Well, that's what you always hear about the Achilles.

Yeah, it's impossible for me to initiate a high bar squat from the hips, I would just lose position.

A longer Achilles usually translates into more knee bend in the jump. You should watch that Donald Thomas vs Stefan Holm video.

Is that a high or a low bar position? I can't tell from the video. It does look like the hips are really involved, though.

Actually a short Achilles is better for one leg jumping, because it takes less to load and snaps quicker => better ground contact times. A long Achilles is great for standing vertical jumps.

I've felt like 2:03 several times, but I tried to stay calm and pretend nothing is happening... I've exited the gym a few times to take some cold air.

I have one too, I remember when I used to dunk with it, and felt so heavy, and was actually lighter than I am now. I think back then with a weight vest I was at ~92 kg, and now I'm ~95.
