The Squat Jump is a great exercise for power development but this is the first one that I’d classify as intermediate to advanced. It is really only appropriate if you are training for sports or athletic performance as your primary outcome. More advanced athletes looking to develop power and particular how fast they can develop power will find the loaded squat jump a very useful tool. You must make sure that you have a strong squatting pattern and sounds jumping and landing mechanics before even considering loaded jumps like these as the forces start to multiple putting you at a higher risk if you are not in control. Exercise Suitability: Beginners: ❌ Advanced: ✔️ What are the key technique points?
If you'd like to improve your full body strength and power then I have a range of options available in Glasgow from private 1 2 1 training, group training and even weight training technique workshops. You can view the options by clicking here.
