Do you intend to go up again in bodyweight and improve your strength even more? More bodyweight is not that bad for SVJ purposes.

Heck, everything is great, not just that.
I really like what he said with one-leg jumping, that "isometric-explosive" part. Nobody ever talks about that and I've said that first I think about 9 years ago, that the one-leg jump is more isometric in nature (keeping the leg rigid).

This^^^
We'll see how this gain in half squat strength/speed correlates with your jumps in the near future.

I should write again and say "he's still at 60% bodyfat, he needs to lose some" and see what he responds. If he says I'm right again, then he's not at 20%

Well it's more to it than just bodyweight. Due to the effects a lot of bodyfat have on your posture, you will load the muscles/tendons/joints differently than without that much bodyfat. But yeah, he's not "that" fat.

Don't ever do this again. And focus on lowering your bodyfat and nothing else.

You should forget about all this ^^^ and focus on reducing bodyfat. You're both wasting your time and destroying your body/joints jumping at that bodyfat %.

I want to start doing plyos starting this next week but I also want to reach a 150x5 squat. I was at 140x4 the last time I squatted.
So I don't know what to do. I should be fine with the chezkenny protocol with 2 strength days and 2 speed days per week of LOW volume strength work (1x5 in the squat, bench and deadlift for the strength days and 9x3 with light weights in the half squat and bench + cleans in the speed days).
Is reaching 150x5 realistic considering these factors? I did get to 140x5 the last time I did this protocol but probably due to the high frequency squatting.
Also, do you people think it's OK as far as fatigue generation goes for plyo work (I'll be rested enough to do plyos?).
IMO it should work but I want to hear other opinions.

I use the same nomenclature. Naming LLLL for "only left leg bounds" regardless if I did just two or ten steps. That's just because it's unusual (never used) a LLLL and then suddenly a R in the same bounding exercise. So if I do 4 L then it's all L.
