How to perform

  1. 1

    Begin with a box or bench 1-2 feet in front of you. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.

  2. 2

    Perform a short squat in preparation for the jump; swing your arms behind you.

  3. 3

    Rebound out of this position, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump as high as possible. Swing your arms forward and up.

  4. 4

    Jump over the bench, landing with the knees bent, absorbing the impact through the legs.

  5. 5

    Turn around and face the opposite direction, then jump back over the bench.

Important tips

  • Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.

  • Keep your knees tracking over your toes.

  • An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
