Yes but one thing you guys don't look at is that in a explosive squat your eccentric phase is also slower than in a jump.
Say you do explosive squats with 285 lbs and you compare these with standing vertical jumps with your bodyweight. The eccentric phase in the squats is so much slower than in a SVJ done at the same depth of the dip, and that slower eccentric in the squat allows the build-up of tension and the recruitment of more motor neurons than in a SVJ.
And since that is happening, you can actually target all these motor neurons and overload them in the concentric phase (since they are already activated) and make them act more explosively than in a SVJ where you can't get all these motor neurons to fire.
