So generous balla lol
Eh not really, just going off personal experience
I can't jump up like that on any other lift but on squat I can
It came from tips burns gave me back in the day on activating your core. Practice it and I guarantee your 1RM will jump up some.
Using a belt helps some too but even then you should push your stomach out as far as you can. Don't just tighten/flex your abs, actually push them outward as hard as possible as well as flexing them. Hold your breath from the top of the squat and until you've pretty much completed that rep. It takes a little practice to completely get it right but holy fuck does it make a difference once you really get it. Helps a ton of deads too (obv).
That's why on squats I've always been able to push 1-2 reps out heavier than it felt like I should have been able from my rep work. Bc I could activate my core to an extra extent and explosively push it out. I really wish I had tested a 1RM on squats when I was getting 500x6 especially now.. unfortunately I was still scared bc I had injured my leg pretty bad a couple of months previously squatting.
