^ Nah , im fine with lunges , i even like them except from the grip failure part. Was a bit short on time too that day.

PS : Quoting the reminder's headline together with the lunges log = mystery!  :ninja:

This^^^

We'll see how this gain in half squat strength/speed correlates with your jumps in the near future.

^I'd say that this year's strength block main feature was not half squats but full squats. My ME day's goal was to improve my 5RM full squat , halfs were supplementary all year long. I did PR on halfs with 352x3 but i stopped doing them next workout , to go with deeper ones ( barely above parallel )  , then i stopped those too and went to parallel box squats.
That's why im very interested to see what will happen this year , because all the other years the strength-training was half-squat-based.

^ Probably not much. It seems that hamstrings and glutes are engaged and firing ok in all actions ( weight room and sports ).
P-chain is strong , i am able to do 8x253 RDLs when i struggle to go bellow parallel squat for 5x242.
I do have big and strong quads , but i think they are not masking glutes and hams ( that's what i have in mind as quad dominance ).

I'm still dissapointed I haven't seen a one leg jump from you for quite some time... you had a thing going on with that. I don't get why you don't practice it more... speaking of which, what about calf development and strength?

^You haven't seen any jumps actually , haven't had a ME jumps session for ~4months until last week.
Calves are big and strong , i hit them  twice per week , 3x15@90kg / 4x8@95kg with deep ROM.
SLRVJs: face it, i am a DL jumper. Even when i am cutting and get below 85kg and lean and hit some 30-31 SLRVJs , DLRVJ is at 34-35. Also SLRVJs cause a huge stress on my shins , can't afford frequently training them. I think we had that same chat again.

But your form looked good and you were much closer to dunking with the ball in hand than off two feet the last time you attempted one-leg jumps.

Form is good and i enjoy SLRVJs, i just get higher with DLRVJs , is quite as simple.

What you are refering to never happened , what really happened is this:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/progress-journals-experimental-routines/vag%27s-journal-age-vs-vertical/msg63563/#msg63563

Its was my best SLRVJ day ever , and a bad DLRVJ day , yet i jumped 32'' DLRVJ while SLRVJ was at 30''.
Even that day i missed all SLRVJ dunk attempts while i dunked off 2 feet , single and double handed.

Scroll that page up and see that 1 week before that i had 35'' DLRVJ:
http://www.adarq.org/forum/progress-journals-experimental-routines/vag%27s-journal-age-vs-vertical/msg63189/#msg63189

Sorry to ruin your dream...  :'(
