TRX Reverse Lunge to Jump
The TRX Reverse Lunge to Jump is an advanced plyometric exercise that builds explosive single-leg power and stability using suspension straps. It primarily targets the glutes and quads while challenging your balance and cardiovascular system.
Because this is a high-impact plyometric movement, the AI analyzes your daily recovery data (HRV and sleep) to ensure your central nervous system is ready for explosive training. If your previous sets show a drop in intensity or if you report knee pain, the app can instantly regress this to a non-impact variation like the TRX Reverse Lunge to Knee Drive. Additionally, by tracking RPE, the AI ensures you stop before fatigue compromises your landing mechanics, reducing injury risk.
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 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.
