Double Jump Squat
The jump squat with a pulse: squat, rise halfway, sink again and only then jump.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out, hands clasped in front of the chest.
Steps
- Sit into a squat, thighs near parallel.
- Rise halfway, then sink back to the bottom without standing up.
- Jump straight up from the second squat and land soft into the next rep.
Common mistakes
Jumping out of the first dip: the pulse comes before the jump; do both squats. Bouncing off the bottom: control the second descent, then drive. Stiff landings: the knees bend and follow the toes on the catch.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
