You are too far to the right. (edit: you are the heavy resistance trained line). Jump squats <50%, cleans, and depth jumps/pogos/broadjumps for 3 weeks. Deload for 1wk if necessary. Full ROM deep jump squats with 60-80% to maintain strength in all ROM, box squats, and continued depth jumps for another 3 weeks after a deload. You'll go up a few inches.

hahaha your dog is awesome I want to chase it.

At 49 sec gizmo jumps OVER the other dog. That's more like jedi status imo.

Looks like your' on a power phase. Kinda like me, except I might go strength again soon.

You didn't squat heavy like you said you would in your plan on Mondays. I think this is because secretly, you don't "feel" like it. As crazy as it sounds, once you start doing really fast high RFD exercises, the desire to perform slow lifting quickly vanishes. SO I'd stick with jump squats and or 1/2 squats.

However, say you do heavy slow squats Monday. I'll strongly suspect they will in some way screw up your bounding two-three days later, because they create a slow-quad dominant motor pattern, whereas bounding is just so different than lifting it needs to be trained in bulk with the absence of lifting imo. Tell me if I'm wrong though, for me it's just strikingly obvious. For standing bounds, strength training can improve them, but for 3-4 step introduction bounds, it doesn't help at all, even 1 workout can slow me down a little.

This is what I have come to over the past 5-6 months. But more research neesd to be done.

As far as the deadlifts, you can probably maintain it and do it infrequently, once every 3-4 weeks and still see strength gains. Other than that, bounding will work your glutes, but got strength, go with single leg DLs with your back toes on the ground for balance and support, but infrequently, for the RFD issue. Dumbells work fine. I think the cleans though will hit your glutes more than enough.

Occasionally, as in rarely, I go in the pool do do scissor swimming (don't know what else to call it). On my side, I just forcefully scissor, kind of like bounding actually, and then I relax after each one as my body propels itself forward. This works out my hamstrings pretty well. Can do it on your back too but you dont scissor, ou just do a forceful kick like a dolphin or a frog.. i dno how to describe it.  

I's basically swimming's equivalent of "striding" in sprints, whre you just take long powerful strides and don't worry aobut runnign as fast as you can.

Other than that I don't do them because I don't have any weight but if I could get a kettlebell or a squat rack in there and do some deads and front squats and jump squats it's be way better. Has anyone deadlifted in a pool before? That would be my new favorite. I would neevr deadlift on the ground again if I could deadlift in a pool. edit: well sorta

I've done those vandersteen squats, but only in a half squat position. Again without weight I didn't feel like maknig a routine out of them.

I used to train in the cold in boston, but if it snowed too much that meant no sprinting. With a little snow/slush we still ran hills in track and field. I don't know how to answer your question though, just bundle up I guess, wear thick socks.

Squatting in a garage is definitely not as bad as sprinting in some really cold weather, since you're still indoors.

THe other day I ran sprints into a headwind in relatively cold weather 40 degrees, and it sucked. So it made me angrier and that may have helped my workout. But it also stressed me out a tiny bit. So maybe the cold can make you angrier too

got damn that was a shitty video. He has a shitty vert and isn't ready for depth jumps from that height

i won't elaborate too much, but you do have to sacrifice RFD for strength and max strength for RFD sometimes so once you realize that, you see how jumping all the time isn't necessary, it will come in the end. It may even be detrimental in too high of a quantity in you're on a strength phase but your note probably is just to enforce that motor pattern. I've came upon this b/c I think RFD competes for strength so if you try to do both at the same time, it's just really hard fr the nervous system to pick which one to adapt to.

are you ever gonna go into a power phase?
