The weightlifter has an advantage in the shoes allowing him to get lower in the SVJ and exert more power through a longer ROM.

The weightlifter has an advantage having done endless squats and cleans and snatches in the shoes allowing him to get lower in the SVJ and exert more power through a longer ROM.

Fixed!  :P

Great. I'm going to start doing box jumps from a below parallel position, since that clearly confers biomechanical advantages.

It does - more time to generate power. In any kind of SVJ, that's a good thing.

Really? I just assumed since most of his training involves moving the body from that position it's just his motor pattern.
