Monster. Nice job dude. I second the plyometric suggestion if you are looking to increase your vert.
You’re strength is unreal, and your vert is nearly a foot higher than mine… but your body is a adaptation engine. It gets good at the stuff it feels it needs to do a lot. If you work in a weekly session with plyos, bodyweight jumps, single leg squats (pistols), etc… Your body will become more efficient at it and your vertical should improve.
That being said, I think the phrase “those who can’t do, teach.” comes to mind when a guy with a little over 30" vert gives pointers to a kid with a vert in the 40’s.

alright forsure, you got a specific routine for plyos I could try? I never really did them. (on purpose anyways)
Awesome log dude. Will def be following and learning. Crazy how disproportionate your deadlift is to everything else. If you dont have it to a grand before 20 you’re slacking.

How is your squat training set up? I’ve just started up some high frequency squatting myself but what you’re doing looks insane. Great lifts btw![/quote]
If I feel good to squat and I don’t need to do upper body lol just pop some squats out. lol
Here’s a site that has awful .gifs of various lower-body plyo’s you can try:
This sounds simple, but sport specific training (like jump training, to train for jumping) should be SPORT SPECIFIC. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen people who leap from one leg in ball, do nothing but two-legged plyometric exercises like box jumps and the like. If you are like me and almost never go off two feet, then train single-leg plyos.
We did this one where you set up like you’re about to do a split squat (left leg forward, right back with slight knee bend), then you swing your right leg up and forward explosively and jump off your left. It’s like skipping in place, except the emphasis on going up not forward. Switch legs and do another one with the opposite leg, thats a rep.
In essence if you jump off one leg, you should train for it. Sounds really simple but you would be surprised how many simple things don’t get done.
