No the floor doesn't help with standing jumps. It helps a lot when you bounce.

Hence it helps with standing jumps as well.

I would also wonder if the 400 pound westside guy has a 42 inch standing vertical or is it actually just a 42 inch box jump.

This ^^^

How much do you gain suited for the deadlift vs raw? Nicely done by the way, 220 squat raw is no joke :highfive:

Puberty can do some great things :P

Hey you tell me? I gained about 5 lbs of manly squatting power during puberty.

 :ninja:^^^^

You do 8 reps with 50 kg at overhead press? :ninja:

I can barely do 8 with 35 kg, and that's only the first set. I can't do another 8 with that weight.

At 16 years old an empty barbell was probably my 5RM... but hey, I was nerdy and weak to begin with.

They even had the nerve to buy 34 more stationary bikes, instead of buying another power rack after many members requested one.

Money rules! They need to make it look good so more "health enthusiasts" join => more money for them.

Why don't you go with bulgarian split squats with a long stance (a lot of glute contribution, no knee bending forward) + RDLs for a while? No squatting. See how that goes.

I would argue that you need to define "easier" - as in a wider stance allows better technique => easier or as in a wider stance gets you a bit lower and you need to travel less distance.

I don't see the need to strain with a narrow stance with full squats. Use jump specificity where needed (half squats).
