Thanks dude! I think that actually looks pretty good, although it's going to mean a big fluctuation in workout duration. But that's not a big deal at all, now that I think of it. My thought with cutting back on strength stuff was that it comes so much more easily to me than the explosive/reactive stuff that I have a tendency to over-focus on it. It's more encouraging or I feel like I'm really working hard or something. Whereas with jumps I just see where I'm touching and cringe.

Your way looks better, though. I'm gonna give that a try starting tonight with some LISS.

np man.. glad you liked it.

ya the workout duration will increase, but with that extra rest day, it works perfect.. plus those bodyweight circuits at the end can take anywhere from 5-10 minutes.. it's the conditioning at the end that will take the extra time but it's light stuff so it'll be fine.

i feel you on the jumps thing, but somehow you have to kill that "cringe" reaction.. just jump hard, get intense, fuck those negative thoughts.. sometimes it's hard to do that, for sure, can't always stay 100% focused, but if it's happening nearly every time that's not good.. think of it more of like lifting instead of jumping.

pc!

Hey, this forum looks great, I'v been training for VJ for about three years now,

I started on all that jumpsoles and air alert B.S! and for the last 2 years through reading and learning info
on forums like these I've incresed my vert to from not being able to touch the ring to aboout a 11' touch. I did this through increasing my Squat from about ~100kg to 125kg for a 5rm as well as increasing explosiveness through jumps squats and stuff and through shock. (i have real bad genetics, right now my maximum running vertical is the same as my drop step vertical, DLRVJ)

Country = Australia
Age = 16
Height = 6'3"
Reach = bout 8'2"
Squat = 125x5
Weight = 85kg

damn nice man, good work! improving to an 11' touch at 16 is no joke.. 11'6+ will be massive.

welcome to the forum.

Looks like he did them, why was it too heavy?

cause it wasn't "clean" in his mind, he's getting more knee extension in there than he wants, and he's the glute guy, so, no excessive quad utilization ! ;f

Saturday was first club ultimate event, just a casual scrimmage for returners and a couple of great pickups before tryouts start next week. It was windy as hell so just a goofy game. Lot of fun. Except one of our great pickups separated his shoulder trying to D me on a swing pass... Fuck. AND he doesn't have insurance so he couldn't go to the hospital. Gotta love this fucking country.

Anyway, today jumps felt terrible. Oh well. I need a new plan now, the knee is feeling pretty solid and I'm frustrated again.

Warm up
jog to gym
usual

Work
DLRVJ (more R this time cause there weren't many people in the gym) x some
jump squat x3x3x100 (trap bar)
squat 2x3x280, 4x280
GHR 3x5xbw -- I'm doing these wrong somehow

Cool down
stretch

I'm kind of thinking a sprint plus jumps day, a high-volume jump plus explosive weights day and a low-volume jump plus full body heavy weights day. Some easy tempo or LISS one or two off days. Even a brisk walk would count. Just to get the blood flowing a little. So like

Monday - depth jumps, heavy squats (1 or 2 top sets), heavy lower leg assistance (BSS, DL, step-ups), bench, DB row
Tuesday - LISS/easy tempo
Wednesday - ankle hops, DLRVJs, hurdle jumps, box jumps, SVJs, tuck jumps, etc. (pick three), jump squats, clapping pushups, inverted rows
Thursday - LISS/easy tempo
Friday - rest
Saturday - practice
Sunday - sprints, DLRVJs, core (good that this is on a weekend cause I can do them even if I'm in Baltimore, which I am a lot these days)

Thoughts?

i dno.. i personally would go something like:


Monday - DLRVJ, sprints, heavy squats (1 or 2 top sets), heavy lower leg assistance (BSS OR DL OR step-ups), bodyweight pullups/pushups(or dips) superset, jump-rope

Tuesday - LISS/easy tempo/jump rope

Wednesday - rest

Thursday - ankle hops (however many), DLRVJ, jump squats, heavy upper (seated row/bench whatever, or weighted chins/bench etc, 2-4 exercises with equal push/pull), bodyweight glute stuff, jump-rope or LISS

Friday -  rest

Saturday - practice

Sunday - ankle hops (2x5), SVJ, box jumps, core



so, using your ideas with this setup, you get:
- two rest days
- the same amount of conditioning, but 2 of the conditioning sessions could be at the end of the lifting days (mon/thurs)
- an rested sprint day on monday, before lower body, which ive never seen effect it negatively, instead its usually the opposite
- two lifting sessions instead of one (lower heavy = monday, upper heavy = thurs), but both of those days still have lower/upper work, such as bodyweight exercises for what is not being emphasized


i dno, took me a little bit of time to come up with that because of what you said about sunday, seems like you can't make it to the gym easily on that day so ..

i dno, that's what i'd do.. with your setup i'd want more lifting to maintain that cns stimulus, and less emphasis on a reactive session considering how your knee is.. you still get in reactive work with this but i just cut out dj's for now, could easily put them back in.

hehe peace

Boxing / Mosley v Mayweather Jr

mosley's main problems include his "weak flick jabs" that hang out way too long, his extremely loaded right hands, his thinking he can shoulder roll when he leaves himself open, he carries his right hand way too low when he's engaging, his body jabs are horrible and leave him wide open, he's off balance alot, and his "what the fuck is he doing" defense where his arms just flail all over the place.

pbf is going to have a field day with him, just like gatti.


these are just some stills from round 1 of mayorga/mosley and round 1 of mosley/cotto..
