u mean u would rest? in all honesty i was just showing some form to a couple of juniors going to a combine this weekend and did a few jumps.

[JJEB2]

i knew i should have just kept doing plyos like i usually do instead of ****in working on just form. **** that form isnt that hard. the plyos helped my shit get up there.

what kind of plyos were u doing, thats why we dont take one day and just focus on the vj

[JJEB2]

no need to lie bro

hahah i really am not. thats how i know the kid with the miami program is doing so well. they asked me how to do bj and vj and i showed them on the bball hoop. i was completely cold and i only could get 3 or 4 inches above teh rim and my reach is 7'7 so i put two and two together.

[JJEB2]

box jumps, depth jumps, hurdle jumps, bounding, jumping on high boxes, weighted box jumps... i had a pretty good routine going.

damn good plyos moves, myself i hate doing lots of low intensity plyos.

[JJEB2]

my favorites are the high box jumps. i would use the stacks that the cardio bunnies use. i would stack up and work up doing sets ending up alittle below my chest and i would work on bringing up my hips and catching myself on the box. it did numbers on my vertical bc u really had to explode with the hands and legs to get up on the box.

[buckeyefootball4]

have you always had a high vj or is it something you worked hard for.

so u r 36-38 when u do the tha plyo program

[JJEB2]

when i went into my freshmen year i hit a team high 36" vert and that was doing a plyo day every once ina great while and it wasnt even intense. all iw as doing was squattin. no explosive lifts. nothing of that nature. i lifted like a bb bc this was 5 years ago and i was lost.

then i had a 32 comming straight out of ball with no plyo work and right out of the season.

about 12 weeks ago i tested on a pad and not a vertex at 33 without doing my program since 2 months before that. i started to do plyos and now it is down but so is my leg strength.

about 6-7 weeks ago i was at 36-37. i felt good. my legs felt good and i had a spring in my step.

[JJEB2]

the 32 comming out of season was last year after the football season.

lot of up and down.

[JJEB2]

so my plyo workout was sufficient enough?

now since i am two week sout should i just do away with plyos this and next week or should i just continue up until the combine and continue after for the next combine?

you should probably drop all high intensity plyos 2 week outs

[JJEB2]

so on the snatch grip dl day should i take out the complex training/explosive movements?

those jumps are not high int, but i would drop complex training also, so yes drop it

[buckeyefootball4]

i would probably just do 10 vj jump everyday spread through out.

sounds good

[JJEB2]

i am really concerned about this so i am gonna try to arch my back and put my ass out so i get a lower reach. it actually gives u a inch and a half.

i never heard of that one, only the retraction of the shoulder blades

[JJEB2]

i will try to explain it but i actually tested it myself.

its just like ur first movement when u squat. ur hips go back almost like u are pushing out ur ass. u arch ur back and push the belly out. this creates a huge difference.

what is the method that u learned?

when they take your reach just try and pull your shoulder blades back and it will give you 1-2in by creating a shorter reach.

[JJEB2]

when i do it i get severe pain in my lower and center of my back. its hard to detect as well esp withj teh shirts they will give us

yea i figured it out by the retraction part but i just did them both combined and i got 3 inches or so hahah. this actually makes me feel better.

damn 3in, hope u can get away with it, i think u will

the scapular retraction got me a whole 2 inches bro. that shit really works.

[buckeyefootball4]

off topic i just remember that my friend said the week of the combine that mon which is the last speed day the vol should be 75% of the other days, dont u think thats alot.

[buckeyefootball4]

the scapular retraction got me a whole 2 inches bro. that shit really works.

thats bout right and its easy to get away with.

[JJEB2]

so say u do a volume of 300 on avg then it should be at around 225. that is alot higher than what u had urs at. because on avg u had yours around 320 so 75 of that is 240. so thats a whole 50 yards more than where you were at.

i dont think its alot bc u have so much rest really. i am gonna keep mine in that range.
