nice variations, impressive...question though: what is the purpose/what do you gain from the depth drop? just curious

[mwich40]

@lornepark50 deceleration, learning how to absorb impact, and strength actually. When you land like that from a depth jump, your bones absorb tremendous impact and they bend slightly. When a bone bends, it realizes it needs to get stronger, and it increases its bone density. This repeated increase in bone density means bigger, stronger bones. Stronger bones, stronger muscles and stronger connective tissue along with a strong mind leads to being a stronger athlete. "osteo blast"

This is actually very dangerous. An accident could entail you putting back by weeks

@screenflicker1 it is dangerous if you are not prepared, so is walking across the street. If you want to prepare for the rigors of extreme performance, than a little jumping is beneficial. I only presented a few options here, nothing more, nothing less. Good luck in your training

@mwich40 thanks. I have been weight training in the gym for about 3 years now. i'm 35. I do think that I need to do something other than what i have been routinely doing and now i'm thinking about incorporating something that is a milder version of what you show here. Thanks once again

[mwich40]

@screenflicker1 that is wise, this is a little more advanced plyometric training as I have been doing this a long time and preparing for an upcoming football season. If you are 35, are not preparing for intense contact, and are interested in general health and longevity only, then this type of training is not for you at all. Make the training suit the needs, goals and abilities of the individual.
