Recently I invented a new way of doing jump squats, by using this machine as a type of resistance. I'd set it to the bottom and would grip it like I'm doing a dumbbell squat jump. The good thing about this is that there is resistance the entire jump, unlike using weights where there is no resistance at the top of the jump. thoughts?

You don't need resistance while you're in the air, so that's not really a "good thing." It doesn't work you while you're in the ait.
Only "advantage" is that you drop to the floor at higher velocities, but you can simulate that with a depth jump and I'm not sure if that's necessary with a squat jump.

Will not work better than squats, depth jumps, and practicing your SVJ and 3 step VJ :strong:
I could imagine the cables pulling you back during the 3 step VJ and making your steps a bit less coordinated.

I agree, don't try to get fancy and stick with the basics that work.
