Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Depth Jump.
An advanced plyometric drill where you step off a box, absorb the landing, and immediately jump as high as possible to develop explosive lower-body power and reactive strength. The brief ground-contact time trains the stretch-shortening cycle of the legs.
The Depth Jump is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
