How to Box Jump the Right Way to Activate More Muscle Fibers

Always hilarious when theres like 10 comments and they answer literally none of them. Quality channel.

The reason for the box is to decrease the landing forces experienced when landing from a regular jump. If you hop off the box and experience the landing forces anyway, there is no reason to use a box. If you simply want to focus on the take-off portion of the jump and don't care about the landing forces, there is also no reason to use a box. I'm glad you all mentioned the part about people using it for cardio though.

This is great guys and I love the breakdown - I do these as well and love to show clients the CORRECT way to do these!

Pogo hops are better if you want to jump higher. Nothing Beats consistent tension.

I think you got PAP backwards, mate. Heavy squats will improve your vertical jump, unless you have evidence for the other way around. Also, is there evidence that it will build more muscle?

What if your intentions are to get out of the bottom of the squat quicker? Would going lower, and then exploding have more carry overs for a power lifter?

Good video. Quick question. Some confusion on volume. Early in the video u say these should be kept at low reps with high quality, but in the MAPS PERFORMANCE Power phase the protocol calls for 4 sets of 15-20. Can you clarify?

@Sal Di Stefano, you should get your own channel. You stand out to the others

I just watched a video that said the exact opposite. It’s just matters what you’re training for power or cardio?

What's the best way to do these when training for running?

Depends what your training for. I do 24 inch box jumps for sets of 12 as fast as I can without any pausing between jumps. THAT is just as legitimate as what is explained in the video. I train martial arts and the training as shown in the video is not for me. Too slow. It CAN be used as cardio and explosive movement training. It works both the way we train.

What should the height be for box jumps, am training for cycling ?
