May be a dumb ques - Any reason for the variation of the Step Up to Depth Drop, instead of just the Depth Drop? Also how long the holding the Iso hold for ideally? Thanks for the vids keep up the good work, can't wait to try this.

@StrengthShop definitely. Altitude drops are where the athlete drops off of a raised platform and sticks the landing. I wanted to modify the movement to increase the benefits to the lifter. Starting with a high step-up the lifter opens up that lead leg / hip which improves strength mobility. Mobility of the hip and strength in this new range of motion.

@bestmonkeyboy both are very agile. They do a ton of skill work that require high volumes of footwork, balance and coordination
