Jumping and Landing


Straight Jump
  • Stand tall in hollow body position with chest up, abs and butt on
  • Look straight forward
  • Initiate descent by pushing hips back and keeping your chest and eyes up
  • Synchronize arm back swing with hip dip
  • Make sure arms reack back to full extension as the hips hit peak tension in the dip
  • Explode out of the hole and take off in hollow body position
  • Stick the landing in partial squat and arms above eye level


  • Tuck Jump
  • Stand tall in hollow body position with chest up, abs and butt on
  • Look straight forward
  • Initiate descent by pushing hips back and keeping your chest and eyes up
  • Synchronize arm back swing with hip dip
  • Make sure arms reach back to full extension as the hips hit peak tension in the dip
  • Explode out of the hole and take off in hollow body position
  • At the apex of the jump compress into a tuck position with hands next to your feet
  • Explore out of the tuck as quickly as possible
  • Stick the landing in partial squat and arms above eye level


  • Broad Jump
  • Stand tall with chest up, abs and butt on
  • Look straight forward
  • Initiate descent by pushing hips back and keeping your chest and eyes up
  • Synchronize arm back swing with hip dip
  • Make sure arms reach back to full extension as the hips hit peak tension in the dip
  • Explode out of the hole and take off in hollow body position
  • Allow the arms to lead the direction of the body
  • Stick the landing in partial squat and arms above eye level
  • Note: Work on finding the sweet spot on your broad jump. Too little lean in the initial take off will not get you far and too much will lead you to a face plant!
