Jump Pistol Squat Box
Jump onto a box from both feet and land on ONE leg in a pistol-style squat, the other leg reaching forward.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a low box a short step away, feet hip-width, arms ready to swing.
Steps
- Dip and swing the arms, then jump onto the box.
- Land on one foot, the other leg reaching forward, and sink into a single-leg squat.
- Stand up on the box, then step down; alternate the landing leg.
Common mistakes
Box too tall for a one-leg landing: start low; the landing leg decides the height. Knee diving inward in the catch: keep it over the middle toes. Jumping back down: step off, always.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale on the step-down.
