There is disagreement on which squat variation is the best for any certain outcome most can agree on one thing.

SPECIFICITY IS KING

No matter what exercises you do, if you are not training for your sport then you are doing it wrong!

If your goal is to increase your vertical jump like me then you need resistance exercises that keep you in your jumping ROM. I highly recommend you have days of Full ROM ass to grass as it is has been shown that Full ROM resistance training has many benefits.

But on sport specific training days you have to work on your sport of choice.

You don't see basketball or volleyball athletes hitting Full ROM squats when they jump. They barely get into a 1/2 squat. Often times the best jumpers end up with their knees at almost 45 degrees or a little more and with their back completely perpendicular to the ground.

This allows all the power to come from the momentum, leg power, and arm swing.

Front squat - Perfect back position for a jump

Back (Or better yet, Front) 1/4 squat - Overloads the exact ROM for a perfect jump
