LBSS should try harder to do some high bar squats. I did them today ATG (OL shoes definitely helped) and they felt amazing. Such a different leg sensation than the low bar squat, even doing them with a weight like 80 kg like I did today.

I have osgood since 6 or so... it definitely destroyed my chances of being a 2-leg jumper. My right VMO (where I have the condition) is pretty much non existant. No wonder I have all sorts of knee issues.

I think I'm going to switch to high bar squatting for a while and start low. See where that gets me. I hope it will help force some hip flexbility improvements as well as developing the quads better.

I will do this if my knee agrees though.

It depends what your aim is... if you want hypertrophy, less rest is better in order to waste the glycogen reserves and force your body to deposit more (thus increasing you "muscle" size).

Well... it sounds like you're going to need a ton of calf strength and a ton of tendon-based jumping drills. Probably some longer distance sprints/runs as well. Losing UNNECESSARY weight is going to be important to, but you need to decide what you deem as "unnecessary".

The idea is to make you start depending more on the tendons and being able to display power without the need to wind up and load your muscles every time you want to do it. I'm guessing you're really muscle bound now.

It promotes core strength.

Right, that's what I thought.

It promotes prolapses more likely.

I'm not sure I want to know more.

Haha I'm kidding around :P

The question is... what are you trying to obtain with these jumps before actually choosing some exercises?

I'm not clever, therefore I can't help you. Sorry.

I would like your input on single leg jumping exercises none the less.

I really like the "none the less" part.

It's probably a very big difference in terms of TUT and recruitment between me and you.

I actually kinda shy away from TUT and rush to finish my rep as soon as possible with as little TUT (time under tension) as possible, which negates hypertrophy (the lack of TUT). So I'm "after" efficiency (I should be more after TUT if I want to grow these damn quads).

I also probably am more hip dominant with the knees barely going forward (especially as my body automatically does that to protect my right, hurting knee). These are probably the reasons. I also squat very wide usually.

^Agreed, also remember in general my advice is to switch up the way your are squatting.  You have added a bunch of weight to your LBS without VJ carryover (not uncommon) so now try something else.   Olympic squats.  If the bar is that painful on your traps you might have to try front squatting.   You can also invest in one of those blue manta ray things.   We are trying to switch up what you are doing with your legs... don't let trap pain get in the way of that. 

Interesting though that the pain is so severe, maybe some kind of muscle impingement going on?  Or nerve damage?

This^^^ x 100

I'm squatting for 3 years continuously and I'm at 10% of that level of development.
