Squats are fine in a training environment but injuries are more likely to happen in a 1 rm testing setting. I think its more a situation of whats safer and more practical. Plus its a lot more time consuming. If your vertical jump tests give you the similar information then its just a matter of why risk it, Instead if a squat test i would like to see them add a 5-10-5 drill like the NFL combine.
