If I'm doing squat jumps to improve rfd, would I start heavier week one as in 60-70% 1rm and decrease the percentages each week with the aim to reach or improve a higher velocity, or would I aim to start at a lower percentage and progressively overload?
There are many ways to program it to be honest! The first way you describe would be moving along the force velocity curve nicely. You could also stick with the same weight and the progression would be, as you adapt, moving faster. This is why having something to measure your velocity is so helpful to track your progress and keep you motivated! Thanks for watching and great question.

@@RugbyRenegade thanks that helps a lot. What equipment would you use to measure velocity?
@@VikingFightFitness Gymaware is the market leader but more affordable are push bands etc.
@@RugbyRenegade awesome thanks for your help
Can i train twice per wek folloqing the whole curve and not only focusing just on a part of it?
