adarq, considering you got up to a pretty impressive RVJ (36 inches i believe?) , How much higher do you think you could have reached. Considering IMO you didnt even come close to maximizing your squat/lower body strength, you obviously werent any where close to peaking...?
i got ~39 for MAX.. I hit ~35-36 in front of adam, on some warmup jumps before it started raining, at this court in sunrise. I hit 36" on vertec also, I just never dropped vid because you couldn't see it move, but I have a pic. I was jumping alot higher months after that, in relation to rim jumps. I didn't have vertec then cause I had quit MSC.
Well, I had to be very careful pushing up my squat because of my lower back injury from way back so.. But I did get 325 for a single or whatever, above parallel, in my squatting style, during my last high frequency block. I'd say I was pretty close to peaked because training was taking alot out of me, if I relaxed on my training my RVJ would drop fast.
Also, i have a sacral spine issue, which gets aggravated.. I technically need surgery on it, some big operation.. So, when my glutes grow like crazy, it aggravates it bad and I can barely sit down etc, this mostly happened when my stepups/lunges were going up like crazy, but it did happen on squat too, such as when i hit 255-265x5 after all my 20 rep squatting sessions. 20 rep squats also f'd it up.
So I had crap I had to work around... :/ I don't think i could have gotten much higher due to the fact that I always had to work around something.. injuries + sacral spine thing really kept me from going at it hardcore.. that's why i did shit like frequency etc, trying to find other ways to peak my power without having to focus on lifting heavy with so much volume.
