@WSilva832 True, and also if you have more muscle mass it actually can prevent injury cause you got like stronger "base" there. Example for plyo training athlete should be able to lift at least 1.5 time own bodyweight to be in safe zone for injuries. 2 times own bodyweight would be ideal. And I think that if don't isolate muscles for strength training that's pretty hard to do...

"Why isolate muscles for strength training?" Because muscles work in coordination in relation to each other; some are prime movers, synergistic, antagonists, etc. By isolating muscles ( e.g. triceps, which function as synergist muscles for pressing movements) we can put a heavier load on them than they would receive under 'normal 'conditions.

But basic idea I found out weird.

If you train your legs and get like 10kg more mass. Let's think that theres 2kg muscle and 8kg fat. Then you lose weight, 8.5kg, 0.5kg muscle 8kg fat. You end up be 1.5kg heavier but 1.5kg more muscle in your legs, that 1.5kg is not a lot of weight but as pure muscle it gives you a lot force. Well, when you are that 10kg heavier you won't jump very good, possibly not as good as when you started, but after fat gone you have bigger muscles that gives more power!

I think you should look are you natural jumper or not. Cause if you have good genes to jumping you get more out of plyos, but with a lot of slow muscle fibers you have very very hard time to get it better and once you get hurt your on starting point again.

I think personally that 70-30 is best way. With good genes 70% plyos 30% weight stuff, bad genes other way.
