Box Drop 2 Foot Land
Step off a low box and land on both feet in a half squat, then hold it; a drill that trains the landing and nothing else.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on the edge of a low box, feet hip-width, arms at the sides.
Steps
- Step forward off the box without hopping.
- Land on both feet at once, hips back, knees over the toes, arms reaching forward.
- Freeze in the landing, then stand and step back up.
Common mistakes
Landing one foot before the other: both feet touch together. Knees caving in the catch: track them over the toes. Landing stiff and loud: soften through the ankles, knees and hips at once.
Breathing
Inhale stepping off, exhale as you stand.
