How to do a depth jump

Stand on a low box with your toes near the edge.
Step off the box, do not jump off.
Land on both feet with soft knees.
The instant you touch down, explode straight up as high as possible.
Land the second jump softly, reset on the box, and repeat.

Form tips

Minimize ground contact time, think of the floor as hot.
Start with a box of 30 to 45 centimeters, height comes later.
Keep the volume low, quality over quantity.
