Standing Box Jumps

Stand in front of a plyo box, swing arms back, drop into a countermovement, and explode up to land softly on the box in an athletic stance. Key points: - Coordinate dynamic arm swing with knee and hip extension - Land softly on the box with knees bent to absorb force - Step down safely rather than jumping down backwards Common mistakes: Landing stiff-legged or pulling knees to chest purely to clear an overly high box.
