How to perform

  1. Use a low stable box and step off rather than jumping.
  2. Land softly with knees and hips flexed.
  3. Stabilize before repeating.

Tips

  • Control the movement and use a range you can repeat consistently.
  • Choose a load or variation that lets you keep the quads as the intended focus.

Common mistakes

  • Using more load or speed than you can control.
  • Losing stable body position during the difficult portion.
