I want to have jump sessions on mondays before my lower body lifting.
I've never done jumps/plyo's before lifting before so I'm not sure how much volume I can get away with without hurting my chances of PRing in the weight room.
If you know or have experience with this, I was thinking of shooting around/warming up for ~20 minutes, and then doing like 7 SLRVJ's (once my ankle heals), 5 DLRVJ's, and 3 SVJ's <-- ALL Max effort. Then I go to weight room and get on with my heavy squats/BSS etc...
If this volume is fine, will my warm up protocol on the squats stay the same? Or start heavier and less reps/sets?

Hm. It's a good idea, though when I do plyos, I usually have a two to three hour break before I segue into lifting.
You oughta do a little more volume on your jumping, I think, though (of course with full recoveries in between each jump). I did something similar a few weeks ago for a few sessions and I believe I was able to do around 20+ two leg running jumps before performance dropped off. It might be different for you, but you oughta monitor it by performance dropping off rather than a given number.

In the past, low volume of ME effort jumping still gave me consistent results so I don't want to even get close to over-doing it so I can go 100% on my squats every monday.

I've been doing plyos before lifting. Sprintp for potentation. Me jump 4sets 4 rep. Mr tuck jump and stiff legged ankle hops, 3 sets of 10each. My squat progress has not been affected , at least what i see. Normally take a 15to 30minute break before weights.
