Hit a few walking lunges with just bw. glute kickbacks, standing hamstring curls, and squats (all bw) to get things warmed up.

High Box Squats. (Box should be right about middle of your patella it should come up to) wide stance box squats, focus on squeezing your quads on the way up; sit back into the squat, load about 70% of the weight onto the box (not a touch and go)Warm-up so you're ready to go with the below.

--looked solid.

Explosive barbell high pull ; superset with countermovement jumps
Another exercise designed to develop explosiveness. Starting in a deadlift position, grip on bar slightly narrower than shoulder width, explode with bar up into a high row/pull. Don't jump under it into a hang clean. Just do the pull-up. Focus on exploding hips up and out. Focus should be way more there and less on arms/shoulder girdle pulling. If you’re doing it correctly and exploding up and then hips forward you should come up onto your toes as the bar reaches its maximum height (about face level).
