Yeah I was talking to Nightfly that the exercise doesn't seem that bad afterall. I mean, even if some stuff looks funny, it may have it's uses. It's when people go over board with things like these that it's silly.

It's interesting that you haven't included the 1-leg RDL as a strength exercise. I feel like my glutes work very well using it, and it's one of my favorite exercises.

I think that's for proprioceptive purposes...

Well the first leg is definitely the loaded leg ... the amount of load differentiates the good, reactive kind of people vs. the non-reactive jumpers.

It's interesting how his left palm is on the right side of his body at 00:09 when he jumps.

Well, ask Adam. Probably a good way for implementing that over time is the pen drill (by the way - any idea why it's named the "pen" drill?).

Probably because you're even less reactive/you're not yet aware of how to use a shorter last step/you learned to reach out to the rim from basketball.

That's coming from my experience with depth jumps followed by rebounds over objects/onto objects... it's usually quicker because you don't reach full hip extension when you need to get your feet up/knees up.

This guy looks like DeFranco in a Rafer Alston+Dave Chappelle body. But he's pretty solid in what he talks about (hence the DeFranco allusion).
As for the depth jumps, I think the only positive part on a depth jump onto a box vs a depth jump to touch something high is the diminished GCT for the on the box depth jump. Now that's shouldn't really be the focus of depth jumping, but it still is something you can use for some people.

One more thing: look at Holm's right leg as he swings it (his position) and look at Thomas'. Holm has his right leg parallel, sideways, to his left, while Thomas has his right leg a little more backwards, which means he puts more strength into the jump and less tendon, in my opinion, since that will increase the amortization phase because the right leg swing will be longer.
