The Squat Gauntlet — 7 Different Squats, 1 Grueling Workout

 

6. Jump Squat Plyometrics


2 sets — 15 reps, no weight
Rest — 30 seconds

 

Target Muscles: Quads, Hamstrings, Butt

Jump squat plyometrics add an element of UBER intense cardio, athleticism, and fat burning to this otherwise power and strength-driven workout.

From a standing position squat down as low as possible and explode upwards into the air. Touch the ground, pause .5 seconds and repeat the movement. Complete 15 reps, rest 30 seconds, and repeat for a second set.

No weights, this is purely geared towards cardio and lower body power.

    These exercises are good but they are in a less then ideal order and the wall squats are honestly a bit of a waste of time as they really only train the legs with out the trunk stability to use them.That teaches people how to use their own leg muscles in ways that won’t make sense in real life and could lead to injury.Lunges or Bridges would have made more sense.
