Simple
“Jump, land, and stand” is our standard for the box jump, but there are handful of things to be mindful of. First, make sure there’s a “ninja landing”, where there is little to no audible impact on the box. If there’s a loud, thunderous landing then it tells us you’re sending the energy down, not up, which is the intention of the movement. Obviously, the high repetition of such a movement could lead to foot/ankle/knee/hip/back issues. Second, you’ll notice Justin lands with his hips back- this loads the large posterior chain (hamstrings, glutes, and back) rather than just the ankle and knee. This skill can transfer over to your power landings in your olympic lifts. Finally resting on the top of the box allows for better rep cycling and rest management. The simple thought of not staying on the ground too long means that you’ll continue moving, improving your fitness and your workout score.
