How to perform it

  1. Begin in a relaxed stance with your feet shoulder width apart and hold your arms close to the body.
  2. To initiate the move, squat down halfway and explode back up as high as possible.
  3. Fully extend your entire body, reaching overhead as far as possible. As you land, absorb your impact through the legs.

Muscles worked

The Rocket Jump primarily targets your Quadriceps, with support from your Calves, Hamstrings. You'll need body only.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Rocket Jump slots into a plan built for your goal — sets, reps and progression auto-suggested, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly review that adapts what comes next.
