If I could tattoo something on every coach's forehead it would be learn physics.
It's not about the weight, it's about the force.
Here's the truth:
There's no lift in the weight room that can produce 4-5X bodyweight forces in a fraction of a second.
Your 200lbs high school athlete is not squatting 1000lbs in a tenth of a second.
But they handle those kinds of forces daily and we casually call it sprinting.
You know what else can generate those kinds of forces?
Altitude drops.
Again.
This is not a debate. This is math. This is physics.
@WGF1 talked about this in Minnesota two years ago.
You take a 193 lbs athlete and drop them 6 inches!
They have to handle almost 600lbs (2600N for the nerds) of impact force.
Dan and @Matt_Van_Dyke have an AWESOME article breaking down some of the specifics of collison training here:

The takeaway?
You can't guarantee your athletes will get faster if they increase their squat from 135 to 315. Those forces are too small.
You CAN guarantee that if your athletes can handle multiple times BW forces from altitude drops, they will run faster.
You can also progress and regress these easily.
โข Lower/higher boxes.
โข Single vs. double leg landings.
If you can teach your athlete's brains that it's safe for them to land from a 42" box, their performance gains will be ridiculous.
Just saw a high school kid who claims a 40 time of 4.40 and a top speed of 21 mph.
Canโt say it loud enough, you canโt run 4.40 without running a max velocity of 23 mph.
