yep that's what i meant. why are you doing a 1RM in running shoes?

Yeah, that is a bad idea...that max strength day should not be with running shoes.  foolish choice.. no jumping or high impact lift is include in that day anyway.

btw, here is a pic to record my Frog jump Improvement:


and a respond from Jack himself worth noting:

1) Each ground contact is 1 rep. So it is basically 5 x 1 hop left and i hop right.
2) That is ok to do that with the rack pull. As long as you are focusing on contracting the glutes hard on the lift it is fine.
3) I just watched your video (you are the video king by the way). Your plyo lunge is fine as it is. It is just as much about absorbing the eccentric forces as it is about low ground contact time. The plyo lunge helps build eccentric strength which when done without the weihgt will mean quicker grount contact times.
4) At your strength levels working up to a 1Rm max squat is going to be counterproductive. Firstly, you are already very strong relative to your bodyweight. 1RM work, particularly at the loads you are lifting is going to drain your CNS. A strong guy such as yourself doing a 1Rm of near 400lb is much more taxing to you than a weak guy doing 1RM work of 150lb. The 150lb 1RM guy will bounce back quicker even if that is his 1RM. A 400lb 1RM is much more taxing than a 150lb RM even if though they both represent someones 1RM. I am not sure I have explained that very well but I think you get what I mean. Doing heavy 1RM work will absolutely drain your recuperative energies and your CNS when you simply don't need to focus on max strength anymore. Maintain strength yes, but focus on power. I love to lift heavy too, but for jumping, it is very much a case of diminishing returns. I would stick to the sub-maximal day I prescribed so as to maintain without the stress to your joints or CNS.
5) tuck jump instead of box jump is fine. Really, it is just about getting jumping stimulus. I don't believe there is any magic jumping combination that creates freakish gains, there is just sensible progression and consistent application of effort towards your goal. If you want to jump high you need to jump with maximum effort and do it regularly. The plyo and jumping drills allow you to do that without killing your joints like the dunk practice does.

So i guess no more 1RM attempt....

Then, as I'm standing there, the bar literally starts to feel lighter on my back, mid set. That has never happened to me before in my life! It was pretty damn cool to ACTUALLY FEEL the effects of adrenaline AS it's happening! So the weight feels light and then I get my confidence to squat even though my legs feel very shaky.
