Squat - jump

In 2000 (and on a few other occasions) I published and claimed copyright on this exercise description (bolding added now):

Jump Squat :

Jump Squat :

Perform the technique as above but begin with the bar across the back. Squat only to parallel and aim to perform these reps with maximal acceleration in the concentric phase, - jumping off the floor at the completion of each rep. This exercise should be performed at maximal speed.

And I came upon this description another four more times by the same 'author' in different publications.

I noted that the use of this description was in the absence of credits or references to the origin or permission to use from the original author (myself), and that the 'author' claimed copyright....
