Jumps:

5 SVJs

5x2 DSVJs (warming up for the RVJs)

4 DLRVJs (30 secs rest b/w)

4 SLRVJs (30secs rest b/w)

Good session today. I had played a full game of soccer prior (wasn't planning on doing that but this team at work needed players so I helped out), I wasn't nearly at 100% but I was still getting up pretty well. So happy to have found an indoor court I can use at work now.

Jumps 2:

4 SVJs

8 DSVJs

5 DLRVJs

4 SLRVJs

Jumps were good today, better than a few days ago. I was hanging off the ring from a drop-step, which I've never done before.  Hoping after resting up this week I can go for some PRs.

Well compared to my usual parallel depth squats they're pretty easy, feels like as soon as you go down a bit, you're already coming back up. The reps were fairly intense individually but I didn't feel tired or anything afterwards. Made my legs feel really ready for jumping though.

For me, half squats are terribly hard. I find it very difficult to reverse the movement at that depth. No wonder my two footed jumps suck.

Yeah I think if I had done an extra 10kgs they would have been a lot harder. I find that going full ATG is sometimes a little easier than a parallel depth with the same weight because you can use the momentum going down to rebound back up a bit. Obviously a paused full squat would be super hard but I've never really done them before.

I did paused full squats before but 120 kg is challenging (vs my usual 130-140 range I use for normal full squats). You also need to pay attention to not relax when you pause... I have this tendency to relax when I stop there at the bottom and it's very dangerous.

6 SLRVJs - highest:

Pretty happy with the jumps today, I think my best SVJ was around 34'' and SLRVJ around 37'' which would both be  :personal-record: s. My reach in those shoes is 228cm and the ring was 10', so hitting wrist at the rim for me is 7'' which works out to be 323cm - 228cm = 95cm or 37''. My DLRVJs weren't as good, couldn't get my run-up right but still OK height-wise, maybe around 34-5''. I think this block I've been doing has been working for me so I'm gonna try another cycle or two and see how it goes.

Looking great ^^^

In the one leg jump, if you could use more speed you'd get much higher. You got a lot of hip involvement there.

In the SVJ try to get your arms behind you and use a double arm swing. You're just opening the chest now IMO.

Thanks man, yeah looking at the videos again my SVJ form wasn't actually that good. I think I jumped well because I had good rest, rather than good technique. And my SLRVJ is still a work in progress, but at least I've got room to improve on 37''.

Week 1 - ON/volume

Gym

Squat (full today): 2x6@60kgs (warmup), 2x6@120kgs, 2x5@140kgs

Calf raise: 1x20@110kgs, 2x20@160kgs

BSS: 3x7-8/leg@25kgs

Dumbbell shoulder press: 3x12-14@12.5kgs*2

I went easy-ish on the squat weight because my legs are still pretty fatigued from a few days ago but decided to increase volume this week and also test my hips out and go full depth. Had a little bit of hip pain at first but it went away pretty quick and I had no problems finishing.

This is what this 3wk block will look like (based it on Joel Smith's old SLRVJ jump cycle):

Week 1 - ON\Volume
Week 2 - ON\Power (less rep/more weight/intensity than week 1)
Week 3 - OFF\Rest/peaking

Damn you'll be jumping 40 inches soon! Nice progress.

It's easier to keep up than it is to catch up...

Nice jumps, looking really good.

I think your screenshot for the SLRVJ is not your highest point. Looks like you're coming down a bit as you touch the rim...anyone else see it?
