They say 50% Is also good for speed but it's endurance and not speed..That's weird.
It's only endurance depending on how many reps you do. It also depends on how fast you lift that weight. Generally, when a vertical program tells you to do 50% of your 1RM for an exercise, it will also tell you to lift it explosively. I think the only time your gonna be doing 50% on an exercise is for the jump squat.
