How Iridium Programs This

Iridium schedules this high-intensity plyometric movement only when your recovery score and recent leg volume indicate you have the capacity for explosive output. The algorithm tracks your RPE and rep performance relative to body weight to gauge progressive overload accurately without external iron. If your 7-day training history shows accumulated fatigue in the quadriceps, Iridium will substitute a lower-impact variation to prevent performance degradation.

Form Cues

Keep tension on the straps but rely on your legs
Drop your back knee straight down toward the floor
Explode upward through your front heel
Drive your back knee toward your chest at the top
Land softly on the ball of your foot then roll to the heel

Don't

Don't pull yourself up with your arms
Don't let your front knee collapse inward on landing
Don't slam your foot down heavily
Don't round your shoulders forward

Common Mistakes

Using too much arm assistance
Landing with a stiff leg
Leaning too far forward
Not achieving full hip extension

Muscles Worked

This movement is highly effective for developing explosive power in the quadriceps and glutes through a large range of motion. The hamstrings and calves work heavily to stabilize the knee and ankle during the dynamic landing phase, while the core remains engaged to prevent rotation and maintain an upright torso.
