I have to say I switched back to high bar squats because I saw your squats and got that "lust" of high bar squatting again

What you're describing is usually a sign of lack of calf and possibly hamstring strength. Improve on that.

No Avishek... you're just not going to get any "real benefits" and you could even program yourself with a FAULTY mechanic doing these.

Your jumps do not occur due to reaching a point of extension that determines a jump to occur, but rather you forcing the jump pulling with your "back" and using the weight of the KB to pull you forward. Which is something you don't want to do and it's counterproductive to athletic endeavors.

So you're not:

1) Using maximal power
2) Using maximal extension
3) Using maximal speed
4) Using correct mechanics


Then why the hell would this still be beneficial and not a waste of time and body resources? You could do regular KB swings and overhead tosses with a medball or basic broad jumps and get a much better workout.

You'd get maximal power doing the "grounded" KB swings AND maximal hip extension while using correct mechanics and doing overhead tosses or broad jumps you'd use maximal speed as well + hip extension + correct mechanics + maximal power.

So there ya have it.

This exercise is like me saying "if you want to drive a car better you should drive it at 10 miles per hour with 2 pairs of sunglasses on - that will improve your ability to drive the car faster without these sunglasses on".

Well how about driving the car faster without the sunglasses on in the first place?

You should film the bounds and 2-leg bounds/broad jumps. Heck, film everything.
