How to Do Jump Squat
Squat to parallel. Explode upward, leaving the floor completely. Land softly — absorb the impact by bending the knees immediately on contact. Reset before the next rep. This is plyometric power training: builds fast-twitch muscle fiber and leg explosiveness.

Coaching Cues
✓Squat to full parallel before exploding — a half-squat jump is a half result
✓Arms swing up on the jump — use the momentum to get more height
