Exercise Description

The depth jump to box jump builds explosive power and reactive strength. It trains your muscles to produce maximum force quickly for better athletic performance.

How To

1. Stand on a box 12-18 inches high with another box 3-4 feet in front of you 2. Step off the first box and land softly on both feet with bent knees 3. As soon as you hit the ground, explode up immediately into a jump toward the second box 4. Land on the box with both feet, absorbing impact with bent knees and hips 5. Step down carefully and reset for the next depth jump to box jump rep

Form Tips

• Keep ground contact time as short as possible - think of the floor as hot lava • Land softly on your forefoot, not your heels, to reduce impact • During depth jump to box jump, keep your chest up and core tight throughout • Start with lower boxes and build height as your reactive strength improves

Common Mistakes

• Taking too long on the ground between the depth jump and box jump portions • Landing too hard on heels instead of absorbing impact with bent joints • Using boxes that are too high before mastering proper depth jump to box jump form
