One of the worst "plyo videos" I have ever seen. Seriously. What you do out there is just "anti-athletic". Sorry.

Damn, these roids do a thing or two about your athleticism. I should really try some instead of wasting time with useless training.

I wear compression thigs (from the hips all the way down the entire leg) pretty much all the time except for Summer when playing. They keep your legs warm and give you some proprioceptive feedback when moving around so you're more aware of the body/move a bit better.
No idea about recovery.

I don't think you'd be able to do Smolov anyway, going from 5x7 Friday to 10x3 Saturday, the next day, with a very heavy weight? Downright impossible.

I'll never do calorie calculations and all that. I'll just cut down sugars and do a bit more cardio. It should take care of itself from that point. Wherever I go from that, I go.

Well because I feel like the time for cutting hasn't come yet. I'm just gathering info/preparing for that, but I'd like to continue to increase my squat. And the plan was after my linear progression fails to do Smolov and then cut, but Smolov looks impossible.

Just inputed 150 as my 1RM here: http://www.joeskopec.com/smolov.html
For that, I'm supposed to do Friday 7x5x120 and then THE NEXT DAY 10x3x128 ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
And then the next week 7x5x130 AND THEN THE NEXT DAY 10x3x138 ?!?!?!?!?!
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? After 7x5x130 they expect me to do be able to do 10x3x138 the next fucking day? WTF is wrong with these people?
Even with the 1RM set to 140 that's still a lot of "impossible" work there. And then they say "Take a 3 week break from squat work, test your NEW RM, enter it in the box below and continue with the program". 3 week break from squat work? WTF

By the way - does it make sense at my current strength level and experience to go with Smolov or Smolov JR before beginning my cut down phase?

What about high bar quad driven squats vs low bar hip driven squats for athleticism (read - for specificity). Some say high bar is better since there's more emphasis on quads and the quads are more important in terms of jumping and athleticism in general since they can decelerate you, help a ton with the amortization phase in a jump, help you stop on a dime, help will all kinds of movements. Sure Rippetoe comes in saying that if you can already front squat, why waste time with another quad oriented squat like the high bar squat and not go with low bar hip oriented.
Does anybody buy into any of that?
Should a guy that can't/don't want to front squat go with a high bar squat to prevent the quad from "being ignored" as there'll be less emphasis with a low bar squat on quad development/focus/tension etc etc?
