Plyometric Exercises – Split Squat

This plyometric exercise is a modified version of the original full squat, but this will be done on only one leg. What will happen is that you will have to raise one of your legs on a platform behind you to separate the other leg. Next, carry a dumbbell on both hands and bend the other leg to lower your body. Do this until the knee of the leg at your back is almost an inch from the floor, and quickly go back to your original position with force. This is a very popular drill among vertical jumping experts everywhere since it really has a great impact on muscles, especially the glutes and hamstring. This should be performed consistently and properly for 10-20 reps per set.
