Right now I'm better than most in terms of endurance, and not bad at certain aspects of strength(deadlift), but my explosiveness is sorely lacking - my lifts are distinctly non-explosive and my vertical leap is underwhelming. I'd like to change that - specifically improving my vertical leap and lateral agility. Currently I do a mix of strength work(squats/lunges/deadlifts/cleans, upper body pushes/pulls) and running(sprints/intervals, some longer running). 5RM max for squats is 250(with marginal depth), 1RM for Deadlifts is 405 at a BW of 190 lbs, height of 6'6". What I'm wondering is what programming changes would be most conducive to developing explosiveness. MOAR SQUATZ? Focusing on lighter weights but higher velocities? Box Jumps? Something else entirely? I'd really like to improve my vertical leap and am wondering what the most effective approach to this would be.
