Linear Depth Jump

Technique

How to perform Linear Depth Jump

1. Position two stable plyo boxes or benches suitable for landing, with enough clear floor between them for the drop and rebound.
2. Stand on the first platform facing the second, using heights and spacing that allow controlled contacts.
3. Step off the first platform without adding an upward jump and bring both feet to the floor between the platforms.
4. Absorb contact through your ankles, knees and hips, then promptly reverse into a forward and upward jump.
5. Extend through your hips, knees and ankles to reach the second platform.
6. Land with both feet on the second platform, bend your legs to absorb the impact and settle your balance.
7. Step down and reset before repeating.
