Jump Squat
The jump squat is a quads jump done with bodyweight only. It also works the glutes and calves. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Quads (minimum 10 sets per 30 days) and toward Routine only, not Gains: it is not load-scored, so high rep counts never inflate your volume or e1RM.

How weyt.ai scores it
- Balance: every logged set counts toward the Quads group, which needs at least 10 sets per 30 days for full credit.
- Gains: not load-scored. Core, isometric and conditioning work contributes nothing to volume, e1RM or PRs, even with added weight, so it can never inflate your Gains. It still counts fully for Balance and Routine.
- Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.
Scoring is deterministic code, not AI: the same sets always give the same Weyt Score. Read the method on the about page.
