Is this Jump Height HUMANLY Possible!! Trap Bar Potentiated Box Jump Aaron Mcglaughlin

Here’s collegiate football QB & GSP sponsored pro Aaron Mcglaughlin on Instantaneous Post Activation Potentiation Trap Bar Box Jump which is a phenomenal way to boost explosive power & jump height. Here’s why.

The loading & motor unit recruitment from 90 deg eccentric isometric trap bar deadlift not only wakes up a large number of muscle fibers helping to prepare them for the subsequent jump but it also activates muscle spindles which enhances proprioceptive feedback & kinesthetic awareness ultimately enhancing jumping & landmine mechanics.

These can be done with brief pause or immediate drop & jump. I’ve found pause version forces athletes to cognitively think about eccentric induced co-contraction which is a key element of performance training as it produces strong muscular contractions (i.e. slingshot effect) due to reciprocal inhibition.

Also notice he hits his landing well below 90 deg without blowing his joints out or spontaneously exploding even though we never train below 90 deg. His body is easily capable of getting into the position because 90 deg EI prepares you to handle any stimulus including deep ROM.

These were performed on my fav plyometric box jump platform the Ronin Box from Titan. It’s adjustable in 1 inch increments up to 72 inches & also has rounded padded platform so athletes avoid scraping shins. Has handles for stepping on & off making it very joint friendly.

But Joel he landed in the forbidden deep squat position! Doesn't that put too much stress on your knees?
