jump squats are basically GPP, just a bit more specific to jumping than regular squats. the point of jump squats is not to train yourself how to jump in a game, the point is to train your leg muscles to generate more power. you can produce more power over a bigger ROM, and more power is good. the fact that you will never almost never in practice use that full amplitude is irrelevant.

« on: December 05, 2014, 09:15:26 am »Because there's a loss of stretch reflex when you're too flexible - you don't benefit from it anymore. If you're still explosive it's because you're strong, not because you still benefit from the stretch reflex at the level of people that aren't as flexible as you. But this applies in something like ballet or whatever.
yeah i'm with matt, i'm not sure this makes sense.

the floor the scale is on also makes a difference. my bathroom scale gives different readings in the middle of the floor vs against the wall.

you don't need a coach for bounds! although it does help to have feedback. t0ddday helped me out big time with those, and acole.
for sprinting, it doesn't need to be all-out to have an effect. submax sprints can help, as well.
