I was thinking the same thing...that's damn impressive, which, I believe would make him the world's highest vertical jumper.

All jokes aside, increasing vertical jump isn't all calf work and single leg squats. Look into Olympic lifts or do a google search on plyometrics. They are a great way to increasing power production without have to use much weight. Most are even done with your body weight.

Plyometrics
