Split-Stance Jump Press

Body Position: 
  1. From a front squat position step into a lunge – eccentric phase is slow (strength component) 
  2. Then we step out of the lunge by jumping forcefully upwards to create momentum and press the bar over the head, landing in neutral stance - concentric phase is fast (power component)
  3. Step into a lunge with the other leg and do the same
