You had a really loooong and a bit to the side penultimate step, interesting. I think going a bit to the side is your way of lowering the center of gravity a bit more.
Current PR status:

All time squat: 165 kg/Old age squat: 130 kg
All time deadlift: 184 kg/Old age deadlift: 140 kg
All time bench: 85 kg/Old age bench: 70kgx5reps
All time hip thrust (same as old age hip thrust): 160kgx5reps

Yeah I have been working on getting the penultimate step longer, when I do it usually gets me higher. Still need to get those arms swinging more though.

What if you get your penultimate LOWER instead of longer? It might be better as there will be less breaking effect due to length, that is currently occuring.

It's a good question. I need to do some experimentation to see if it's a LOW penultimate step or a LONG penultimate step that's causing the slight knee buckling I've been having. I thought maybe it as because I was going too deep but maybe not

A long penultimate usually will mean a low penultimate as well. It's in the search of "low" that you do that long step, and pretty much everybody else does IMO. If you reach out with your leg forward you will automatically lower your center of gravity as well.

Jumps - court

Played some pick-up ball today for about 2hrs, beforehand I went to the courts early to do some stuff:

Full-court sprints

6 DSVJs

4 SVJs

6 DLRVJs

Then a few SLRVJs but they really sucked...I got a bit of knee-to-knee contact last time I played and my left knee's pretty bruised. Made it hard to max out on them cos trying to get low before take-off aggravated it a bit. Still a good work-out though.

Jumps/track -weekend

Just did heaps of drop-step jumps at 10', getting really high, prob around 33.5''. Really getting addicted to drop-step jumps.

Also tried for my sub-12 sec 100m goal, had three attempts but just missed it --> 12.2, 12.1, 12.5. Definitely need to do some more conditioning, my top-end speed is pretty good but I just fade near the end cos I don't run them regularly any more.

Gym - time-limited

Bench: 1x8@70kgs, 3x5-6@90kgs, 1x6@70kgs

Squat: 1x8@70kgs, 3x7-8@100kgs, 1x8@70kgs
