Squat Jumps...You're Doing It Wrong

[@barbaralewis9315]

1:20 and don't blink because during this whole video that is the one and only time she does it.

[@ThnkUBasedGod]

I legitimately just watched 25 of these in a row. No BS, good information, great visuals. Thanks for these!

[@CoachPJNestler]

Thank you for your support! More to come in 2019!

[@wm6549]

I have never seen someone do a squat jump the way the girl was first demonstrating. This video fixes a mistake very few people do.

[@sowhat...]

You mean very few people do this mistake?

[@qarhsi]

maybe the mistakes are not done by many. but the proper way of doing it demonstrated was actually very good

[@bastadtroll8922]

i think we need to see her from behind perfoming these jumps to see if it is familiar, side doesnt help. the pants also dont help.

[@ericawest5881]

1:20 is when she demonstrates it

[@DS-eu2ww]

the squat portion is too deep

[@shilpasingh3412]

Thanks alot!

[@Arlene_DOTK]

Awesome video & info 👍After the explanation, I wish you got her to do a few in a row so we could see the exercise done repeatedly! 🙂

If you were a guy I would've made a snide remark lol

[@tensaantares]

0:42 "It burns and it freezes!" - Smeagol* (*The Two Towers)

[@Angry_Lion]

fact: if in the air muscle tension is zero. the effect of the full time under tension is neglected in this description. full range of motion is not always the best option. it depends on the goal. if performance and athletism is the goal go for it. if muscelgains is the goal dont go full range and stay under tension

[@Lisasoundso]

It would be great and so helpful if you could do a video on different exercises to train your glutes, back, legs etc. (different parts of the body). That would make it possible for your viewers to do those at home. Or do you have something like that on your channel already? Thanks for all the tips!

[@miloudrais5344]

Bons exercices, je vous souhaite de réussir, sincères salutations du Maroc.

[@bodylestari788]

I like this move. this is done every morning

[@susanaplantbasedadoptacat1677]

YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG IS BACK!! amazing tutorials Coach PJ , please don't stop posting these or any tutorials ! thank you so much !

[@CoachPJNestler]

Sorry to disappoint but this series isn't back. just found this one listed as private so I published it. But in the process of a new series of tutorials on all thing health and fitness in 2 minutes or less...stay tuned and thank you for your support!

[@alexbakhshi9298]

Thinking I'm still young and strong like my military days, did some squat jumps and that gave me disc herniation, now after 5 years still I'm suffering from lower back pain on one side! BE CAREFUL on what you do.

[@JohnBreezy22]

Great video. What I would add is that "jumping without the arms swinging forward and up" is NOT a functional movement. All movement should be about functional movement. The worst is when I see people doing squat jumps and they actually throw their arms backward as they come off the ground. I cringe every time.

[@tennisenginenet4573]

Agree. Seems like half the videos on youtube throw the hands backwards which is poor efficiency.

[@liyenong2017]

Hmm I think that swinging the arms up and forward is not an essential functional movement when it comes to jump squats. Whike I agree that swinging your arms up in the air would make you jump higher, the goal here is to engage and use the glutes, legs and ankle muscles to become stronger. you don't see any ballerinas forcing themselves to lift their arm up for every jumps, and well a person who doesn't jump up well using their legs won't get additional benefits from landing down roughly from an higher altitude. 😉

[@JohnBreezy22]

@@liyenong2017 Fair enough. It seems swinging the arms back is a relatively new thing. To me it looks awkward. I think most movement (take ballerinas out of the equation because they are artistically performing) should be done in a manner that optimizes movement efficiency. I see the “jump squat” as a movement derived from athletics. In particular standing long jump, high jump, etc. Yes the arms help increase elevation and distance, but they are also meant for balance and efficiency. The arms back jump seems to provide no benefit. Whether or not my jump is for a competition or a workout, I think movement efficiency is an important part it. What is the benefit of throwing the arms back?

