I think I tend to fail more in a long jump than in a dunk attempt, but that's just a guess. It also depends on the amount of speed I use.

Maybe when I first started to jump I used a lot of hamstring and over time I remained "hooked" to that even though I have stronger glutes now than back then. I think there's a "big" difference when I do lunges for example, I can feel the right glute work so much better functionally than the left glute.

As for my knee - haven't done an MRI yet. Costs a lot. But it just "clicks" in the lateral side when I go from ~10 degrees to ~25 degrees of flexion. Probably (I think it is) some sort of ITB syndrome. Not sure if it is though. I can't squat high bar since after 1 or 2 reps my knee hurts like hell. But I can squat low bar.

I can see ^^^

This might be your best athletic day... I mean, depth jumps, jump squats and (very) strong half squats. It's gotta be.

I think you still might have a masked explosiveness if you have been training for long enough with strength only... you can never know.

Also, you might jump higher after 15-20 minutes of aggressive 3 on 3 basketball.

Exactly ^^^

That's why I want to cut down on squatting as of right now. I have plenty of time to squat in the winter when I don't do anything else at all since it's snow outside and I don't have a gym to play into.

It makes sense to cut down on squats right now therefore, maybe just squat every day VERY low volumes and do some KB swings and that's it.

But these are with MONEY!

Interesting, although I had protein powder coming through my esophagus while squatting, so...
