So, you want to jump higher and longer. You’ve tried doing squats and pistols, and have had mild success. But you really want to grow your distance. You don’t need more strength (per se) you need more explosiveness.

How do you do this? Go jump! That’s it, it’s that simple. Pick a couple different jumps, low to high, same height, and high to low (preferably in the same area, picnic tables are good resources if you can’t find anything better).  Then just do the jumps, over and over and over again. Even if you are well conditioned as far as strength goes, you will be really sore!

And if you are more advanced in your training or do this for a while, you can start doing more plyometric stuff. The important thing here is explosive movements coupled with weight lifting is what really gives you jumping ability.
