Kneeling Jump Squat
From kneeling with a light bar across the back, swing the hips and jump the feet under you into a squat, then stand.
How to do it
Setup
Kneeling on a mat, a light bar across the upper back, toes tucked under.
Steps
- Sit the hips back toward the heels.
- Drive the hips forward hard and pull the feet under you.
- Land in a squat, feet flat, then stand up.
Common mistakes
A bar too heavy to jump with: start with an empty bar or none. Landing on the toes with the knees caving: land flat, knees out. Kneeling on a hard floor: a mat under the knees.
Breathing
Inhale sitting back, exhale on the jump.
