sad thing is you will never make it to division 1, if your that slow and squating that much. power output is far more superior than bodybuilding squats. Squats should only be done 1-2 ever 3-4 weeks. even linemen are doing it less, because it progressively slows you down, when you mix it with plyometrics. You dont add a bodybuilding routine with a sports performance routine.

Y would u post this question if u already have ur chosen answer.
And when u said a 32 inch vertical cannot be achieved by squatting..ur def wrong....u could be somewhat right about the speed thing, but squats will always increase ur verticl jump.

stone if u have a 32 inch vertical jump like u say u do. imagine what it would be if u actually squated!!! probable at least 38 inches.
but if ur one of those people who wants to get fast without doing the work then ur in trouble. i hate squats but i know they are a very good excrise
just curious what position do u play? and whats ur 40?

ok im taking this statement back to some extent. if your already very fast squats will make you faster. if your slow and have a strong squat 1.5/bodyweight, squats will not make you faster, if thats all you do for leg training. it will make you slower! so you slow white guys will likely need to squat before your able to start plyo's. wouldnt it be nice just to be naturally very fast, and just have to weight train?
If you are weak in squats, they will make you faster too some extent.
So i take back some of what i originally said.

ebbbears im in strength phase right now, i need 10 pounds for football. so i am squatting/deadlifting/power clean heavy and have increased my vert 3in in about a month. i play OLB, my 40 is 4.7 when im not practicing the 40 drill, usually i can take another couple of tenths of a second off. Full squats are also alot better than parallel.

While doing squats i didnt do high rep low weight (that builds mass)...I did low weight high high rep (to build endurance).
I'm sorry but I couldn't take you seriously after you wrote this. Ive never heard of a man that could do something while never doing that thing.

I started laughing when I saw this topic thread...
I used to play HS football, I was going to play college, some things in my life happened and I opted out. Now I am playing semi pro. And if there is one thing in the weight room that will always be a staple for me to get faster, and jump higher its squats.
Squating is essential, as long as you do it right. Hamstrings, quads, glutes, hips, calves, core, it all gets worked. Go down and explode up? ever hear that?..
I dunno man I just strongly disagree with ya.
There are other great exercises to do for speed as well, I know. If your training for speed you should be doing some kind of a squat imo.
