Instructions for Dumbbell Jump Squat

To perform a set of dumbbell jump squat:

1. Starting Position

   Stand with 2 dumbbells at your sides in a neutral grip. Your trunk should be in a neutral position.

2. Eccentric (Lowering) Motion

   Maintain the alignment of your trunk as you push your hips back and down as though sitting on a stool beneath you. Stop when you can no longer maintain the position of your trunk.

3. Bottom Position

   Pause as little as possible at the bottom position before transitioning to the concentric motion.

4. Concentric (Upward) Motion

   Drive into the ground with your feet to extend your legs and jump explosively in the air. Absorb the momentum of the movement when landing by immediately dropping into the next repetition. Remember to breathe normally throughout the entire movement.

5. End position

   Repeat steps 1 through 4 until you have completed the desired number of dumbbell jump squat repetitions before resting.

This completes one set of dumbbell jump squat.
