Box jumps onto bumper plates.

“just what the heck are you trying to accomplish by jumping like a cannonball? To land on top of a platform that is as high as your shoulders, you need to tuck your legs when you land. What’s the point? You are getting all the benefit from the powerful contraction of the leg and hip extensors as soon as you leave the floor - tucking in your legs does not contribute to the function of the exercise. My suggestion? Stop pretending you’re a human cannonball.”
