Notice how much deeper the jumper is in his squat before he ascends Vs the non jumper. This also helps because it takes him past the “sticking point” or 90 degrees, which in turn activates his patella reflex, which assists in knee extension.

I can jump higher than a house, because houses can't jump.

I tried with all my might to do a 50 inch vertical leap, but the only thing that happened was I landed face-down on the floor in front of my wheelchair. Someone please send help.
