When it comes to building explosive power in your legs while simultaneously burning fat, there are few exercises more effective than TRX jump squats. And in this video, you’re going to discover how to do TRX jump squats properly, along with a few variations that will deliver different results.

Now, if you’ve ever done regular jump squats before, you know how demanding this motion can be in terms of both your cardio and leg strength. And while the TRX jump squat is similar, there’s going to be a little more focus on creating a fluid motion as you hold on to the straps, and really popping out of that squat after landing softly. Let’s check it out.

How to Setup A TRX Jump Squat (0:35)

Because this is a very dynamic motion, it’s important to have the proper setup with some kind of suspension trainer anchored firmly on a stable apparatus. And the end of the straps should hang roughly around knee height.

Now, when it comes to the question of how to do a TRX jump squat, probably the most important step is finding that right spot to jump from. Because we need to go back far enough to create tension on the straps. But if we go too far back, your squat will suffer a bit.

Here’s the proper positioning for the tax jump squat (1:15)

Again, getting into the right setup position is essential for how to do a TRX jump squat properly. Not only will it increase the effectiveness of the motion, but it will also help keep your knees, hips, and back safe and make the exercise much smoother.

Let’s dive into the actual exercise tutorial (1:52)

With any dynamic exercise like the tax jump squat, there are going to be some finer form points in the motion itself that we need to focus on to both increase the effectiveness and safety of the exercise. Dive into this section here to discover the full form tutorial of how to do a try jump squat.

Sets and Reps for Weight Loss (3:13)

When it comes to working this into your routine, there are really two ways you can approach it. If your focus is more on conditioning and weight loss, you’re doing 2 sets of 10-20 moderate jumps continuously. You can do this either as a warmup or finisher to a workout routine.

Sets and Reps for Strength, Speed & Power (3:47)

If you’re currently more focused on speed and power, then you want to cut down the reps to about 3-4 single reps and really crank up the intensity and explosiveness of each jump. Whereas with the weight loss TRX jump squats we’re jumping at a slightly medium height, each jump here should be intended to get up as high as you can go. (Remember to land with soft knees). This is great to do before a big leg motion like squats or deadlifts.
