Hades, you checked out Yuri Verkhoshansky? Another Russian you may enjoy.
I googled him and it says he is the "father of plyometrics". Very interesting, I'll have to check that out. Always wanted to have a good vertical leap.

I recommend the use of convict conditioning for the specific exercises and progressions. I personally have my own workout regimen, I simply workout to positive muscle failure. I do think, however, that you have a point about not having enough volume in CC.
Yeah I should have written some of the positive takewaways of CC. Not sure why, I've just been in a negative mood lately.
1. "Big" bodyweight compound movements to practice.
2. Once you 'master' the one armed chin, the handstand pushup, and the pistol squat you will look great, be very strong, and have plenty of muscle.
3. Adequate instruction on each of the lifts.
4. Great mobility movements - i.e; the bridge, the l-sit, and the twist.
What do you consider positive muscle failure? Also great that you've made your own workouts.
