Box jumps build
explosiveness
■ True... sort of.
Done properly, box
jumps for maximum
height will make
you more explosive,
but they’re also a
good opportunity to
face-plant yourself
unconscious.
Instead, do the
standing long jump
(two-footed take-
off for maximum
distance) and get all
the rewards with
less of the risk.A standing long jump will
increase explosiveness
and reduce injury risk.
