Hip Dominant Jump Power Training
Hip dominant jump power training builds glute and hamstring drive for vertical jumps—paired with landing work and spaced from high plyo contact days.
Hip dominant jump power training emphasizes glutes and hamstrings—trap-bar jumps, hip thrusts, RDLs, and broad jumps—to supply the extension force behind vertical and first-step explosiveness. Quads still matter for absorption, but weak hips cap jump height and invite knee dominance on landing.
Keep heavy days away from high plyometric contact sessions.
Common questions
-
Can hip thrusts replace squats for jump training?
They complement squats—hips need both extension strength and knee-dominant absorption. Run hip thrusts and squats in the same mesocycle with managed volume.
