How about some more pylometrics?

How about another pylometric exercise? Bicycling magazine has another one you will enjoy.

Box Jumps
Stand in front of a 12- to 18-inch-high box, hands by your sides, feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees and jump, landing on the box with both feet, toes first. Pause, then jump back to the floor. Bend your knees to lessen the impact.

And what do the researchers say about pylometrics? In a study by Australian researchers, trained cyclists who did plyometric exercises combined with high-resistance bike intervals improved their peak power by nearly 7 percent and their lactate threshold power by nearly 4 percent after just 12 sessions.
