How to do a box jump over
3 steps- Approach the box square, jump onto it, and come off the far side.
- Alternatively jump laterally over the box without touching it, if the workout allows.
- Turn to face the box again and repeat from the other side.
What counts as a rep
Movement standard- The athlete must go over the box. Unlike the box jump, no extension is required on top unless the workout specifies it.
- Lateral jump-overs are legal where prescribed, and the hands may be used on the box when jumping over.
- Both feet must clear the box on a lateral rep. Stepping on the box is a different movement.
Common faults
2 faults
Turning fully around between reps, which adds a half second and a lot of distance to every rep.
FixCome off the far side already facing the box, or work laterally so you never turn at all.
Pausing on top of the box out of habit, because the box jump standard trained you to.
FixThere is no extension standard here. Treat the top as a stepping stone rather than a position.
