52" box jump

[cutlet#]

Guy at my gym did a 52" box jump today. That's really good, right?

Who all does box jumps here and what's your best?

That's clever.

I'm not very explosive.

That's alright. It depends on height, flexibility, and a bunch of other stuff. I did a 50" last December and went up continually until the box fell at 55" or something like that. Regular vertical jumps where you just got for a certain height without jumping on to a box work just as well and are a heck of a lot safer.

Of note: I had a 25" SVJ and did a box jump of 54" at the absolute highest so just because you can jump onto a high box doesn't mean you can actually jump high.

I have a pathetic SVJ but can jump onto the tailgate of a full-size pickup truck pretty easily. A Tundra, I think. How high is that?

[MBasic]

keep it down man !

Regular vertical jumps where . . . jumping on to a box work just . . . .
25" SVJ and did a box jump . . . actually jump high.

SHHHHhhhhhhhh...................
