    What stage are you at with regular weight / strength training?

    E.g. How much weight are you squatting / deadlifting / leg pressing?

    How old are you?

    What do you weigh?

    Right, the stage you're at is an important consideration. For instance, I myself find it valuable to jump rope with my training partner, Sammo Hung, sitting on my shoulders. Somebody at a lower level of fitness might be better served by one of the jumping programs marketed to basketball coaches, though.

    My kicks, are powerful right now. I have good technique, and good power.

    I weigh 130.

    I havn't reallydone any squats, but deadlifts, I did 105 easly, I havn't really done any of those either.

    In that case you need a good basic strength training program using heavy compound lifts - I'd recommend the following done twice per week....

    1. Squats - 3 x 15reps
    2. Alternate between Bent leg deadlifts (3 x 10) & leg press (3 x 15)
    3. Flat bench press - 3 x 8
    4. Chins - 3 x max
    5. Seated shoulder press - 3 x 8

    Until you can squat with twice your bodyweight, in good form - forget plyometrics.

    What's the reason for squatting twice your bodyweight before doing any plyometrics, YODA?

    Hi Bon

    That was a individual GOAL for Labatt :D

    (And that goal was set, I believe, because at lower strength and experience levels, doing unsupervised, unguided plyometrics is an easy way to strain muscles and snap tendons)
