A lot of people neglect on doing power cleans (hang clean) and lots of squatting
Squat and Power Clean are the staple exercises to add explosiveness and burn the most calories.
First reason is because it's hard... very hard and if you do not know how to do it properly, it's a very dangerous movement to perform. But! very easy and beneficiary when it's done right!
In this video- Frank, aka Ice1Cube, does a box jump close to his height... I don't think he's very tall, yet it doesn't matter since it is his damn height-
I used to be able to jump very high back in high school when I was play soccer and ran track- back in the days... I only worked out my lower body
-Squats
-Leg press
-Leg extension
-Leg curl
-Calves Raise
Only because I thought that's the only muscle group I needed to kick harder and run faster.
I used to be able to grab the basketball rim at 5'9" and I weighed at 145lbs
Now, I'm standing 5'11" @ 204... can't grab the rim. My entire body had gotten stronger but I've added 60lbs....
My goal right now is to drop down to 180s - so maybe 15 - 20lbs lighter while keeping my strengths and gains. This is going to be done without 'cutting' meaning I won't be doing any calorie restrict diet nor cut down my carb intake. I'll be eating plenty so I can perform all the necessary exercises I need and want to do, but by doing them in high intense training, I'll be losing excessive body fat!
Let's see how this goes -
