Also, i can't yet do both, go max speed and put max power, one compromises the other. But of course that can only improve from here.

Overall ,     

Can't you just buy a weighing machine with that crap that measures lowerbody electric resistance or something? At least it would be yours and you could mess around with it at home. Yes, it will suck, but it's better than paying 25$ lol

If you were to get at 75 kg and then start building up your strength with a low bar squat and a front squat, so that your leverages matter less, and focused on a more "clean" muscle gain, then maybe you'd get more athletic. That's what I mean.

Nobody said that a low bar squat can't be more vertical. Just ask vag and his criticism of my low bar "pretty vertical" squats, that were annoying me that they weren't "good for quad development".

Then why not try to get to that 75 kg athletic body with a low bodyfat and then start building up from there. Start to add muscle with minimal bodyfat gain (that will be difficult). But if you start from a good position of low bodyfat and light bodyweight (and get there from where you are now trying to maintain your strength as much as possible) - and work your way up to say a 80-82 kg bodyweight with a 2x squat, then you'd be a MUCH better athlete than you are right now.

The problem, obviously, is that in order to do what I'm writing in here you have to "deconstruct" yourself and build yourself up again from "zero", but where "zero" is a better place than when you first started training because now you have the strength training experience and the knowledge to do it.

This is the plan for myself, and we'll see if I'm able to do it (I have big reserves in my success but I'll try anyway).

Ankle weights? Why not a weight vest?

You will probably get more reactive. I was having a conversation yesterday with Joel Smith about Mutaz Barshim and his jumping, and he was like "at 65 kg, you bet he's going to jump like that".

So I was like "well, what if he was 85 kg and had a 400 calf raise and a 300 squat?". And he said something very interesting, that I haven't thought about yet, which is the fact that the problem in the case of the 85 kg guy would not be strength, but the passive structural elements that would get in the way. The amount of tension occuring in the plant for these elements would be the problem that would shut down that guy.

That's why bodyweight, in an absolute manner, is important to reactivity: regardless of strength, these tendons and ligaments will get, in a high speed plant, 8 kg of additional load for every 1 kg of bodyweight you gain in a 8G plant. And once they reach their "material resistance" absolute number limits, the CNS will receive that feedback from the receptors and shut down power production.

Something to think about.
