How to Do Linear Depth Jump

Step-by-step instructions, muscles worked and workouts that use the linear depth jump.

How to do it

1. You will need two boxes or benches spaced a few feet away from each other. Begin by standing on one box facing towards the other platform.
2. To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.
3. Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.
4. Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.

Form tips

• Start light and own the movement before adding weight.
• Control the lowering phase — don't drop into it.
• Keep breathing; exhale on the hardest part.
• Stop if you feel sharp pain (different from muscle burn).
