Jump Squat is a kettlebell sport assistance exercise. Steve Cotter does it like kb sport world champions. It is what it is, and the weight to use is between twice to three times bodyweight for competitive lifters. I'm not even good and can't full squat 500 pounds but I can do 20 reps jump squat with about twice my body weight. About 2.5x bodyweight jump squats is when your kb sport lifts go pretty well for real. Of course Steve Cotter has springy legs of steel and he's fun to watch doing pistols

Your strong and in good shape. There's no need to do ballistic movements like
this with weights. Your doing enormous damage to your upper shoulder carriage
as you film.The emergency rooms are full of "trendy crosstrainers." I work in the ER
and it has seen a tremendous increase in patience from cross training gyms. Squat ,deadlift , press and curl under control.

How would this work if the barbell was in front side, like at the end of a snatch? (i don't know what the position is called in english, sorry)
I think your missing the point here. In the Kettlebell Jerk Press and even during a Barbell Push Press you don't have to go full depth squat. The ROM used here is more specific to that using more of an overload principle. For KB competitions in which you perform the Jerk Press you will only need strength @ the ROM Steve Cotter is using. If you were listening to the video he specifically said he was preparing for the Arnold Classic Kettlebell lifting competition and he specified the KB Jerk.

Seems like a little bit too much weight to be doing something like this with. Sometimes I'll mix in jump squats in lieu of a regular squat workout, but not with heavy weight...usually 135 or so is plenty unless you're a real big guy.
