Title: Depth Jumps
Post by: D4 on May 12, 2012, 06:23:34 am

In the grassy area at my school rec center where I do my plyo workout, there's only a bench I can do depth jumps on.  It's only like 15~18"...  There's nothing higher there.

I was thinking, when this bench gets too easy, can I do something like where I kind of jump off the bench like 6", mimicking a 21~24" depth jump?  Or is there something else going on that it changes the dynamics and it's not really a depth jump?

it would work as a 24" depth jump. havn't tried it, maybe it messes with your concentration on the landing...

tho it would be hard to know if you're getting 6" every single time. stack some textbooks on that bench instead.
