Hey Lance, been going through these bound cycles for a few weeks now, I'm getting better, but still needs work.  I did however PR with +2 inches on my single leg jump since I've been training with these bounds.  I usually do 3 cycles of all 3 types of single leg bounds with some sprints before and depth jumps after.

I have been doing plyo's/bounds on M/W/F, and lower body weight lifting T/TH/Sat, but I was thinking maybe lifting only on Saturday's.  I want to master bounding, and a lot of times, my legs are kinda sore on plyo days, even though I did low volume lifting the day before.  I think that slight soreness affects my explosiveness on my plyo days, and being sore affects my jump sessions and I did PR whenever I was jumping frequently.

congrats on the 2 inch gain man, thats GREAT!@!  I would lift at least at least 2 days a week though, cutting it down to one day will be harder to still make strength gains which you still need at this point.

You think this is a good idea?  Just lift on Saturday's to maintain lower body strength, and master plyos' and bounds and high frequency on jumping?

Also, do you have any videos of the different bounds?  Max speed,height,distance?  I wanna know what my bounds are supposed to look like.

yea, lift at least 2 days, and we are working on some bounding progression videos, hopefully have those out soon.

Thanks, and looking forward to those videos.

But, didn't you say in an earlier post that single leg bounding itself can help build strength, and actually help you go up in squats?  Or am I missing something?

And random question, while training for vertical jump (squat/weight room/plyo's), as my vert goes up, will my quickness go up as well?  I'm talking specifically in basketball.
THanks.

Actually, it just rained outside so I hadn't have the oportunity to do them... I will film them the next time I try them.

hah, hate when that happens, same thing happened to us last week on 40yd dash day at the field......... cool though, paste it in here if you want when you get a chance to do them.

 Yes they can for sure, but not as effeciently for YOU at YOUR LEVEL right now as the weight room can.  Look at the strength carry over you get from them as icing on the cake, not your bread and butter.

  Your POTENTIAL for quickness will for sure, basketball quickness is very basketball specific, meaning you need to drill the exact movements you want to get quicker at over and over, with your newly found speed and strength.

So at times when I have no access to a weight room, will Single Leg Bounding, help me at the very least maintain if not improve my lower body strength?

And, the quickness thing, so you're saying if I ever get my vert up to 42~" to dunk, I have the potential to be much quicker and faster in basketball?  But to do so, I gotta just keep practicing the specific moves/crossovers I wanna be quick at?

Lance, just got to say, I love these single leg bounds, so thanks for putting them up.  I still suck at them, but I just love doing them for some reason.  And guess what, I PR'd with another inch now.  Obviously it wasn't JUST the bounds, but ever since I started them, and increased my jump session frequency, I did add 3".  My main focus right now, is to master these.  Can't wait for those bounding progression videos.  

But I had a question:  On each "bound", am I supposed to swing my arms and my other leg as I would in a SLRVJ?

this is a stupid question more likely than not but i'll ask none the less

do you think it's alright if i use my power jumper when i do my bounds to really overload everything and add resistance or should i wait until i've come a little closer to mastering them first?...i feel like i could kind of see the powerjumper actually making my bounds better for some reason...and i'm doing the double leg variety just so ya know

not a stupid question, and yes you can.  The powerjumper will make the shock portion less intense, and improve the "force" part, making your bounds stronger.  Just be sure to do them without it on as well.  Complexes with the power jumper on for a set, then off for a set work great.

NICE man, thats a very big improvement, 3 inches is no joke when it comes to jumping!  And yea, use the most powerful/coordinated arm swing you can muster up.

Does that include a leg swing too, with the non bounding leg?

And, I'm doing 3 sets of all 3 types of bounds.  Is this enough per session, or would doing more be more beneficial?

Thanks.
