What about if I'm going for the standing box jump WR? Do you still not like going for max height if its to test the full potential of what an athlete can do?
@@arbadart1012 If your training specifically for that, great. My athletes are training for the court and field - we can test max jump other (better) ways, like utilizing the Vertec vertical testing system. A max box jump is not a vertical, but a combination of how high you can lift your knees (mobility) and jump at the same time.
@@SimpleSpeedCoach I mean I hope universally people know a box jump isn't a measure of a person's true vertical. It is however a super fun and flashy way to make it look like you can jump high. I completely agree that it's dangerous to jump to those heights and an athlete going for other goals shouldn't be doing them super high. Seen too many dumb people with sketchy ways of making stuff higher lol
@@arbadart1012 I wish that was the truth! It can be fun. I have to weigh the good with the bad. Often athletes try to high, or land wrong, etc. and my #1 job is to do no harm and then improve performance. High box jumps come with too much liability risk IMO and I also want to teach good habits of landing the same way you take off.
Coach, The video is good but I don't know how many repetitions and series have to be done? And another thing, this box exercise, is it 2 or 3 times a week? And how many weeks? If you can kindly answer me. Thank you so much!
Awesome! Thx for the tips!
Thanks! No problem!
Show off... love the videos, Coach!
HA, I'm just an old man out here trying! Thanks Forest, hope your well!
thanks
Glad to help!
Awesome
Thanks John!
Thx bro
No Problem!
What I notice about lower box jumps, is I don't use as much power as I do with higher box jumps. To use maximum explosiveness, what plyo trains, I have to have the box as high as I can confidently jump on.
I wont disagree with you, but a higher box jump to me is still something I can land the same way I took off. A box Jump is not a knee lift or hip flexion, you should be able to stay in an athletic position through the landing. I always coach my athletes to jump higher than the box and anticipate the landing.
@@SimpleSpeedCoach i see. What's the purpose of landing the same way you take off? I feel very comfortable landing with my knees at 90°. Though I jump in a similar stance as you. I was doing lower box jumps, but there is something different when I have a little bit of a rush knowing I have no choice but to make the jump and there's no room to get a little lazy.
@@GregRosolowski The only reason for doing a box jump is to eliminate the compression, impact and force of landing normal (not on a box). Sure it gives you a goal, but from a training perspective it allows you do a maximal effort jump (hip extension and power movement) without the impact of a normal landing - allowing you to program more jumps.
Athletes need to be prepared for the next movement (after the jump), landing in an athletic position. The way you are talking about landing is nonathletic, flat footed and not prepared to move again. Also, landing athletic can teach athletes to build the neuro-pathways to absorb force, which will also help with creating force!
@@SimpleSpeedCoach thanks for the tip! that actually makes a lot of sense for most sports. However, my sport is skateboarding. It is important to train how high you can bring your legs up for many things, but landing in an athletic stance makes sense too for so I will be training lower box jumps too now. Is there another way to train bringing your legs up higher with a jump? Like you mentioned , jumping hurdles is too much impact to train regularly. Perhaps a hurdle before a box? Also, how long should a plyo session be if I'm weight training right after? I typically do 30 min plyo before 30 min of weights for legs.
@@GregRosolowski That makes sense for a skateboarding - as you land with impact a lot. Hurdles are a good option, just simple tuck jumps would work, hurdles before a box are also a good idea! True plyos really don't need to be done for more than 5 min. - but plyo type exercises with the correct breaks and reps could be done for up to 20 min. I soppose. Best of Luck!
is 20 inch box jump enough to practice for increasing vertical jump? and how much maximum dumbell weight or load can a person use for jumps
Thanks for the comment. Really depends on the exercise, but 20 inch should be fine. The link below can give you some more ideas on how to train to increase vertical. Overload also depends on your skill level, strength and body. However, typically you can start with 10-20 lbs. and progress from there.

@@SimpleSpeedCoach thank you very much love your videos
@@strikerz2668 Thanks! Happy to help!!
Would you recommend eventually increasing the intensity with added resistance instead of adding height?
Correct, and if we add resistance I would not typically have our athletes jumping onto a box.
what weight exercises should i do in the gym to increase my vertical?
That is a loaded question - Here is 2 playlists to get you started!

