I noticed that my jumps would peak/PR after 2~3 weeks of having frequent jump sessions and plyo training. My vertical would linearly go up as I practicing jumping and doing plyo's. After those 2~3 weeks, I would stop and not really jump for like a week or more. My jumps drop again back to where it was.
My question is, is this ALWAYS going to be the case, or is it a situation where if I at the least keep practicing max effort jumps longer than 2-3 weeks, the gains will stay longer? Is it that 2-3 weeks of initially jumping higher isn't a long enough time for my body to adapt and grasp this new ability?

Maybe you're becoming more efficient at utilizing your current strength and then when you back off you lose that efficiency and fall back into using a lower % of your strength to apply in your jumps.
So either increase strength or keep on jumping.
