Best Use For Improving Vertical Jump

Box Jumps are an excellent exercise for developing explosive strength as they require you to develop your jumping force from a dead stop.

Technique Tips

Select a medium sized box, stand in front of it (not too close that you will hits your knees or shins onthe way up), and then as quick as you can jump up onto it. Try and land as softly as possible. This is a good exercise to use for extra volume due to its low impact landings.
