How to do it

  1. You will need two boxes or benches spaced a few feet away from each other. Begin by standing on one box facing towards the other platform.
  2. To initiate the movement, gently drop down to the ground between your platforms, allowing the knees and hips to flex.
  3. Reverse the motion by exploding, extending through the hips, knees, and ankles to jump onto the other platform.
  4. Land softly, asborbing the impact through the legs.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Linear Depth Jump from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
