Vertical Jump
We assessed members vertical jumps and will be dialing some of our WODs toward increasing everyones verticals. Vertical jump is an expression of power and rate of force production, two qualities that will serve anyone well to increase. An individuals back squat is highly correlated with vertical jump performance. The foundational strength gains from squatting will increase the amount of force generated during a vertical jump. When you run into Alicia, ask her what her max squat was in high school!
We also did clubbell torch lifts for a wicked total body contraction and shoulder strength. It was Angelita, Julia, Charles, and John’s first CrossFit workout and they all did very well! John’s squat form changed dramatically after some squat therapy with Scott and XX.