Vertical jump and box jump on two different things.
That 50 inch jump was impressive, anyone can 36 inch
Ha, it took a lot out of me. To be young again!
Nice
Thanks!
whoa..nice!
👌
Can u increase vertical just doing Plyometrics
Yes and then no. Initially it will improve because of neuro, but then you need to incorporate strength, mobility, balance and mechanics training, among others.
For the average person, sure. But for those competing or breaking records... I'd say there's nothing wrong with wanting to test your max jump, given all the other variables are safe and in place.
Im specifically talking about training field and sport athletes. I'm not sure I've never heard of a box jump height sport competition, but sure if the safe variables are in place - go for it.
I’m trying to get my box jump my 30 inch I’m 4 8 and I can’t get it next time I go to gym I will try this I’m 11 years old and I really want to get it
Great! Good Luck!
Good luck and how are you with box jumps now?
Check out my slow motion seated box jump. I try to focuse on form
Great!
Im 5.3 and 14 and i got a 4.2, I still cant beat this
Nice! 42 that's big time!
@@SimpleSpeedCoach thanks
Coach got some bunnies 🐰!!!
I try! Getting old now!!
Hello
Hello
Can you dunk?
Yes sir! However, I just turned 39 - getting a bit harder!
Sir
Hello Sir!
why not put a mat down on the ground
You could do that, but there is no need for extra safety precautions if you do the drill right. Also, not everyone has a mat. By completing the drill correctly you get more out of it from a sport performance training perspective. Thanks for the comment!
Only issue is my boxes are too weak
You gotta have strong, well built boxes for sure!
Yeah almost took a bad landing from it collapsing
@@vixtermono5901 I'm sure, be careful and smart!
@@vixtermono5901 use an actual box made for box jumping lmao. this man is using packing boxes probably
And also just scout out spots for random ledges/fences/railings and measure them with a tape measure to know the height, plus if it’s a fence or railing, you have to practice railing precisions to make sure that you don’t miss and fall. Also, if you’re doing any sort of box jumps, you should always have the reflexes to bounce back and land on your feet instead of falling back, plus there’s also catching yourself with your hands, craning it (one foot lands on it and the other leg is straight and touching the side of the structure), or a combination of these things. As for shinjuries, you just have to accept that fact that it might be possible to get a scrape/sore/bruise on your shin and that you’ll only be able to get a minor shinjury from box jumps, plus practicing will just improve your reflexes and prevent shinjuries anyways. Also, don’t wear shin guards because then you could get scared of not wearing shin guards, plus your reflexes won’t be as good and you’ll get more shinners, but you’ll just get away with it while wearing shin guards.

LMFAO ACTAULLY IF YOU CAN JUMP 50 INCHES ONTO A BOX(WHICH ISNT HARD FOR ME) YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO LAND SAFELY AND MOST BOXES ARE STRAPPED DOWN. AND SECOND YOUR NOT EVEN DOING THE EXERCISE RIGHT YOU DONT EVEN FULLY EXTEND UP.
Thanks for the comment. Interesting, I've been in the industry for more than 20 years and not once seen a strapped down plyo box - Because they don't exist! Also at (0:16), I do fully extend the hips, it just may be to fast for you to see. The intent of this video was to help people apply the purpose of the box jump correctly to their training. Impressive, less than 1 percent of 1 percent of the population can do a 50 inch box jump - Good for you! Thanks for watching!
@@SimpleSpeedCoach dude, where's that statistic from? i'm not an pro athlete and i can do 52 standing and many of my friends who do tricking or skateboarding can do 50+ easy. you're hanging with the wrong crowd.
@@user-ky9qn4pg3w It comes from working with 4,000 plus high school, collegiate and professional athletes over the last 20 years. Understand what I'm saying - to do it correctly you must takeoff and land in the same position. Your friends may be able to land on the box by lifting their legs and knees up, but that's exactly what I'm not allowing with the athletes I train. People just like to embellish what they can actually do! If you and your friends can do it correctly, I'm impressed, good for you! - still less than 1 percent of the population.
@@SimpleSpeedCoach You've never seen a strapped plyo box?? really? They all have velcro straps to connect them together all around them at my gym
@@troliskimosko Yes, I have seen velcro strap plyo boxes (I have them), but not a strapped down box to the floor. Problem is, after you stack them to a certain height they still wobble and move - even if you place it against a wall. However, really not the point of my argument in the video. To do it correctly and with purpose, you must be able to land the same way you take off.
You were running 😂 try doing it standing still, you couldn't.
Your right, I was running - if you watched the full video I was showing how to do it right and how NOT to do it, so I'm not sure what point your making. Also, yes in my prime I could do it (99% of people could not) - but there is no transfer to sport trying to jump and land on a 56" box - becomes more of a hip flexion movement than a jump at that point. Thanks for the comment!
No shit, neither could you LOL why you hating?
Quatschkopf
Not sure what is nonsense, but appreciate the comment.
Talk less show more
Thanks, some people just need more detail.
basically you are teaching people to land on their toes??? And talking baout safety at the same time :(
Little more complex than that, but you are correct. The 'How To' of the drill and why the '60' inch JJ Watt box jumps are proving nothing nor doing anything for him athletically - other than how high he can lift his knees. What is the actually purpose of the drill, how to get everything you can out of the drill - while being safe. So, pick the correct box height, land the same way you takeoff, land soft and controlled on the balls of the feet - engaging your neurological system, how to use your arms, how to takeoff, correct body and limb positions, anticipation, balance, power and yes - how to be safe and smart... :)
Talk more, show less
Thanks!
Talk less and show more
If only it was that easy.
