Then their form breaks down and they potentially could get injured. So the reps are kept at six, because I want you to get as many rounds as possible in, in 20 minutes.”

A jump is not easy,” Don claims, describing the eruptive dives that he shows in the video clip over. “You could take the highest level athlete on the planet and tell them to do five explosive jumps as fast as possible and, after the fifth jump, if they’re putting 100 percent into it, they’re going to be a little winded.”
