Explosive is the word my friend.

How you feeling after the deck squat pushpress rounds? Fun right?
At any rate, one thing I didn’t mention in the captions on this next video, but is mentioned in my previous jump videos is the importance of the landing. No matter what kind of jumping you’re doing at what intensity, land softly. You shouldn’t feel jarring or a big impact in your joints when you hit the ground. If you do, practice your depth drops to hammer in proper landing before moving on to jumping of any kind.
