Box jumps are a cornerstone plyometric movement because they build explosive power through hip extension, improve speed and agility, strengthen the lower body and core while enhancing coordination, develop endurance and stamina when programmed in volume, and challenge mental toughness by overcoming fear and hesitation.
Key points for overcoming fear: Start with lower boxes or even stacked plates, practice step-ups and low jumps to build confidence, and focus on form and consistency rather than height.
Tips & Tricks for Box Jumps
Start low, build up: Begin with a manageable height and increase gradually.
Perfect your landing: Land softly with full foot contact.
Engage your arms: Use a strong arm swing to generate upward momentum.
Train confidence: Visualize successful jumps and practice step-ups.
Prioritize consistency: Focus on clean reps over heights.
