Now that you haven't been squatting 405s and higher, is your SVJ still 40?  And lol at those monster calves, you should try out for NFL safety.

you are one weird dude.

Low Pull - Re starting. Will only do low pulls as the high pull kills my rear delts
- 75lb x5

* rear delts are ok. chins up to 10+ reps again.
* calf raises starting with 495 feeling mid-heavy now, and the 585s don't feel as heavy. must make sure that on 585s, i allow a little upper back rounding at the start because trying to maintain an all upright torso will only make it worst for the lower back - the upper back will round no matter what, but if it rounds abruptly (if trying to maintain a very upright torso), it will take the lowerback with it. best to just give it a bit of rounding at the start and just maintain that form.

* calves got a bit beat from this morning. took longer rests. the squat warmup with 315x4 felt very easy now, x6-8 possible. stopped at 365x1 before the weight starts to get heavyish.
* might need to cut back on calf work tmrw and get recovery going. will go 385/405x1 on squats if i take it easy with calf work. i like how 585 looks on the bar. thing is bent. i have bruise on 3 spots now - even the shoulder bones on the sides is starting to take the beating. feels like the bar just found a way to wrap itself to my upperback.

What is your squatting plan? Will you go heavy soon? Will it be daily again? Maybe with a bulk?
Also. how did daily squating 405 affect your jumping over the course of that year and how does the current 'deload-rest' phase seem to affect it?

- keep daily squats to ~ 315x4, 365x1 with 1-2x/week 405/425x1..... until i stop gaining on my calf work. might be possible to get to 585x10s at the rate i'm progressing right now.

- daily squats with 405 did not really affect my SVJs as i am used to near-peak jumping after a squat session anyway. i can still SVJ 2-hand dunk which puts me in the very high 30s/low 40s. i also find that at a wet BW of sub 172, i jump highest.

- the squat de-load is just a way for me to blast my calf raises, so jumping is going to be the same.

* nearing my calf work goals with the multi 10s using 585s. clusters of 4-4-2 with seconds in between to reset. would max right now at 6-8 continuous reps but will really require me to push with back/arms to get to full top ROM - will be too tiring.
* the 315x4 starting warmup set is getting me some WTF looks..  my squat warmup is very efficient now. 5 mins and i'm done. 
* i'm getting very comfortable with the x4 rep range but i haven't tested multi 4s in a while. if i were to do a squat volume work with the same daily frequency, IMO my best approach right now is a cluster of doubles up to 40 total reps a workout, 2x/day starting with 345s.

Hey, what other plyo's did you do that helped you reach 40 svj?  I know you've done depth jumps, but are there any others that supplemented to your training?  thanks.

The best plyo to help him reach 40+ SVJ was 440lbs paused ATG squats.

that and a couple of SVJs here and there worked well.. deceivingly simple.

Apparently you know better than kingfish himself...

* calf training found another forward gear. lol. the 495x10 first set did not feel heavy at all. decided to go 585 after a single 495x10.  585s also felt lighter. 40 reps and still felt fresh. did 635 and was still able to get x2 with the holds. x4 max with that but don't want to do more than 2 because the whole setup feels like i'm one error away from snapping something. the bar felt sharp but still not prohibitively heavy. 675s (7x45s) are still within reach.
