In my position, if you had 2 weeks to put 5-15kg on your squat, what would be the best way?
If I had to try I'd probably do 3 days of lower body and spread the following throughout those days:
Band assisted sets of 3 w/130
1 variation (e.g. box squats)
1 alternate stance squat (e.g. sumo or narrow depending on my weaknesses)
Partial reps in the bottom 1/4 for a few sets of 3-5 reps w/a decent weight & bands for added resistance
Car or prowler pushes
Sprints
Weighted Step Ups
8-10 sets of heavy singles
Heavy partial reps (130+ if you're not able to do 130x1 yet) at a depth between quarter and half (or justhalf if possible)
A few negative reps @ around 150
I'd throw in hanging leg raises, weighted situps, hyperextensions & oblique twists on the 1&3rd day. No idea if that would work but if left to my own devices that's what i'd try. I wouldn't try what Kingfish is doing as he's doing it for maintenance and not to build strength and from personal experience, you'd see a dropoff in strength at first. I'm a fan of mixing it up also so I'd prefer something w/more variety than smolov jr.
I woke up sore around the right glute area. That's new. I can't remember the last time that's happened. Using that as feedback, may mean I need to strengthen my glutes for jumping.
Could be a sign that your glutes are becoming stronger and providing a larger portion of the force in your jumps. That's what happened to me when I started doing box squats last year and my pc became dominant.
