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.
