads really getting worked. no vids to check out my 1/2s.. but that 225x8 felt like a rep a sec for 8 reps.
* the SVJs at the end were surprisingly high for a squat day.. i was getting 2-3" below the top of the foam on the back board. 36-37"
i could have gotten 38s IMO but i did not bring my kobe5. just chucks so no 3step vert today. did really good using the wrong shoe.

When I did tucks and pogos in my lifting shoes a week and a half ago or so it actually felt great. I was surprised.

Squats - Maintenance
[135,185x6][225,275x4][325x2][365,385,405x1]
- 405 3x1

Explosive Parallel Squats Waveloaded - Volume / Light
- 225 8x1
- 325 6x1, 225 8x1
- 325 4x1, 225 8x1
- 225 8x1

* 2 days off and squats are not as bad. not really that strong to get 405x4 but certainly stronger than when i take 3-4 days off coming from a low volume squat workout. i still squat best a day after a light squat routine.
* since the barbel parallel squats felt good last time, and lance is annoyingly right most of the time.. decided to ditch the air resistance squat and do conventional parallels.
* call them parallels because if think half squats, i end up visualizing half the vertical bar travel, which with my style of squats is barely breaking 1/4s. i double checked that with my vids.. i drop almost half way down and im still barely even at a 1/4s.
* since im still at the learning part of the movement.. i will use my capacity to absorb the eccentric as measuring tool of my progress - i have no idea how to judge how explosive / fast my concentric or my ammortization is. for today, i was easily doing 4 rhythmic, pause and another 4 on the 225s. the 325s where still singles. if i can do the same 4 on, pause and another 4 using 275s with the same form and control as a did with 225s.. then there is progress. on warmups, i do 2 consecutive on 225s. i tried to do the same today with 325 and i knew that im not ready because my torso shifted forward and i ended up using  my erectors to correct it. i really planned to take a vid for form analysis but my camera battery was drained. il do it next time.
* i will build up work capacity / preparation for a cycle of explosive parallels using 135/225 as wamrup on jump days | 225/325 - volume/preparation | 325,365 high intensity low reps | 385,405 max.. all wave loaded. thats the plan for now. i will even try a 12-16 reps on the lighter weights doing up max 4-6 rhythmic before resetting. see how it goes. a good goal for me is to rep 325/365 with the same control as im doing right now with 225/275.

some pics of my depth:

top


full bottom - hams to calves


vertical bar travel half way down - 1/4 squats


parallels


full again..compared to parallel. there is a big difference.
