. For developing primarily starting strength a weight of 60-65% of maximum is used. The exercise is performed with short concentrated explosive efforts to only move the weight but not accelerate it through the maximum range possible.
Does mean if using a squat or bench press you would do partial reps - in a sort of pulsing manner?

No, it must be the normal Squat or Bench press maximal explosive effort (you must not use the shorter amplitude movements) executed with specific qualitative aim: not trying to reach the maximal speed at the end of movement, but trying to increase the speed as quickly as possible at the beginning of movement.

There tends to be an irrational fear associated with deeper-than-parallel
squats, even though most of this is based on theoretical analysis and is
usually contradicted by clinical studies which show that even more knee
injuries occur in activities which do not flex the knee anywhere near
parallel (such as running and jumping). Others show that partial squats can
traumatize the knees even more than full squats!
I couldn't find anything where Zatsiorsky metions partials, but all of the training regimens I found by him where full or box squats.
