Instructions

  1. Place the barbell on your upper back with an overhand grip, similar to the back squat. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing forward or slightly turned out. This is your starting position.
  2. Lower your hips into a quarter squat as if you were doing a vertical jump.
  3. Raise your hips sharply and jump as high as you can, keeping the bar in a stable position. Land gently on the balls of your feet to soften the impact. Return to starting position.

Tips

  • Don't go all the way to the full squat. Go only as far in a vertical jump.
  • Don't let your knees drop in when lifting.
