Yeah I thought the first link you posted was this one.

Do RDLs, where only the hips are moving back and forth (the movement of the hips lowers and raises the bar). That way you know you're doing them right. If you can raise or lower the bar without the hips going front or back, then you're pulling with your back, so you know you're doing a wrong movement. If the bar moves, the hips must move.

Put a picture with you with a 455 bar on your back and say that you don't do vids and that we need to respect your privacy #squatDr #ACBarch :P

So they're already doing it:

When I used to play indoor, pretty much all the gyms were slippery as fuck... especially those that weren't cleaned after other people played. Whenever I would play in one I would get very quad dominant - I would become afraid of planting too much in front of me with a straight leg.

I don't think you can really "try it out"... it has to come naturally.

519
Especially like that, because of a wet spot on the floor. I'm soooo scared of wet spots, if I feel I slip just 0.000000001% I completely shut down. I'm like whatever, I'll just be extremely slow and safe rather than risk serious injury.

The "scorpion" dunk is the one dunk that Me and Nightfly, and a bunch of others, were doing before Kilganon did it, on low rims, and laughing our asses off about it, that nothing more retarded than that has ever been done as a dunk. We literally would roll around on the floor in laughter talking about it and trying it, because it looked soooooooooooooo funny.

Lo' and behold, years later, people are actually doing it seriously. Who knew?!

Maybe it was some light reflecting off an airplane that you wouldn't otherwise see?

Check out his penultimate step at 0:27, look how deep his knee bend is on that left leg, never seen that in someone before.

I don't see anybody with a gun at your head forcing you to make them all ME. Do them submaximally. Submax bounds focused on movement mechanics is a SKILL exercise which suits repetition and grooving. It's not a maximal effort it's decidedly submax. You can do thousands of them.

You practice them, get better at the SKILL of bounding, and you find out that covering the same distance takes less effort. Which means your movement efficiency improved and now, with the effort that you used the first time you did them, you can cover MORE distance and therefore you jump higher.

Why can't you see them as any other exercise? Why can't you just do a test, a maximal one, and say you get an average of 2.5 meters per bound, for 4 bounds. You put 4 cones at 2 meters and practice them for shorter distances, that will ensure fluidity in the movement using the correct mechanics, instead of crashing after each one (you don't do that anyway, I do that).

Then once per week or every two weeks you can try a ME set again, see where you're at.

Anyway, good luck.
