I have a feeling you're on a good path lately LBSS... I really like the transformation of your training and I think if you keep doing GHRs and keep focusing on jumps etc you will see some effects soon enough. Keep up with the calves as well as your explosive squat gets heavier and heavier.

Speaking of bands... I wonder what something like a powerjumper would do to LBSS if he were to train with it for a while.

That reminds me - I have to start using that thing again.

Yes but one thing you guys don't look at is that in a explosive squat your eccentric phase is also slower than in a jump.

Say you do explosive squats with 285 lbs and you compare these with standing vertical jumps with your bodyweight. The eccentric phase in the squats is so much slower than in a SVJ done at the same depth of the dip, and that slower eccentric in the squat allows the build-up of tension and the recruitment of more motor neurons than in a SVJ.

And since that is happening, you can actually target all these motor neurons and overload them in the concentric phase (since they are already activated) and make them act more explosively than in a SVJ where you can't get all these motor neurons to fire.

You can mess around with grease the groove pistol squat and king deadlifts.

Also, if it's convenient and you can carry something with you, you could get a kettlebell and do KB swings.

But the pistol squats (even box versions of them) - you can do them anywhere. Pushups and one-arm pushups - anywhere. Chinups - on any "bar"... crunches and planks... anywhere.
