are your "drop jumps" depth jumps? or depth drops? i'm assuming depth drops, i hate how people have referred to them as jumps if it's just a drop lol.. if it's drops, then ya, i'd keep them in their place.. if they are depth jumps, i'd put them after jump rope, giving them priority.

i'd still go with some extra reactive work on mon/fri, short sprints + (pogos and/or halftucks).. that'll give you some nice extra work at improving that reactive/explosive strength.

peace man

Sorry, Depth drops. I always get the names wrong.

I will definately add some pogos. (frank Yang style)

I live in seattle and with the rain/ winter it is hard to get sprints in.

IMO their main importance is from a postural perspective and femoral control. Basically if the hip flexors are weak the glutes can't do their job becuase the hips aren't set in a way that primes the glutes optimally and the TFL tends to take over in hip flexion.  It's common in people with a naturally flat ass. Strengthen their hip flexors and all the sudden the posture of the hips changes and the glutes are more easily engaged. The relative size and strength of the psoas in black people is significantly greater than whites.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

www.usaid.gov

WASHINGTON, DC - Today, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) suspended the Academy for Educational Development (AED) from receiving new U.S. Government awards pending an ongoing investigation by the USAID Office of Inspector General (OIG). Initial findings by USAID's OIG reveal evidence of serious corporate misconduct, mismanagement, and a lack of internal controls, and raise serious concerns of corporate integrity.

The investigation was initiated in the spring of 2009 and OIG informed USAID of its findings this summer.

USAID took this suspension action in response to substantiated evidence of misconduct by AED. The Agency takes seriously any allegations involving the mismanagement of U.S. Government funds. USAID is conducting a review of every program associated with AED. The review will determine the best steps forward for ensuring the protection of U.S. taxpayer funds and the continuity of the United States' development goals. USAID will continue to work closely with OIG during its investigation.
