Movement instructions

Set up, move with control, and reassess.

1
Assume a relaxed stance facing the box or platform approximately an arm's length away. Arms should be down at the sides and legs slightly bent.
2
Using the arms to aid in the initial burst, jump upward and forward, landing with feet simultaneously on top of the box or platform.
3
Immediately drop or jump back down to the original starting place; then repeat the sequence.

Technique guidance

Breathe, avoid common faults, and train safely.

Breathing

Exhale during the explosive effort, then take a controlled breath as you reset. Recover between repetitions so breathing and landing control stay consistent.

Common mistakes

Landing stiffly or noisily instead of absorbing force under control.
Letting the knees collapse inward on takeoff or landing.
Continuing after jump height or landing quality deteriorates.

Safety

Use a clear, non-slip landing area and begin with a lower-impact variation.
Stop the set when takeoff or landing control deteriorates.
Inspect the implement and clear its movement path before starting.
