Dumbbell Jumping Squat

Dumbbell Jumping Squat Instructions

• Be in a strong athletic position: knees flexed, core and glutes activated, chest up, and shoulders back. 
• With a neutral hand position, have DB in each hand at your sides.
• Keep the weight light.
• Place your feet just inside shoulder-width with your toes pointed out slightly.
• Push your hips back slightly and descend into the bottom position. 
• When the crease of your hips reach level with your knee, explode up and jump!
• LAND IN A STRONG, SUPPLE quarter-squat position then stand back up.
• Don't land with straight legs.
• Don't land in the complete bottom of a squat.

*Tips*

• LIGHT WEIGHT must be used. This exercise is meant to develop your power output.
• Focus on landing soft and supple with complete control of the DB's in each hand.
• When landing, don't let your knees track inward.
