Edit: Shit I forgot to say, the dude doing these has the 400m hurdles WR i think

Comment I wrote :

--- Quote ---He is able to focus on the middle/upper RoM (more specific for sprints), applying more force there, because the bar bouncing does most of the work for the lower RoM. I think the weight also begins to decelerate at the uppermost RoM, so more force has to be generated at the RoM where he is the strongest. Its more specific for sprint power than jump squats or hang power cleans because he can do the reps in quicker succession.

I think this lift is likely amazing for track speed, maybe even acceleration in sports. The way the overload is different at the bottom, middle and top of the lift I believe might have a higher carryover for speed than any other lift i can think of (belt squat might be similar)
While this movement itself would be pretty tough to set up, this really inspires me to experiment with band tensions (somewhat similar to this), there might be some potential for carryover to athletic movement. I do remember Kelly Baggett saying they were pretty taxing on the CNS though

CoolColJ:
Still much slower than actual sprinting, so actual transfer for power likely won't work.
Not really good for increasing explosive strength

Seems like a good circus trick  ;D

FP:
Not sure what you mean. You train at around 30% 1RM for max power, and at 80% 1RM on the other end of the FV curve to recruit high threshold motor units. Both are necessary. IMO, While the movement speed being similar to sport can be an important thing for specificity, it is just one of many factors for carryover. IMO, At the very least the specificity of this movement would be higher if used in something like a french contast.

Anyway it looks like based on the rep range the training may have to do with both power and local endurance, but its tough to say. The TUT  is kind of low for each rep, so maybe the recommended 2-3 reps for training at 80% 1RM are more stretched out in this movement.

CoolColJ:
My point being - sprinting is fast, and strength work is slow, and builds structural changes.
There really seems to be no point in working in the middle

FP:
Its not unheard of for high level sprinters to perform something like heavy squats, even though something like a full squat is a lot less specific to sprinting than this. I believe this has the potential to overload certain areas you cant do with sprinting alone or most other lifts.
And I wouldnt exactly call this lift slow, it fits well within that zone of 80% or less I mentioned. 55-80% lifting and 80-87% lifting are used in different blocks in the Triphasic Training manual for training athletes by Cal Dietz, which is a reputable source
