Knee bend and body extension alternating
Power
Individual work
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, arms bent in front of your body (hands at chest height), bend your knees to a right angle at the knee joints (buttocks at knee height, deep squat), stretch one arm overhead at the same time as you stretch your legs (slightly crosswise, hand approximately at the height of the opposite shoulder), squat down again and stretch the other arm upwards with the next body stretch.
Attention:
Move your buttocks backwards, not your knees forwards. Keep your knees behind your toes. Keep your back straight at all times.
Lighten:
Do not lower your body too low (greater angle in the knees).

Kneeling position and jumping onto an object ► kneeling position & box jump
Power
Individual work
Stand on one knee, alternate between standing on one leg and assuming a deep squat position. From the squat position, tilt your upper body slightly forwards, stretch your arms backwards at an angle to your body (like a ski jumper on a ski jump), push off the floor powerfully to perform a jump onto a raised object (plyo box or swinging box element incl. top) (use the momentum of the arms), straighten your upper body (stand on the object) and jump back to the starting position (possibly the other side of the object), then return to the kneeling position. Change the starting leg with each execution.
Attention:
Land as softly as possible (cushion the jump with your knees).
Lighten:
Lower intensity between each execution; lower the height of the object.
Harden:
Additional weight; higher object.
1 flat bench/plyo box/swivel box
2-4 weight cuffs/1 weight waistcoat ► Make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Kneeling position and jumping onto an object ► kneeling position & box jump
Power
Individual work
From a kneeling position, jump into a deep squat. From the squat, lean the upper body slightly forward, extend the arms diagonally backward along the body (like a ski jumper on the ramp), then push powerfully off the ground to perform a jump onto an elevated surface (plyo box or Swedish box element including the top), using the swing of the arms. Straighten the upper body while standing on the surface, then jump back to the starting position (possibly to the other side of the equipment) and return to the kneeling position.
Attention:
Land as softly as possible (cushion the jump with your knees).
Lighten:
Lower intensity between each execution; lower the height of the object.
Harden:
Additional weight; higher object.
1 flat bench/plyo box/swivel box
2-4 weight cuffs/1 weight waistcoat ► Make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Headstand to support ► tripod to plank kip
Power
Individual work
In a kneeling position, the head and bent arms are supported on the floor; a triangle is formed on the floor with the head and both hands. The larger the area of the triangle (i.e. the further apart the corners are), the greater the stability. This basic position is also the starting position for getting into the headstand. Now lift your knees off the floor and stretch your legs so that they are only resting on the tips of your toes (the position roughly corresponds to the letter "V"). Then lift one leg at a time off the floor and bend it (lower legs/soles of the feet pointing upwards, thighs pointing diagonally downwards); now the body is supported only by the head and hands (maintain balance). From this position, the legs are pushed out together at an angle backwards and upwards, while at the same time the arms are stretched, finally landing in the push-up position (high support, face/gaze downwards).
Attention:
When landing in the high support position (push-up position), consciously tense your torso so that you assume the position immediately (without sagging beforehand).
Lighten:
Lift and bend only one leg off the floor, the other leg remains stretched out on the floor (tiptoe position), making it easier to keep your balance. From this position, push yourself into a high support position.
Harden:
Additional weight (on the feet if necessary)
1 soft mat (small)
2 weight cuffs ► to make the exercise more difficult (additional weight)
Power press with medicine ball ► shoulder press
Power
Individual work
Starting position:
Stand upright with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold the ball with both hands in front of the chest, elbows slightly bent.
Movement execution:
Press the ball overhead in a controlled manner until the arms are almost extended. Hold briefly, then bring the ball back to the chest. Perform the movement smoothly and evenly.
Attention:
Keep the back stable and upright; avoid arching the lower back; Head in a neutral position; gaze forward.
Lighten:
Perform seated; use a lighter weight.
Harden:
Use a heavier weight.

1 long bench ► to simplify the exercise
Circular movement of the arms while standing upright
Power
Individual work
When standing upright, hold a weighted disc in front of your head with your arms bent and move the disc around your head with your arms bent, keeping the rest of your body stable except for your arms. The weight must be kept at head height throughout the exercise. Change the direction of rotation after one or more rounds.
Attention:
Upright posture.
Lighten:

Harden:
More weight.
1 weight disc
Circular movement of the arms in push-up position
Power
Individual work
Push-up position (high support, face/gaze downwards) with legs slightly straddling and arms supported on two small weight discs. Slide one arm including the disc forwards along the floor as an extension of the body, then move the outstretched arm to the side (90 degree angle to the body) and return to the starting position (the movement corresponds to drawing a quarter circle, so to speak). Back in the push-up position, perform the same exercise with the other arm/disc.
Attention:
Head, torso, hips and knees form a line (do not let your buttocks sag, tighten your stomach).
Lighten:
Just hold the basic position (push-up position); reduce the range of motion of the playing arm or only move it forwards and back to the starting position.
Harden:
Additional weight (on the back and/or arms).
