The weightlifter has an advantage having done endless squats and cleans and snatches in the shoes allowing him to get lower in the SVJ and exert more power through a longer ROM.

Fixed! :P

Great. I'm going to start doing box jumps from a below parallel position, since that clearly confers biomechanical advantages.

It does - more time to generate power. In any kind of SVJ, that's a good thing.
