Using Squat Jumps to Develop Baseball Leg Power

Squat Jumps – 2 Ways to Intensify Your Squat Jumps to Increase Your Fitness and Leg Power!

As I have said before short and intense always beats out long and easy! When you hear the two words “squat jumps,” you know just how intense things can get when it comes to your strength program. Please take a minute to read and learn more about 2 ways to take your squat jumps to all new levels.

1. Dumbell Squat Jumps: This is where you want to make sure you have access to a pair of dumbells that you don’t mind holding as you fly through the air in your jumps. Like most squat jumps you always start with your feet about slightly wider than shoulder width distance apart. You want to hold the bells by your side as you perform each squat jump in continuous succession one after the other. A decently strong guy can start with a pair of 20 lb dumbells and a decently strong girl can go with a pair of 15 lb bells.

2. Cycled Split Squat Jumps: This is a sure way to increase your overall fitness and leg power. With this squat jump you want to start with your legs split in the position just like you would be in between a set of lunges. One leg is bent at 90 degrees in front of you with the other leg’s knee on the ground. From here you want to jump explosively driving your body off of the ground primarily with the front leg. When in the air switch your legs and land back on the ground the same way you did when you started now with the your legs switched. This is a great plyometric and conditioning drill that you can practice in order to achieve tremendous vertical strength and fitness.
