I don't know if I understood it correctly, but here it is.

You jump than push the bar up and forcefully land into a squat and keep doing it. I did it today (hopefully correctly) and love it.
I would never think of an exercise like this. When we fight we push the opponent of balance and this is a perfect exercise to train that.

Whole body is sore. That's only 2 sets of ten.

when you land your legs should be around 45 degrees.(half squat) then you lower into the full squat psition.Kind of absorbing the pressure from the jump.

Then explode out from the bottom.

great exersise IMO

Holding into a low bar and pushing in with your delts and legs to create isometric tension might be a better option with thoose who lack muscle controll for pushing down ..

I have been trying the squat to pull-up and I have pulling myself up all the way versus what is seen in the video which looks like a partial pull. Is that meant for the "speed" aspect of the exercise?

I guess it depends how high the bar is. If the bar is so high that you can barely catch it with upstreched arms, than you will do complete pull ups no matter what.
I think the original question is about the shoulder press and not the pull up. They are exactly opposite of each other. The squat jump is the same.
