Squat Jumps

Max effort jumps with 95 pounds of metal on my back. Still, roughly 12" in the air.

can these work for putting some mass on the quads as well?

[ATL45]

i doubt it, but maybe. it mostly depends on how much you eat.

but so far as exercise choice influences muscle gain, these explosive types of movements are not as good as something like a squat or deadlift.

[ATL45]

they can be done rhythmically, or they can be done with a reset between repetitions. this particular set was intended to work on my starting strength more than my reactive strength.

there's alot to be learned, I'm staying tuned. Not sure what wave-loading is, but I'm sure I'll find out.

[ATL45]

wave loading is alternating between high/medium or medium/low loads for a specific exercise within a rokout. the heavier sets activate lots of muscle fibers, so your performance is higher than it would usually be on the lighter sets. you feel a lot "springier", even when you go back to another heavy set.

Would you like some squat with your jump?

[kappkids]

dude you need to squat down much more than that... you should pretty much stop going down when it feels like you have sat down in a chair and then explode back up

[superman0951]

what %rm should i go with these and how many sets /reps?

[novizenj]

need two different types of training to increase verticals

first you need to get strenghten your quads hamst and calves

not bulk them up just get strenght

never forget that you dont need to squat 400 lbs to jump 30 inch

by doing split squats one leg balanced romanian dead lifts bodyweight one leg calf raises help you to strenghten them

second convert it to power using

plyometrics and power training

squat jumps are important part of power training

its like 2 pounds and u jumpede like 2 inches

[levigarret]

yeah if you put some "real" weight on then you would be putting real damage to your knees and back. plyometrics is intended for power, not strength. power is developed through controlled reps done at a consistent and often rapid pace. the quality of the reps and pace which they are done at are what count, not the quantity of the weight. so get that through your thick skull before you ruin your tendons and ligaments by using 200 pounds for squat jumps or something stupid like that.

Good set but those are sup[pose to be done continiuosly without rest.
