Hey CoolColJ,
I've been reading some of your journal--it looks like you know what's up as far as training for explosiveness and power goes. Recently I've decided I'd like to put some of my strength to work by improving my vertical. Unfortunately, I'm not very proficient in the olympic lifts, and I don't really have any way by which to learn them properly.
To give you an idea of where I'm at, I'm 6' and weigh about 195lbs. I can squat close to double bodyweight (365x1, 345x3) so I should have the requisite strength to start using some plyos, etc. My current vertical seems to be around 26-28 inches.
I'm not really looking to change my training a whole lot, I'm more looking for something I could do in addition to my training program. I currently train with a customized program that takes principles from a variety of programs--Polinquin's 1x6, Madcow's 5x5, etc. The basic idea is 2xweek frequency, progressive resistance, high intensity, moderate volume, with occasional deloading periods. I feel like I have enough energy to do some vertical training in addition to the weights, especially because I only squat once per week.
Anyone want to help me out?
