Jump Step-Up
The step-up made explosive: drive off the foot on the bench into a jump, the other knee rising, and land back in the start.
How to do it
Setup
Facing a sturdy bench or box, one whole foot on top, the other on the floor.
Steps
- Drive through the foot on the bench and jump straight up.
- Swing the other knee up and the opposite arm forward in the air.
- Land with the same foot on the bench, the other on the floor; switch after the set.
Common mistakes
Pushing off the floor foot: the leg on the bench does the jump. Landing with only the toes on the bench: the whole foot comes back on top. Box too high to land cleanly: a lower step beats a missed one.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
