Weighted Jump Squat

Build explosive leg power with resistance-enhanced jump squats.

This movement combines a squat with an explosive jump, adding weight to boost power and intensity.

Instructions

  1. Place a light barbell across your upper back or wear a weighted vest.
  2. Stand with feet just outside shoulder-width, chest up.
  3. Dip into a partial squat, then explode upward into a jump.
  4. Land softly with knees bent to absorb impact.
  5. Reset and repeat.
