Keith what's up boy. Its your Boy Gary the Linebacker from delaware played with u @ FAMU. I see u still on it. Keep up the hard work man. Hit sometime @ famu44@hotmail.com
I think the Box jump is a great exercise for the body overall. great full body coordination and sense of surrounds (landing_ would be one hell of a way evade a tackle.
@JimBean0587 1st- get off joe's nuts. i never said Defranco isn't a good coach. he definitely knows his shit.
2nd -squatting and benching have far more carryover to sports than jumping onto a box ever will.
3rd - box jumping doesn't let you extend as well as a regular jump because the athlete has to worry about tucking his legs enough for the landing onto the box.
and I'm not saying it doesn't train vertical leap... I'm saying vertec jumps are what really matter.
@steventar well obviously you haven't either. DeFranco has been training NFL draftees for years now and I think he knows what he is doing far better than you do.
and you must be an idiot to think that just because you don't jump onto boxes in sports that it isn't relevant. Do you ever do squats in sports with 100kg on your back? Do you ever lie on a bench and press a bar up in sports? Seriously. Besides YOU ARE STILL JUMPING VERTICALLY, and therefore, you are still training vertical leap.

@steventar I personally hold box jumps as a huge factor to my speed gains!

Defranco uses box jumps because they BUILD EXPLOSIVENESS REALLY WELL. Can't we leave it at that?
