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).

Hm... what if you go wider? Maybe you'd squat full better. If I were to keep a shoulder width stance I'd have a very hard time full squatting (where full = below parallel for me).

What stance do you use with your full squats vs your half squats and how much more, if any, are your feet externally rotated?

And I think another thing that needs to be emphasized is to never twist when the back is loaded. The discs themselves are pretty sturdy when loaded "liniarly" but they are not built to sustain twisting under load. So don't do twisted crunches or twisting (even your head to see if you put the bar correctly onto the pins etc) under a loaded back.
At least this is what I know about the spine and the discs.

I'm afraid of doing loaded calf raises. One - that my legs would slipp and a mess would happen and two - I've always had back problems after doing them. So I do them on one leg and use dumbbells/plates in that leg's corresponding hand. Going for 15-20 reps.

Damn, you're kicking my ass on these half squats 
, no wonder you're jumping higher off two feet.
I used 220 lbs yesterday to keep it really explosive.
