I've never done this but heard it done by a lot of high level elite track athletes...
Set the hooks, pins whatever you squat off of at a height that makes your hamstrings parallel. Tighten up get ready and just do Rack squats. Stand up with the weight then return to hooks. Easy way to do Heavy loading minus the safety of actually going down etc.
I saw above people talking about box squats....When I do mine I use about 50% of max. I work on squatting onto the box then exploding off it. I try and bend the bar by driving up so fast, most times I actually will drive up off my heels, which gives my calfs a nice workout too  (all while maintaining good technique of course) |
We call em dead stops. Havent done them in awhile.
Heres a video if I am thinking about what you are
