Quoted:
Recently, power lifting coaches have been adding explosive lifts to their programs and the results are tremendous. I have personally seen a five-foot-nine high school powerlifter in the 275 pound weight class, with a competition squat of over seven hundred pounds, dunk a basketball, WITH NO RUNNING START.

Interesting article Scooby except the study on Olympic weight lifters versus sprinters and other track athletes is a bit of a myth. I would also wonder if the 400 pound westside guy has a 42 inch standing vertical or is it actually just a 42 inch box jump.
I am not knocking powerlifitng here, just asking a few questions about that article.

It is Westside. We know those guys love their box jumps.
