I've been squatting for a couple of months; currently in a higher-rep, lower weight phase for conditioning (~60% 1RM, 4 x 20, and moving up to ~70%, 4x10 for the next 3 week phase) . Someone has suggested squat jumps for improving explosive power (a weak area of mine).
1) What would the recommended no of reps & sets be, at ~20% 1RM, if the squat jumps are done before the squats themselves?
2) would proper plyometrics (with the appropriate build up), such as depth jumps, be a 'better' addition to the squats, than squat jumps?
thanks :-)
