Coach's Tips

This squat variation adds a small bounce at the bottom.

How to Bounce Squat

Starting Position

1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart in a regular squat position.

2. Hold a barbell or dumbbells and prepare with your chest up.

Proper Form

1. Go down into a squat and lightly bounce up and down near the floor.

2. After 1-2 bounces, push off the floor with your heels and stand up.

3. Repeat the same pattern.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. Don't give too much recoil; just maintain muscle tension within a small range.

2. If you feel strain in your knees or lower back, it's also good to substitute with regular squats.
