How to Do Depth Jumps

  1. Stand upright on the edge of a bench or platform with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Step off the platform (do not jump) and let yourself fall naturally.
  3. Land softly on the balls of your feet with your knees slightly bent, in an athletic stance.
  4. Immediately explode upward into a vertical jump as quickly and powerfully as possible.
  5. Land again with control, bending your knees to absorb the impact.
  6. Reset and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Commentary

The rope lat pulldown is an exercise that isolates the work to your lats and other muscles that pull your upper arm closer to your body. You get a longer range of motion and better muscle contact, thanks to the forward lean.
