How to do the Split Jump
Assume a lunge stance position with one foot forward with the knee bent, and the rear knee nearly touching the ground.
Ensure that the front knee is over the midline of the foot.
Extending through both legs, jump as high as possible, swinging your arms to gain lift.
As you jump, bring your feet together, and move them back to their initial positions as you land.
Absorb the impact by reverting back to the starting position.
Sets and reps
| Goal | Sets | Reps | Rest |
|---|---|---|---|
| Muscle growth | 3–4 | 6–15 | 1 min |
| Muscular endurance | 2–3 | 15–20 | 1 min |
When you hit the top of the rep range on every set, add a rep or a harder variation next session.
Starting points from training research. Stop each set 1–3 reps short of failure.
Muscles worked
Primary
Secondary
The front of your thighs straightens the knee. Squats, leg presses and lunges with deep knee bend build them; leg extensions isolate them.
