Jumps squats. yes I use added weight.
pointers....

-don't feel like you have to jump extremely high off the ground. basically you want to be able to (if someone wanted to) slid a piece of cardboard under your feet when you are up in the air.
-make sure to keep you focus forward and slightly up. I usually focus on where the wall meets the ceiling in our gym actually.
-make sure to drive the weight from you heals and not your toes....also you want to try to land almost flat footed. you don't want to land on your toes because when you add the weight, you will become unbalanced and basically fall on your face LOL (you don't want to be the one in the gym to do this)
-Make sure you aren't bouncing the weight at the bottom of the squat...this puts a lot of pressure on your knees.
-last pointer that I can think off the top of my head, make sure to hold the bar to your traps and not let it bounce when you actually jump...you come out with nice bruises.
(I watched a youtube video of jump squats before I actually attempted them and it help quite a bit just to see someone do one with weight. I can't remember the video otherwise I'd give you the link)

Wow thanks a lot! Those are all great tips *takes notes*
I did go on youtube and watch some videos but since you do them I thought why not ask lol
Thanks
