Prisoner Jump Squat
The jump squat with the hands laced behind the head; without the arm swing the legs make the whole jump.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, fingers laced behind the head, elbows wide.
Steps
- Squat down with the chest up and the elbows back.
- Jump straight up, hands still behind the head.
- Land soft on bent knees and flow into the next squat.
Common mistakes
Pulling on the head: the hands only rest there; the neck stays long. Elbows folding forward: keep them wide so the chest stays up. Knees caving on the catch: track them over the toes.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
