Instructions
Setup
Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
Hold one dumbbell with both hands, allowing it to hang naturally between your legs.
The Movement
Squat Phase: Lower your hips down and back as if sitting into a chair, maintaining an upright chest and core engagement.
Explosion: Once your thighs are close to parallel with the ground, push explosively through your entire foot.
Jump: As you rise, propel yourself upward, leaving the ground. Keep the dumbbell held securely in front of you throughout the entire motion.
Landing: Land softly with knees slightly bent in the starting wide-stance, controlling the impact, and immediately transition into the next repetition.
