Yeah it's basically a plant on one leg and then you pivot around that leg (rotate) and plant the other and jump. More rotation at the hips, longer amortization phase, longer time to apply more force into the jump. It will be less quick but you'll have more time to use force.

Rest pause?

New exercise. Body not used to the movement.

I can't even do front squats so I can't know how they are.

Poor car positioning

Yeah. He wanted to dunk over the length of the car.

Working on building muscle and getting heavier?

For me half squats are so much difficult vs full squats. So hard to stop and reverse at that 1/2 squat position ending.

I'm not sure why acole doesn't try a step-throurgh rotational plant... he'd have more time to apply more force.

4242
I mean - it probably would be better if I'd focus on losing weight and getting towards ~75 kg and then start on building up muscle from that point on.

Obviously I've said this over and over in the past year or so... and never kept word on it... never got my bodyweight under 82 kg... weaksauce by me.

Right... but considering my body composition of the last few years and training history and all that - that's what I want to establish - if it's plausible or if I should work more on shedding down weight (fat if possible) and then start building muscle from a lower bodyweight value than where I am right now.

Haha yeah I know, I don't disagree, the first guy that came into my head (not literally, of course) was Shannon Brown. I'd like to be that kind of a guy athletically.

The question is - considering my frame, with my very thin bones and very thin joints - is that possible or is it overkill and possibly detrimental?

I'm sure both Shannon Brown and the guy in the video above don't have my thin bones and joints.
