I stopped deadlifting for 2-3 months now. Would this be detrimental to my vertical? My main exercises are full squat paused, leg curls, and 45 degree hyper-extensions with 30 lb dumbells.

The best thing I ever did for my vertical was to stop deadlifting and squat an extra day per week.
I don't do that anymore though because my hamstrings are LACKING and I want to prevent injury from muscle imbalances. And also, I kinda just want to have a big deadlift.
Now I do this:
Monday:
Squat 1x5
45 degree back extensions 3x10
Friday:
deadlift 1x5
45 degree back extensions 3x10
It will give my hamstrings time to catch up. Currently my atg squat and dead are equal at 315x5. I'd like deadlift to be about 15% higher than my atg squat though (just a ballpark figure).
