How to do it

  1. Place a mini band around your thighs just above your knees.
  2. Sit into a quarter squat, pushing your knees out against the band.
  3. Explode straight up into a jump, keeping tension on the band.
  4. Land softly back into the squat and immediately load the next jump.

The one cue that matters

Keep your knees pushed out against the band on landing so they never cave on impact.
