No thread/topic/URL in particular but anyone wanting to increase there vertical, that maybe a good research tool. I have only just found that site myself.
I will probably start to include squats back into the workout.
I just downloaded an ebook called Dinosaur Training by Brooks Kubik. It mainly refers to how the oldtime strongmen got insanely strong & the exercises they did (which you don’t see many of anymore).
I’m considering this somewhat variation to the squat (quote taken directly from the book) with my own isometric twist (tendon development).
Bottom position squats begin with the bar placed so that the lifter has to wedge himself underneath it to begin the exercise from the low position of the lift. As you might imagine, these are tremendously difficult ways of doing bench presses and squats - enormously harder than the regular style of performance. Of course, that is precisely why dinosaurs do their benches and squats in this fashion: bottom position work makes the exercises HARDER!

I was thinking 30+ second iso singles after unracking by an inch, then explode up.
Any opinions on those?. I think Jay Schroeder is particular fond but not sure if he employ’s that variation.
