Hey guys, so many people say that correct jump form is very important, and the correct squat form is important. but what are the correct forms for them? what is a correct jump form and a correct squat form???
also is the correct squat form necessary for body-weight squat?

well, i could post tons of videos to try and show you the various forms of squat/single+double leg jumps etc, but, it would be better if you posted your form on each exercise, then we could tell you what you'd need to improve specific to YOUR body/build etc..

jump/squat form depend alot on how you are built.. so for a jump vid, show the full runup & of course jump, for squat vid, you should show a good side angle which gets everything in the shot.

in the end it's always more beneficial to see your form and give you cues/aspects of it to fix, rather than showing you perfect form of jumpers/exercises and just saying 'do it like that'.. if you want to see perfect form, look at olympic level high jumpers/elite dunkers for single leg (& elite dunkers for double leg) - ie TFB/olympic athletes, for perfect deep/front squatting look at olympic weightlifters.

np.. sure bodyweight squat can count but, it's just going to show us some of your mobility issues more than anything.. which is still good to get feedback on.. if you don't want to do intense "weighted squatting", just incorporate dumbell squats.. use light db's and progress the weight every 2 weeks (2.5-5lb each dumbell increase), it would be better than simply bodyweight squatting and would prepare you better for eventually transitioning into barbell squatting.
