So 7-1 is... is a pretty balanced score, right?

I really love how Lipek "attacks the ground" with his left arm at 1:10 in the video... it really sets up his entire movement that follows.

Keep up the good work

Well... there are several reasons, some of which I agree with and some that I don't necessarily agree with.

Partial squats are more event specific in the case of jumping, they have a specific amortization phase, they lack the impact of jump landings (so you can use more reps without destroying your joints), they provide overload in the form of weight etc... but arguments can be made that you could just as well use full squats for muscle gain and depth jumps/sport specific jumps (dunks) for specificity, without the need of partial squats.

But yeah, IMO, partial squats increase tendon stiffness.
