Breathing
Exhale during the explosive effort, then take a controlled breath as you reset. Recover between repetitions so breathing and landing control stay consistent.
Getting your next view ready…
The Rocket Jump primarily works the quadriceps, with the calves and hamstrings supporting the movement. It is a plyometrics movement that needs no equipment.

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

General guidance based on the exercise and equipment. It is not personal coaching or medical advice.
Your progress
Keep the same exercise variation, range of motion and recording method when comparing Rocket Jump sessions.
Repetitions and completed sets.
Example: 10, 9 and 8 completed reps. Keep each set separate instead of recording only the total.
Compare repetitions using the same variation and range. A different variation needs its own history; extra reps are not directly comparable if the movement changes.
