You guys brought up some very interesting points about things that I wondered myself. 1. Box jumps. I always felt that the very high box jumps were more of a mobilty/flexibility/technique movement rather than raw power such as a vertical jump. But I figured that it was useful for weightlifters since they do have to explosively bring their legs toward their body right after the triple extension. 2.Depth of the dip in the vertical jump. I think has more to with the strength balance between the posterior chain and quad strength. I also believe that any athlete with a very shallow dip in their vertical jump would be able to improve by balancing out their quad strength and dipping lower. 3. Partial squats. I see the benefit but there has to be some common sense. I believe it should be limited to a certain percentage above the athlete's full depth squat. If someone cannot squat 100kg full depth, they should not have 150kg on their back doing partials. 20-30% above their full depth squat with reps focused on speed and power. There has to be something said about the injury risk of loading up that athlete's spine with 50% more weight than they can handle through a full range of motion.
There was an interesting video the other day from a cyclist called Remco Evenepoel. Had his full days training as he tries to come back from a collarbone fracture, was some seemingly interesting SnC in that video which could be neat to cover
For what it's worth, IIRC, Joel Smith's (Justflysports) opinion on squats for athletes and the like is: Once you can hit a 1.5-2x BW full squat, you're probably generally strong enough and doing partial squats may be useful from a specificity and saving energy perspective. I think I agree with his take.
Hurdling is just insanely difficult in comparison to how easy it looks. It's so difficult to blast at full speed yet fitting your steps to the hurdle efficiently.
It’s the body passing the line first. I think specifically the upper torso. It’s crazy many sprint and hurdle races are won or lost by 1/1000th of a second.
Boys I'll admit I'm addicted to your videos

Started watching Shogun and cannot unsee Daire in Anjin-sama
I can see Daire preparing a pheasant that way.
Cooking with Sika special

Impressive Power Cleans!

Excellent 👌
Would be great if you reacted to isaiah rivera, he has a 50.5 inch vertical, and is a professional dunker
you should look at rowing training
Delightful looking athlete!
Nice
You guys know what athletes your viewers want to watch lol.
Well lads, any chance of a react video for Ethan Katzberg, the Canadian World Champion Hammer Thrower?
Is the winner of a race judged by who’s foot touches the ground past the finish line first or who’s body passes the plane of the finish line first?

I’m still in shock from watching that girl jumping on one leg! Still not positive that’s real (even though I know it is)
Ayyyyyyyy
