Definition

A bodyweight movement combining a descent to the floor with a return to standing and usually a jump. This movement is commonly used to create cyclical or repeated whole-body work in CrossFit. The training effect depends strongly on repetition rate, total volume, external load and the athlete’s ability to maintain the movement standard under fatigue.

Practical use

Choose a variation and volume that preserve repeatable movement quality; reduce height, load or complexity before fatigue causes unsafe mechanics.
