Build explosive lower body power with the box jump progression! Level 1 has you jump and land with both legs. Level 2 has you jump with 1 leg and land on 2 legs. Level 3 has you jump and land on 1 leg. Jumping onto the box dissipates the landing forces on your joints so its a great place to start for beginners, injured athletes, or trainees who are in-season or already have a high training volume. Please note how I slowly step down one leg at a time between reps! If you are new to this (or have tight calves/ankles) and jump back down there is too high of a risk of damaging your heel chord/Achilles tendon. I like sets of 1-5 reps for max power with a pause and reset between reps. 1 set every 2-3 minutes is a good time frame to work within. Do this before your strength work or first in your training session when youre most fresh. #YourBodyIsYourBarbell #Jumps #JumpTraining #Plyos #Dunks #Dunking
