But you can slrvj 35 or so being at your worse condition ever.
Anyway, I get what you are saying. But it is not about comparing me to you or someone else but comparing me to me.
I have been wanting to talk about it a lot, but it is not the time yet, wait 1 more month till my 'training season' ends.

Yeah, i hear you. Weight also doesn't affect, i had 30'' SVJ / 34'' dropstep being ~90kg and about just as strong (weak) as now.
Maybe if there is a measurement, a quantity for expressing strength at the half squat depth ( or the DLRVJ depth if you will ), i can say i am good at it. For example, i remember you complaining about half squats with what, 100kg? And while my fulls squat max is around 110kg now, i can do 5 reps of half squats with 130kg extremely fast ( concentric much less than 1s ). Is that strong quads? hamstrings? good RFD? i have no clue.

Bodyweight@session : ???
Soreness : hamstrings : quads and hamstrings and a tiny bit calves
Injuries/aches : none

RUNS & JUMPS SESSION :

Dynamic warmup 10'

2,5 KM ( ~1,5 MILE ) RUN :
Time : 18m:50s
Average speed : ~8 kmh
-Was jog and not run, wanted to do a LISS sesion. Was nice.

JUMPS:
Only the very low ( 9'6'' ) rim was free. I don't like jumping there, cant sync my rim touch well, plus i don't know where exactly i touched it because it is below wrist.
It was a 'bad' session because of the tired legs anyway, was getting 26'' SVJ / 28'' dropstep and 1 step.
And then... i had an apocalypse, an epiphany. I realized i am not actually trying to push off the balls of my feel with everything i got. It is like i have forgotten how to do a ME jump. I think this started with that long-term quad injury i had, that i kept re-flaring whenever i did a true ME jump. And because the time span was too long ( 8 months or so ) it became habitual?
So anyway, i said, Ok, now push it. At the first jump i failed. Next too. I couldn't push, the inhibition is still there. And after a few tries, i got it! Boom, 2'' higher immediately and repeatable. But more important, it felt great. Like the good oldtimes. I was always a voluntary force jumper anyway, so losing that aspect explains why i don't jump what i should be jumping ( according to my strength levels and body composition, compared to myself in the not-so-long past ).
Now i am not running into conclusions yet, gotta see how this works when fresh, if it is repeatable etc etc. But it is just felt great. And it feels very hopeful and motivational.

1:0:1 for them, which means no pause or slow eccentric, goal is 3x30.
But the other day of the week that i do seated raises i do 3x15 in 1:1:2 tempo, slow eccentric and pause at both ends of ROM.

Don't seated calf raises mainly hit the soleus while standing calf raises mainly hit the gastrocs? And the gastrocs are more important for jumping...

Agreed, i ignored seated raises all those years for the same reasons. But i am doing them this year, actually i started doing them before my ski week and i liked them and kept them.
Nothing bad at adding some variety. Plus, because of the lighter load ( no BW ) you can really focus on the ROM.
And raptor yes, i do the concentric explosive ( as much as i can anyway ) at both variations.
Was thinking the third option, go heavier, do less reps with longer eccentric, just like you do i guess. Soon.

Yesterday : rained like crazy so couldn't go out. At least i got back to SMR:

Foam rolling : IT bands, quads , 3x10
Stretch : Quads , hip flexors, hamstrings, calves , 1 session, 2 mins hold each position.
