You're squats are very nice btw...
25/set is the most i've ever done. but yeah, they're for connective tissue conditioning, a la adarq. if you go back a year or two in his log or his youtube channel, you can find videos of him doing hundreds of MR half tucks. i do them way submax, focusing on minimal ground contact time rather than height. it's a way to get in some reactive work without taxing myself as much as with big exercises like RVJ, depth jumps, bounds, etc.
it's funny, i never thought about it before but i'm doing them that way on faith. adarq knows what he's talking about.
