He says that significant weight loss is the only thing that can increase vertical jump apart from the modest increases that come with gains on squat/pc, but I don't know if he means significant as in morbidly obese people losing hundreds of pounds or significant like the 45 pounds i have available to discard.
can anyone speak from experience on this? How much has your vertical changed since you've leaned out?
