Jump Squats on Bench


Jump squats help tone and trains fast twitching muscles of the calves, glutes, hamstrings, core, and quadriceps.



Use a box or bench height that is adequate to your potential. If you are a beginner, best thing is to start with a box that is only about 5 to 10 inches high.





 Lower your body as much as you can by squatting down. Bend your knees and assume the position of sitting down.



Quickly jump up on top of the box or bench and land in a squatting position in order for the legs and not the knees to absorb the shock.



Repeat for 10 - 15 repititions

Weighted Power Step Ups




A plyometric exercise used by coaches and trainers to build athlete's explosive strength like jumping higher or sprinting faster. This exercise is also used by me to build nice rounded quads and high glutes like a sprinter has. A look that competitors need for bodybuilding competitions. Make sure to be aware of you surroundings and not have any types of weights around the area you are executing this exercise.
