Skill/Strength: Overhead Squat
Then...
3 Rounds for Quality (no time measurement)
10 Lateral Jumps*
10m Broad Jumps
10 Box Jumps**
10m Broad Jumps
These drills today are not to be performed with a time constraint in mind. Rather, we are practicing:
1.) Safe & efficent take-off and landing mechanics
2.) Accuracy
3.) Explosiveness for optimal height/distance
*The lateral jumps can be performed over which ever obstacle you choose, such as a barbell set off the floor by a few inches, a 20" box, or even a piece of PVC pipe flat on the floor.
**Box jump height is also choice. Preferably it is around mid-thigh or higher. Rest appropriately between repetitions.
