I used to associate this with computers (CD-ROM). Now it means range of motion. It is important in many crossfit movements, especially anything that is squat based. To be counted as a rep, the squat must go below parallel. So your butt must go below your knee. See image below.
This is a constant struggle for me. As I've stated in prior posts, I have no flexibility. But recently I've been a bit more pro-active about increasing my ROM, through stretches gathered from the mobility WOD blog and asking some other members for help. One thing I'm noticing is that I need to spread my knees. Whenever I remember it it helps me a lot, but I need to get more in the habit of doing it.
Gotta keep WORKING.
