Hey Andrew,
long time no post but always checking out logs which are great; keep it up!
thanks man, i definitely will.
um
i only have a trap bar at home and was thinking of doing this for ME singles 3 times a week
combined with either hurdle jumps (duct tape bamboo to a tripod which i can adjust works great)
then other 3 days reverse lunges with 40kg/48kg double kettlebells (singles/doubles etc) with a broad jump.
Always try to up the BJ and hurdle jump distance.
Do you think trap deadlifts would work good for this? i dont have a squat rack.
Also how do you think heavy single front squats to parallel would be in terms of benefits compared to the half squats you do?
peace
jon
i'm confused, you want to do heavy singles on trap bar 3x/week AND reverse lunge 3 other days? so 6 total sessions? sorry if i misread..
front squats are AMAZING for vert.. i prefer them over back squat or half squat, it's just they are hard as hell to do imo, most people really find them to be brutal.. they really kill my upper back, put knots in it etc, so thats why i don't do them.. but if you can do them fine, i'd implement them.. i'd try to break parallel on front squat, but if you can't, parallel would be fine.. i wouldn't do any half squat front squats.
trap bar singles would work great.. any form of singles training works great, it just teaches the body to GO HARD THEN RELAX, which is what we see in every athletic cyclinc/acyclic movement... singles can be done on pullup/chinup, squat, trap bar, deadlift, dips, depth drops, oly's, & bench press.
that bamboo/tripod idea is really cool.
peace man
