i can foresee a lot of shiity reps being done in this thread
these lifts are to be done to technical failure, which means form is of primary importance.. if someone gets sloppy that's on them.
if you wanna get bigger then 20 rep squats are fine but for vert i think there's better ways to go about it then inducing a shit load of fatigue for no real gain - would you jump just as high without the 20 rep squats? probably
this thread has nothing to do with vert.. it's about high rep lifting, which ironically, combined with jumps/sprints/sport, will lead to probably more gains than most other protocols.. high rep squatting is the future, but was born long long ago.
also adarqui don't you have shitty knees? if so then why don't you sit back on your squats? plus thta heel lift won't be doing you any favors either are they?
where did you get the idea i have shitty knees? how could i have shitty knees and do what i do, and jump 50+ times max effort in dunk sessions? i squat multiple times per day, using my "quad dominant half squat form" + jump pretty frequent, and my knees are just fine.. sure i've had tweaks very rarely, like the one recently which i attribute to high dose ibuprofen then going to do a recovery basketball session, muscles just stopped firing correctly, screwed up my patella a bit, vmo got jacked up.. but other than that, look through my log on here/tvs and you'll see i rarely talk about knee issues.. i've had osgood schlotters as a teenager, how i squat actually makes my knees feel great, especially when i go high rep + heavy.

you've got a unilateral loading discrepency somewhere too which could be drawn back to an injury on the favoured side - left i think it was
not a big deal its not like you're tipping over or anything, i've got one too
