This is worse:

Power Jump Olympic Lifts

I don't think either exercise was intended for a weightlifting crowd

First exercise might be ok, those javelin guys likely know a lot of things that we don't
Second video: I wouldn't want to do a lot of those since you have to deliberately jump forward, to me it seems like more risk than necessary for anyone in any sport ... but good for the wtf effect, if you aim to achieve it

For the first video, I can see shoulder dislocates with a PVC.  But javelin or not, that can't end good for a lot of people.  I can see to many incidence of injuries occurring with this exercise.  The guy said he does more weight than the bar used for demonstration, what will putting more weight on something like that achieve?

BTW I found out about this exercise because one of my interns alerted me to it.  One of the seniors at his college was throwing the idea of it around as such a great exercise and had the whole attitude of what you don't know what a reverse snatch is?

Calling that movement a reverse snatch is pretty funny.

My friend actually does something similar to the box one. He'll put a plate just outside each foot and during his warmup he'll do cleans jumping onto the plates. It's much more like a real clean that way.
