I think you are misunderstanding. Anyway, I'm not talking about football skill. I'm talking about athletic ability. There's a strong correlation with athletic ability and high vertical jumps and low 40m times.

If you think that OL is relatively injury-free, just try doing it for a couple of months and get back to me (LOL!). The awkward joint angles, severe flexion and focus on single rep maximums take their toll.

What are you talking about? Single reps are used to maintain technique but maximums isn't common in training. Awkward joint angles? How so?
