Rocket Jump
From a deep squat with the hands low, explode straight up and drive both arms overhead together like a rocket, then land softly back into the squat.
How to do it
Setup
Deep squat, feet shoulder-width, hands together low in front of the knees.
Steps
- Jump straight up, pressing the arms together overhead.
- Stretch tall through the whole body in the air.
- Land on the whole foot and sink back into the squat.
Common mistakes
Landing stiff-legged: bend the knees and hips as the feet touch. Knees caving on the landing: track them over the toes. Arms flying apart: press them together straight up.
Breathing
Exhale on the jump, inhale landing.
