I use box jumps all the time. (Not really). I do use them once in a while. Why? HIP FLEXORS. I'm a hurdler, vert isn't too important in the event because your center of mass is supposed to stay at nearly the same height throughout the event. But, I would never bother trying for crazy high box jumps. I get enough hip flexor work from tuck jumps and the occasional set of ~36 in. box jumps. Aside from that, I really see no benefit in it. Even then, how many events or sports actually require that kind of hip strength? Hurdles are the only thing I've ever done that have actually required it.

Andrew,

I saw this guy at the gym today who stacked the plyo boxes on top of one another.  He stacked them so high that he could barely make the box jump.  It immediately made me think of this thread.  I was hoping that he wiped out and he almost did...

Anyway, I have to start bringing my video camera to the gym so I can capture moments like these.

hahaha

as much as of a retard i think that kid is, wouldn't wish a wipeout on him.. with that being said, capturing the wipeout on film would make for many lolz in this thread ;)

people are crazy, max box jumps with insane hip flexion FTL (for the loss).

I think they have their uses, but they are very much absued in general.

Having people almost do the splits to be able to land on the box and making that some kind of athletic ability measurement is stupid IMO. It's like the people at the gym who tell you "ya bro, I can squat 6 plates bro" then proceed to do less than a quarter squat.

For some fun though, 45" box jump with a 60lbs weighted vest.

I actually know his brother (thru Facebook - Ryan Englebert ETS Gym) he has a lot of similar vids on his Youtube, (crazy high box jumps) apparently they get good results with their athletes (HS getting ready for college and College prepping for pro days/combine) from the times I've talked with them they're pretty smart, pretty basic Westside style routines that are used (I have Ryan's program from a while back).  His brother wanted to 1) use me as a testimonial when I got results using his program, but then of course I busted my ankle (see quitters/graveyard thread), and 2) he wanted me to help him put a golf specific program together (a while back).
