Default Mr. Jingles' Training Journal

Age: 15
Height: 6'2"
Weight: 153lbs
Standing Reach: 8'0"
Standing Vertical: 25"
Running Vertical: 29"

Squat: 180lbs
Deadlift: 225lbs
Bench Press: 140lbs

I am a lengthy person, but I do not have strong legs, and I still have a decent vertical. I get 1" over the rim when jumping straight up. I feel if I lift all during the off-season I can drastically increase my vertical by next season. I will be playing JV baseball in the spring so I made up a challenging and effective workout for myself 2-3 days a week.

My routine consists of weights and plyos.

Week 1:
Strength:
Split Squats 2x10
Dumbbell Squats 2x10
Pistol Squats 2x10
SL Calf Raises 2x15

Plyos(w/ Jumpsoles):
Slalom Jumps(EL) 3x25
¼ Squat Jumps 2x10
Rim Jumps 2x10

Since I only have 10lb and 15lb dumbbells, I decided to just increase the amount of sets and reps for each exercise. Once baseball season ends and I will be able to go to the weight room, I plan on doing novice weights and plyos until school ends, then bodyweight and intermediate plyos during the summer when I won't have access to the weight room, then once school starts up again I will be doing intermediate full balanced program from VJB.
