How to perform

1. 01Stand to the side of a box with your inside foot on top of it, close to the edge.

3. 03Land in the same position that you started, using your inside leg to decelerate the impact.

Form cues

• —Brace your core before the first rep and keep it braced.
• —Drive through the full range — do not cut the lockout short.
• —Control the lowering phase — that is where most of the growth stimulus lives.

Common mistakes

• —Using momentum instead of the target muscle.
• —Cutting the range of motion short to add load.
• —Adding weight before the movement pattern is clean.
