Thanks, that's what I was thinking. What I get from them is plantar flexion, which is really only used when I'm doing a hard standing start or a sprint. Either way, its just helping the hip/knee power not really a prime mover of the action so to speak. Plus I can't even see that exercise improving my squat, more so than just squatting will.

I guess I'll replace that with even more foam rollers or box jumps
