Drop jumps with a horizontal rebound are 1 of the best bodyweight movements for building vertical jumping speed & power. However, they're also intense & impactful. Before trying, you should have competent squatting/landing skill, and already have a good level of lower body strength and mobility. Be cautious and detail-oriented when you do this movement because every little injury, imbalance, or error is amplified due to landing/rebounding forces that increase linearly with drop heights. Rather than gently/quietly absorbing the drop from an obstacle, your goal is to rebound quickly into a powerful jump. The purpose is to hone your reactive ability — your ability to transfer a compressive force (landing) into an explosive force (jumping). Unlike the depth jump for distance which prioritizes max distance and therefore, longer ground contact times, the main goal of a drop jump is to get off the ground quicker.

Drop jumps with a horizontal rebound are 1 of the best bodyweight movements for building vertical jumping speed & power. However, they're also intense & impactful.

Be cautious and detail-oriented when you do this movement because every little injury, imbalance, or error is amplified due to landing/rebounding forces that increase linearly with drop heights. Rather than gently/quietly absorbing the drop from an obstacle, your goal is to rebound quickly into a powerful jump. The purpose is to hone your reactive ability — your ability to transfer a compressive force (landing) into an explosive force (jumping). Unlike the depth jump for distance which prioritizes max distance and therefore, longer ground contact times, the main goal of a drop jump is to get off the ground quicker. This means drop jumps will have shorter ground contact times and less distance than depth jumps. For drop jumps, stand on top of a low obstacle, stepping off by leading with one foot. It's important not to squat down before dropping. This ensures that you can measure your box height and progressively overload with taller boxes over time. After you step off the box, land on two feet, and then quickly spring into the air.
