Lateral Box Jump

How to do it

Assume a comfortable standing position, with a short box positioned next to you. This will be your starting position. Quickly dip into a quarter squat to initiate the stretch reflex, and immediately reverse direction to jump up and to the side. Bring your knees high enough to ensure your feet have good clearance over the box.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
