Linear Depth Jump

A plyometric exercise to increase lower body power and explosiveness.

Instructions

• Stand on a box or platform with feet shoulder-width apart.
• Step off the box, landing softly on the balls of your feet.
• Upon landing, immediately jump vertically as high as possible.
• Land softly and reset for the next repetition.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Landing flat-footed instead of on the balls of the feet.
• Not jumping immediately upon landing, losing the plyometric effect.
• Allowing knees to cave inward during landing and jumping.
