Kelly Baggett uses similar Jump Squats.
Benefits and Application of Jump Squats

Quote:
1/4 jump squat with reset- This variation is just like the rhythmic jump squat except you reset yourself prior to each repetition. This will enable you to fully concentrate on each repetition. So, on these, just like the rhythmic jump squat, the focus is on the takeoff and getting as high as possible. The performance will be just like the vertical jump the only difference is you will have load on your back. I prefer to use this variation most of the time. The loading will range anywhere from 15-60% again depending on the athlete. Heavier variations are used to develop more strength-speed and lighter variations for more speed-strength. The rep range will be anywhere from 3-8 per set with an average of 5 sets per session.
