Heavy -  Low Sets / High Volume Clustered Reps
- 585 x20 x20 : (8-6-6)

coud u elaborate on the rep scheme here?

does it mean two sets of 20 and then a cluster set of 8, then 6, then 6?

20 total reps made of clusters. a cluster ends when i cannot reach and hold the top ROM. a few seconds of rest and do another cluster.

* legs were strong for the paused rep 405x1. could have pushed 425x1. torso not as strong. still carrying fatigue from the heavy calf raises.

Hey, what other plyo's did you do that helped you reach 40 svj?  I know you've done depth jumps, but are there any others that supplemented to your training?  thanks.

The best plyo to help him reach 40+ SVJ was 440lbs paused ATG squats.

that and a couple of SVJs here and there worked well.. deceivingly simple.

* nearing my calf work goals with the multi 10s using 585s. clusters of 4-4-2 with seconds in between to reset. would max right now at 6-8 continuous reps but will really require me to push with back/arms to get to full top ROM - will be too tiring.
* the 315x4 starting warmup set is getting me some WTF looks..  my squat warmup is very efficient now. 5 mins and i'm done. 
* i'm getting very comfortable with the x4 rep range but i haven't tested multi 4s in a while. if i were to do a squat volume work with the same daily frequency, IMO my best approach right now is a cluster of doubles up to 40 total reps a workout, 2x/day starting with 345s.

What is your squatting plan? Will you go heavy soon? Will it be daily again? Maybe with a bulk?
Also. how did daily squating 405 affect your jumping over the course of that year and how does the current 'deload-rest' phase seem to affect it?

- keep daily squats to ~ 315x4, 365x1 with 1-2x/week 405/425x1..... until i stop gaining on my calf work. might be possible to get to 585x10s at the rate i'm progressing right now.

- daily squats with 405 did not really affect my SVJs as i am used to near-peak jumping after a squat session anyway. i can still SVJ 2-hand dunk which puts me in the very high 30s/low 40s. i also find that at a wet BW of sub 172, i jump highest.

- the squat de-load is just a way for me to blast my calf raises, so jumping is going to be the same.
