Appreciate all the points you make on motivation and goals. And follow many myself.
Have always considered CT to be the best author on this site. Like his insights on strength in general, and athletic performance in particular, he has worked with numerous elite sportspeople.
I liked Tanner Shuck in his short appearance here.
This is one of the better forums on the web, just need to pick and choose the relevance to me. People are generally helpful and knowledgeable. The worst I have found by the way is LetsRun. Thoroughly poisonous and obnoxious and amazingly uninformed.
By the way this is a good article on Velocity Based Training, aka lifting fast for power and how it meshes with slow strength work.
The explosive lighter lifts/jumps share some similarities with CTs Neural Charge training article.
