Thanks for the pics, dood! Is that you?

Yeah, I use DBs when doing squat jumps. I'm doing 40s right now. I squat low, hanging the DBs out to the side, slightly in front to help w/ balance. While keeping your back straight (duh), explode up with your head and chest... imagine trying to get your head to go as high as possible. You should fully extend at the three major joints... ankle, knee, and hip.

My legs were sore for a week after the first time I tried them.

Start light. I started w/ 10's. And, try to jump as high as possible (maximum power) on each rep... don't just half ass get your feet off the ground.

After doing these... I can tell w/out measurement that I can already jump a lot higher than before I started (with no weight). At least that is one measure of success with them.

And be ready for some very sore traps, as well.

Doing front squats with a clean grip is better. You just need to keep doing them, eventually your wrists will loosen up.

Why is it better with a "clean grip"?

Because it helps loosen up the wrists over time. And let me tell you, You have NOT JO'ed until you JO with a loose wrist!