[@liyenong2017]

@@JohnBreezy22 The thing is, there is no force used in the swinging back arm, it is just a normal reaction of an arm swing. look at the person initial squat position, their hands will be in front of their chest at rest, elbows bent, otherwise you expect them to hang low their arms like a monkey and touch the floor? when they jump up, they relaxed their arms, the swing is accelerated by the jump, thus it swing back further. you can try by placing your hand in centre front of your chest like in a prayer mode and release it, it will automatically swing backwards as the tension from the bent elbow is released, causing the arm to go in the opposite direction that is from front to back. so how is this not a functional movement? the same applies for walking, your arms naturally swings as you walk. I wouldn't think of squat jumps belonging to the long or high jumps as the way they jump and land (note that high jump has a mattress for landing safety, an extremely high altitude is not safe for plain ground landing) is different. I think it is more towards basketball, especially with the mention of arm swung high (they need to use all possible body part to reach as high as they could), with very high jumps bring great risk of ankle injuries if you land wrongly. lots of non athletes people do not know the technique of landing safety, they may land on their heels, or not bend their knees back to soften the blow of landing causing bad pressure on their feet (increase risk of joint pain). but yeah no dislike on raising your arms up as it is like a cardio session for the arms and to maintain arm/ shoulder mobility, but when most people think of jump squats, they want to build their glutes and legs.

[@liyenong2017]

@@JohnBreezy22 Oh and I forgot to mention about ankle mobility does matter in how much pressure your knee joints receives, if your ankle mobility is good, your squat should go past your toes when during the landing motion, I noticed that by landing with knees just above feet level and not past toes, the force will travel thru your knees, however with knees over your toes, the impact is reduced to feeling none really. Check out this KZbinr kneesovertoes guy for more details

Glad to have this series back. Keep 'em coming coach!

[@CoachPJNestler]

[@100bands]

Too much talk and little demonstrations. Cut the talk and demonstrate

[@HeroicCoachingwithDan]

Perhaps it is reasonable to consider both methods are valuable relative to individual needs.

[@inlinetarzan]

Why are there so many talks and only one right jump? :-)

[@susanaplantbasedadoptacat1677]

makes no sense to burn your legs for nothing! thanks Coach!!

[@nickatnite2806]

Really like the series of videos. Came across them recently while looking for proper techniques to show my wife. She recently started exercising, and we both learn a lot from these. I have learned to improve my techniques, and she has learned to move properly from the start.

[@gainsfinder6706]

Good stuff, full range of motion and proper triple extension is very important. Nice overview. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@abundantbutterfly8498]

Jeez she's supposed to be demonstration g while you explain

[@justsarah8350]

Hi, there so manny squats exercises out there... I never know when i have to squeeze my glutes ? Squats, donky kicks.... Can you help me? Thanks

[@gulamvariety7932]

KK, not trying to tell you how to do your job- but I would LOVE if you published a whole video on a CORRECT and EFFECTIVE glute workout that satisfies booty shaping needs but debunks fad videos.

[@msteresa653]

Ah the domineering stepdad I never had 😂

[@marieadoarit3382]

Needed this 😅😅!! Thank you 😊

[@bruttosporcoecattivo]

Do you think you need to squat ass to grass during this exercise?

[@fasteddylove-muffin6415]

Guy looks a bit like former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan but I subscribed anyway. Nobody's perfect.

[@theresab7760]

😂😂😂

[@barbaralewis9315]

🤣🤣🤣

[@GhostArtoriass]

0:39 WTF 😅

[@artistanna2447]

Something about that intro feels very early 2000s

[@giovanna3155]

Thank you! ❤️

[@RobertGareau-z2b]

how many sets and repetitions should I do for this exercise to increase my vertical jump and how many times a week should I do this exercise?

[@CoachPJNestler]

6 sets of 4 reps with 90-120 seconds of rest in between, performed 2-3x per week. Plus like, a lot of other stuff

[@deep7nshu]

Is that what you call a deep squat😂

[@m-n-j5510]

Watching your videos is amazing when smoking jack herer 🍃!

[@senadt2495]

Coach PJ, you're doing it very wrong by not introducing the girl's name at all.

[@patriciataylor8505]

Squat jump. I’ve never seen someone squat hop.

[@ziyamudasir3973]

How many times

[@g-babycosmetics6548]

I’m trying theese today

[@domgravel5479]

great video and keep smiling girl

[@Cakez253]

I was doing it right! 😏

[@hamala7437]

[@veg9097]

[@daphnekwong]

U talk too much, show us more pls.

[@tubegalaxy3]

BLA BLA BLA BLA

[@capitalbad1528]

Put on a smile, girl! The woman in these videos looks as if she absolutely hates being there. The way she frowns at the camera is really distracting too. Just a bit of constructive criticism. You can do a lot better!

[@timjkoala7556]

Lol

[@fairytail2484]

I see it but the guy isn't smiling as well, does it not bother you as much or is it okay since he's talking?
