By the way - I need an alternative for this since I can't bound on my right leg due to knee issues. So that's not possible. I can bound LLLL but any landing on the right now flares the thing up and pain comes. I might be able to do LLRR though, but LRLR is undoable due to lack of technique.
I was wondering if max jumps and long jumps could be substituted with some of the one leg bounds.
Also, the plan is the use the weight vest for actual dunks.

This might be your best athletic day... I mean, depth jumps, jump squats and (very) strong half squats. It's gotta be.

I think you still might have a masked explosiveness if you have been training for long enough with strength only... you can never know.
Also, you might jump higher after 15-20 minutes of aggressive 3 on 3 basketball.

I think I can work up to a 5RM but eliminate the additional volume sets without too much fatigue.
And yes, I meant squat every day but in very low volumes (one top set of half squats).

Exactly ^^^
That's why I want to cut down on squatting as of right now. I have plenty of time to squat in the winter when I don't do anything else at all since it's snow outside and I don't have a gym to play into.
It makes sense to cut down on squats right now therefore, maybe just squat every day VERY low volumes and do some KB swings and that's it.

What I meant is - right now I want to ENJOY what I worked half a year or so for. That is - true jumping and not fatigue masked low performance jumping. It's like "inseason" for me at this point. So it doesn't make sense to go all out with squatting only to go to the park and suck hard at dunking and playing ball.
I don't see any other option. I can still squat in very low volumes everyday so that hopefully helps me. Heck, it might even increase my squat if I'm overtrained or if I'm really a hardgainer.

Interesting, although I had protein powder coming through my esophagus while squatting, so...

Well in the past the shock and collapse would've happen in the VMO area. Right now the shock and feeling of weakness when the collapse occurs happens in the lower part of the hamstring of the left leg (I can feel the part just above the knee stiffen up and giving up and the knee goes forward). So interestingly enough, the quad doesn't feel overload but instead that ^^^ happens.
So, like I said, maybe the hamstring contracts eccentrically to prevent hip collapse and as the hamstring contracts the quad needs to relax - and this leads to the knee going forwards.
Because the hip can collapse too (get too low) and maybe that's happening. No idea if I'm right or not.
Lance was hinting towards the hamstring not being able to maintain the same length during the plant if I'm right but still, what does that have to do with the knee? Maybe if the hamstring contracts more on the knee end then knee flexion occurs and that's it - the knee goes forward and collapses into the jump.

Well the be honest, when I started squatting at the end of the autumn the previous year, in 2010, the plan was to squat ~6 months, then do some plyos to maximize my strength into explosiveness and then enjoy basketball. And I'm kinda at the "enjoy basketball" moment right now.
Although vag is right when he says it's pretty hot right now... I tend to jump very high when it's very hot though.
