Hi Lurch

the best thing to do is just follow the program. More training isn't necessarily going to translate into quicker gains. Quite possibly more training willr educe your gains. If anything focus more on your recovery. Get more sleep. Take afternoon naps if you can. Really focus on your diet and avoid eating too much junk. Make sure you take the time to do the stretching. Get a sports massage if you can as it will help ease out the muscle soreness. Maybe do some work on your actual jumping technique to improve your co-ordination and the ease of whcih you jump.

Ath advantage is reasonably taxing and does a lot of work on the CNS which takes a bit longer than the msucles to fully recover. So don't gett too carried away doing a whole bunch of training.
