We’ve already gone over how relative net vertical impulse is the key component to jump height here: https://www.athletesrehab.com/course/verticaljumptraining/
The more research published on impulse the more I am beginning to feel that lifting heavier is better, at least in regards to olympic lifting and its variations. A second article on olympic lifting has confirmed a previous study (which showed during a clean pull, heavier = greater impulse see:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22516901 ) The heavier the clean in this study, the more impulse was generated, and more impulse = greater jumping ability and greater running speed. Study is here: http://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/publishahead/Muscle_specific_effective_mechanical_advantage_and.96288.aspx
