You'd expect a guy with a 420x5 squat to jump higher than 35 SVJ. Just my opinion.

 First, a TRUE 35 svj at his bw of ~200 lbs is not something to laugh at, you dont take into consideration the length of his levers, his bw, fiber distribution, etc. etc., so thats a very dumb statement.  Figure up your squat to bw ratio, and your TRUE svj, then compare it to his ratio.  Maybe he "only" jumps 35 because he doesnt squat on his toes though, hed be flying the rest of high flyers who over analyze and butcher the living fuck out of general strength exercises.

I do, trust me. I take into consideration and all that, but IN MY OPINION, BASED ON HIS STRENGTH NUMBERS, you'd expect a higher SVJ. I'm not "laughing at" whatsoever. 35 is no joke.

If diminutive 5'5 O-lifters jump 40+, you'd expect a taller guy with better leverage to do better at 420x5 squat, even if that weaker than what O-lifters squat.

You're always going to plant your strongest/more controllable leg first when you don't think about it. To him, it's his left.

Very quad dominant^^^

Too narrow of a stance.

sup Andrew

Peace.

Excuse the pun, but

Amen!

150x5 half squat at 84.6 kg

He improved on his form quite a bit lately and he's a beast now strength wise.

135x5 at 82.5 kg BW (!)

Actually I think it was 136 kg since I also used the metal stops for the plates which weight about 500g each. So that makes 300 lbs x 5 reps.
