My leg strength and endurance is fine, it's the explosive portion that's lacking. Last night after hitting the exercise bike for an hour I went into my basement and tried some split squat jumps (weak leg forward) and I got like no height whatsoever. So I'm going to be doing plyometric and agility exercises twice a week now. First phase will be the "beginner" phase and as I progress through the weeks I'll add sets and reps. After I am comfortable with the beginner phase I'll move up to an "intermediate" phase where I'll do the medium intensity exercises on Sunday and high intensity exercises on Wednesday. What do you guys think of this:

Beginner Phase: 2-4 weeks
Sunday - Low intensity
Exercise bike warm up (15 minutes)
Split squat jump 3x10
Box jump 3x10
Lateral box jump 3x10
Agility routine (ladder drills)

Wednesday - Moderate intensity
Exercise bike warm up (15 minutes)
Tuck jumps 3x10
Lateral box push offs 3x10
Ladder bounding 3x10
Lateral hurdle jumps 3x10
Agility routine (ladder drills)
