Box Jump-Over
Jump onto the box, step or jump down the far side and turn; no need to stand tall on top – the CrossFit standard.
How to do it
Setup
Face a sturdy box a short step away, feet hip-width.
Steps
- Dip and swing the arms, jump onto the box.
- Step or jump down the far side without standing tall on top.
- Turn to face the box and go straight into the next rep.
Common mistakes
Standing tall on the box: the standard does not ask for it; pass straight over. Jumping down onto locked knees: land soft or step down. Losing the turn: face the box before every jump, or the rep is a side jump.
Breathing
Exhale on every jump; keep the rhythm.
