Countermovement Jump Arms Pull
The countermovement jump with a full arm swing: the arms drive back on the dip and up on the jump, adding height.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall, feet hip-width, arms relaxed at the sides.
Steps
- Dip to a quarter squat as the arms swing back.
- Drive the arms up and jump straight up in one motion.
- Land soft on the same spot, hips back and knees over the toes.
Common mistakes
Arms lagging behind the legs: they swing up WITH the jump, not after it. Dipping too deep: a quick quarter squat keeps the spring. Drifting forward in the air: land where you took off.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
