Explosive Hang Squat
From tiptoe with the arms reaching high, drop fast into a deep squat and stop dead at the bottom; a drill in absorbing a quick descent, the arms swinging down to the front.
How to do it
Setup
Standing tall with the feet hip-width, arms loose at the sides.
Steps
- Rise onto the toes and reach both arms overhead.
- Drop fast into a deep squat, landing on the whole foot as the arms swing forward.
- Freeze at the bottom for a beat, then stand up.
Common mistakes
Landing on the toes: the heels meet the floor as the hips drop. Knees caving on the catch: push them out over the middle toes. Chest collapsing onto the thighs: keep it up and the back flat at the bottom.
Breathing
Inhale reaching up, exhale on the drop.
