This will build speed and explosiveness. Rest 45 seconds to 1 minute between sets

Quads
1-Box Squat Dynamic Effort
8-10 sets of 2 with 60% of your 1 rep max. Sit down on the box like a normal squat, once on the box keep tension on quads but sit back slightly. Then power the bar up as quickly as possibly by pushing your head slightly up and back against the bar and standing up as fast as you can. Bar speed is crucial
2- Static jumps. Sit on a bench that has your legs at about parallel to the ground (same box you used for box squats will work). Bring your legs up off the floor about a food then power them down as hard as you can against the floor and jump up as high as you can. This will build speed, power, and explosiveness. Do 20 jumps total, resting 15 seconds between each jump
