jump touch- a jump with the intent of touching an object or mark at the set height. this is not a squat jump therefore, it is not imperative to reach full depth prior to the jump. for today, the mark is 10 feet for men and 8 feet for women. the idea is to perform consecutive jumps as fast as possible to accumulate the most reps.

post your bodyweight & height, total jumps and reps from each load for score
