I've written all this stuff down and put it in my workout program because I think it can get me higher.

no it isn't. it is just a classification he made on his own...it is legitimate to ask for the sources! so don't take everything for granted it's a little bit naive.

@adarqui: why do you have to hate? this guy cascio... have you seen the other videos of how he can JUMP?! if this guy says 15%, it's 15% !!!
-
I like how you spelled crucial, and I like that annoying cricket. :D
-
Yo Jack Cascio! Can i do your quad squats with weight on my back? like in the weight room!
-
Hey Jack. Thanks for the videos!
I have one question. Should I put all the parts together, and that would be one workout session or?
Greetings from denmark!

isn't his basketball hoop facing the wrong way?

also, the reason to why bodybuilders, despite having huge muscles, are not so fast, are several reasons.
1. you can make your muscelfibers thicker (which gives you big muscles) in to ways. only on of them makes them stronger.
2.there are 3 types of musclefibers type 1 (slow, but good endurance), type 2A (fast, pretty good endurance) and type 2B (very fast, bad endurance) type 2A are the strongest and thickest (a lot of these in bodybuilders) type 2B are the fastest, and good for sprint and jump

machines are not good at all for vertical training, or for speed.
because in a machine, you are not recruting so many of the muscels around (to keep balance), those muscles are used while running.
if you want to be faster, I would suggest, strength training, (squats, lunges, deadlifts) and also exercises to strenghten the gastrocnemius, soleus, tiberias (not sure about spelling, antagonist to gastrocnemius) as well as speed ladder drills, and, of course, you need to run.

my two previous comments should not be taken to serrious, as it is only the teoretical part.
i do agree with a lot of Jack's exercises, both practically and in theory.
as long as you do not forget to rest, as it is while you are resting, that you are getting stronger and quicker.
and for God's sake, don't skip weight training. or streching

while I don't agree with quads = 15%, i think that it is more correct to say that they = 15%, than most important.
aqtually, your upper body is the most important, because it increases your force (weight=force, as your weight is a measurement og how much the earth (gravity) has to "fight back" with, to keep you on the ground), and also decreases it (consentric), giving your lower body less weight to move (jump)
quads being 15% of vertical jump is funny, where did you get that number?

@adarqui We're ranking 7 muscles by most important to least using percentages...
