No you need to gain some weight your a really skinny. Gain some weight by building some more muscle on your legs.

Sample workout A
_________________
Squat 5X5
Lunge 3X5
Dead lift 1X5

Sample workout B
___________________
Box Squat 5X5
Glute ham raise 3X5
Calf raise 3X15 (on 2 weeks off 2 weeks)

Just a sample routine to boost your lower body strength. Add in plyo's and you'll be good.

You need strength training not more plyos.

Yea, but you can't make explosive strength without having strength. There's also other ways to get explosive strength like jump squats and stuff like that.

Wrong I believe. Plyos among other things train SSC, reduce inhibition effects.. The reactive property of muscles and tendons help you produce force. You want explosive strength? Sit on a box and relax. Then jump up from that position onto a high platform The ability to voluntarily turn on as many muscles fibres (and keep them on) is real explosion. Train RFD after/as foundation of strength is developed. Use plyos you enhance performance further in a sports environment.
