Perfect Jump Squat Technique
Jump squats are a plyometric exercise that develops explosive lower body power, improves vertical jump ability, and enhances athletic performance. They target your glutes, quadriceps, and calves while improving neuromuscular coordination. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal power output and safe landing mechanics.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, arms at your sides or crossed over chest
- Squat Phase: Lower into a quarter to half squat position, loading your legs for explosion
- Jump Phase: Explosively drive through your heels and balls of feet, extending hips and knees
- Landing: Land softly on the balls of your feet, immediately absorbing impact through controlled squat
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Landing with straight legs (high impact stress)
- Allowing knees to collapse inward on landing
- Squatting too deep before jumping (reduces power)
- Pausing between reps instead of continuous rhythm
- Landing on heels first instead of forefoot
