Why indoor? I haven't played indoors in years.

I would never play with a taped "fixed" ankle... no thanks, I don't want an injured knee because of it.

Well good for him. I probably wouldn't squat either in that situation. Why risk a ton by squatting, not being fresh to dunk, so on and so forth, when you can jump 40+ without that?

In my opinion the way you increase your maximum controllable speed is:

1) Try to jump faster every time
2) Doing high tension consecutive jumps (depth jumps, single leg bounds) so that you get accostumed to that level of overload that your jump leg will have to take in and control in the plant.

I asked him if he increased his squat.

He replied "I've increased my faith, man...".

Go figure.

The question is - how can you increase the maximum controllable speed in the one-leg jump?

As a side note, watch his left arm twist and coil :D (0:20 for example)

Yeah I completely agree. Plus the squats target many more muscles so... there ya have it.

However I did hip thrusts in the past and they were pretty good, I'm jumping higher now despite barely squatting 120x3 yesterday so... there has to be something (I also do kettlebell swings which are basically "power" hip thrusts)
