1-5....triples sound good to me....singles are also good...

you may want to try singles with 90% of squats and deadlifts for sets of 5 or something...

When using the weight room for vertical jump you should do no more than 8 reps.

You want to be explosive when you with squats, deadlift, etc...

This is a huge part ^^^

You could spend all the time in the weight room and not get the results you want because your not training to be explosive!

But I would suggest 3 sets of 3-4 reps (being explosive!)

This is help you much
Good luck!
