Vertical Jump

How to do it

Stand with feet hip width apart, knees soft, arms relaxed at your sides.
Sink into a quarter squat, loading the quadriceps and gluteus maximus while keeping the chest tall.
Drive through the whole foot and swing the arms upward as you extend the hips, knees, and ankles explosively.
Snap through the calves at the top to leave the ground with a full body extension.
Land softly on the balls of the feet and roll back through the heels, re-bending the knees to absorb impact.
Reset fully between reps rather than chaining jumps, avoiding a collapsed landing with the knees caving inward.
