Tuck Jump
- Pro

- Home
- Functional
The tuck jump dips down and jumps up explosively, pulling both knees toward your chest while airborne before landing softly to reset. The explosive jump and controlled landing train the quads, glutes and calves under repeated impact. Intermediate athletes use it at home or in functional training, mainly as a finisher for reps.
