Depth Jumps – one of my favorites! Depth jumps are a variation of the box jump that further develop explosive power and increase vertical jump. You’ll start with 2 boxes set up 3 feet apart. The first box should be 12-16” tall and the second box should be 20-26” tall. Standing on the smaller box, take a falling step off the box, land with both feet on the ground and quickly use that stretch reflex to jump onto the second box.
Depth jumps are a great drill for improving vertical leap and power. You should gain energy from the impact that you absorb, stabilize, and transfer to your muscles and tendons for a more explosive jump.
Then, we are going to revisit the Open workout that was announced right in our own backyard – 17.5! If you may remember – this was a tough one. The original time cap was 40 minutes, but today we are going to cap it at 20 minutes. Get as far as you can if the 20 minutes. You can also scale the thruster weight and number of double unders to see if you can finish in that time cap.
