Box jumps

When doing box jumps make sure you are getting full hip extension on your jump and building sound landing mechanics is the most important thing, not height. Leave your ego at the door because there are no box-jump world championships. Without full hip extension, you'll limit the carryover to explosive lifts and athletic events, thus minimizing the training effect. The box jump is used to build power and explosiveness. We monitor how many jumps and implement them into our athletes programs. They are done at the first of the workout to make sure the athlete is warm ready and not tired.
