How to do it

1. Begin standing with your knees slightly bent.
2. Quickly squat a short distance, flexing the hips and knees, and immediately extend to jump for maximum vertical height.
3. As you go up, tuck your heels by flexing the knees, attempting to touch the buttocks.
4. Finish the motion by landing with the knees only partially bent, using your legs to absorb the impact.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Double Leg Butt Kick from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
