Jump Line (T)

The highest point of a jump, as recorded in traditional quadrobics— to measure how high the jump was. The jump line lies under the waist at midpoint. Jumps are measured at what height the person could theoretically jump over if their jump form allowed the hurdle to pass under the waist.

Jump Line (R)

The highest point of a jump, as recorded in recreational quadrobics— to measure the height of a jump. The Jump line lies under the limbs during midform, where the elbows and knees are at their closest. Jumps are measured at what height the person could jump so long as their midform is intact.

Mentor

The meal plan that my mentor made is horrible.

Pawform

Paw(s) is the common term to refer to one’s hands while doing quadrobics. Pawform is used to describe the mode of holding your hands in quadrobics; the fingers curled and thumb loose to the side, the last knuckle of the four fingers excluding the thumb are flush with the ground.

You have to teach everyone pawform before they start speed training, otherwise they’ll break their fingers.

Pitting

A balance and coordination exercise in quadrobics, where one stands in starting position and lifts 1-2 limbs at a time before lowering them slowly. This exercise is often used in physical therapy for injury recovery, or used as a strengthening exercise when used with weights.

The term is also used for gaits that are practiced in place, instead of moving forward.

You should try pitting to get more used to your trot form.
