1. Fully functional. What could be more functional then getting down and getting up?
2. Full body. Chest, arms, shoulders, legs, and core.
3. Large load. Your bodyweight is a “large load”.
4. Long distance. You move your center of mass from the floor to full height ( varies for everybody) plus the height of your jump.
