What determines peak? Percent of muscle recruited? With more muscle, shouldn't power be more?

. Got this from Starting Strength book, which argues that if your muscles are already trained, your explosiveness is gene-limited

How do the best jumpers in the world soar so high? I went toe-to-toe with world record holder Evan Ungar to find out (and thoroughly embarrass myself). My latest: wired.com/story/ai-verti

I don't have scientific data, but I've drastically increased mine several times in a very short time with 0 lifting / weights.

Probably doesn't matter anymore but:
(1) Can def be trained
(2) This is the guy to follow: higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljumpfa
(3) This is the answer to the most commonly asked question
