I'll tuck that into the bodyweight repetoire. Breakthrough and conquer! I like the way you’re developing the explosiveness with the jumps from the knees.

We do a maximum of 20 jumps before leg work and sometimes as low as 10 jumps prior to leg work

Also, these guys were doing sets of 3 – 5 reps in the squat and their last were singles

but, RARELY do our guys hit singles, only those who have been training here for a few years and are physically ready for singles

even then, I still prefer sets in the 3 – 5 rep range when moving big weights

the other leg work they did that day, AFTER the box squats was:

2A) glute ham raise 3 x max reps
2B) double Kettlebell Cleans 3 x 10 reps

3) sled drags 2 x 200′

4) prowler run 1 x 200′

so you can see we get the reps in through the other movements and the sled work.

hope that helps bruddah!

Everytime I play basketball and train legs the next day my training always suffers. But will try this vertical jump thing on my next leg day! Also, when using jump training before legs, does it make a difference if you're squatting singles like in the vid or sets of say 5-7? Hey Zach,

I totally see a difference in explosive level change in my judo and submission wrestling. I got revenge at a Judo tournament this past weekend with this mofo that stopped me from getting on the podium a few months ago. I dropped right under him, a guy that is at least four inches shorter than me, with a nice firemen's carry. Many people focus on leg explosion going up but not to change levels going down. I think drop snatch is the only excerise that is comparable. I have been doing kneeling jumps in my circuits for awhile now.

I used to do this exericse before I would hang clean. As you say it would help me prepare for the violent technique that is required for power lifting.. Awesome! Yea!
