The type of strength that entropy is describing is something called "general systemic strength". Which is basically the strength of the entire organism. When you get into people that have good general systemic strength, even when they're light, they're just "well made" and don't have weak points, and therefore they can balance and stay strong in every position/situation etc. It's basically a combination of good upperbody, core and lowerbody strength coupled with good mobility and no recruitment issues.

I don't get what you say.

Where should I put this... beautiful squats, funny training, old farts dunking?

When doing depth jumps for benefits in the one leg jump it's better to focus on quickness... because it allows you to train for a very quick amortization phase. That's why it's a good idea to still do them bilaterally... doing them unilaterally would be way too much load on one leg, with the hips out of the equation (vertical drop), and the GCT would be too long.

Yeah but you described soreness, not necessarily fatigue. If I lay off squatting for half a year and go and do a low volume of 3x3 or something not too much, I will still have some tremendous soreness but I won't necessarily be "fatigued". I personally can jump well with soreness, but not that much with fatigue.

I think it's interesting though to overfatigue a certain muscle and see how well you jump afterwards, and what muscle fatigue limits your jump the most.

So you could isolate the calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes etc and throw a ton of fatigue-inducing exercises and then try to jump and see where the collapse occurs etc.

For example, if you have good one-leg jumping mechanics, fatiguing the heck out of your quads but letting your hamstrings and calves alone might still allow you to jump well off one.

If I fatigue my calves or hams I'm dead off one leg, I collapse each and every time.

Please... "then", not "than". I just couldn't stand it anymore.

ANYWAY,

I agree with Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo - no way doing squats is detrimental at your level. If anything, it's the squat induced fatigue.

Why do you get the plate all the way over the head... you're losing a lot of hip tension doing that.
