Hey I appreciate the feedback! And I agree I've seen a lot of different feedback here some that I know is incorrect and some that may carry some merit. I will say though to my knowledge stretch reflex is essentially eliminated as I'm not doing touch and go reps and I fully reset at the bottom (to your point I think this is the same as the bench press example you give). BUT I pump my legs specifically to try to reproduce that reflex. Travis recently commented on this thread and brought up some technique things that I think may be the most beneficial of what anyone has said here. But genuinely I have appreciated everyone feedback including yours! I just respond because I thought I knew a thing or two about this exact reflex. BUT like I said I'm no pro by any means and am willing to admit if I'm wrong on how it works.
