Box Drops

BeginnerBodyweight

A plyometric drill that trains your legs to soak up impact rather than create it. Where a box jump is about launching, this is the reverse skill: you drop off a box and stick a controlled, quiet landing. Great for athletes learning to decelerate and protect their joints when they come down.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Pick a box that suits your height and stand on it with your toes near the front edge.

  2. 2

    Hold a tall posture with your chest lifted and eyes level.

  3. 3

    Let one foot drift off the edge and shift your weight forward so you start to fall.

  4. 4

    As you descend, gather both feet underneath you.

  5. 5

    Touch down on the balls of your feet, bending your knees and pushing your hips back into a soft squat.

  6. 6

    Reach your arms forward as you catch the landing, then step back up onto the box to reset.
