Correct Execution
- bend the knees, until your glutes almost touch the seat area
- guide the arms back
- bring them forward while stretching the legs to gain momentum
- push yourself off the ground and jump onto the bench
- the feet are together then
- soft-land with bent knees
- jump down and with a soft landing there, you can also step down to preserve the joints
- go on with the next rep immediately
- do this for a longer period of time
tip for the workout
