Bazza: Completely agree with your 2nd paragraph, thats why i tried to frame the original question that way. How many of these do you normally?
Taurus: Nice homemade boxes mate. How many do you normally do?

A tip for anyone who is not at a child like weight. Don't just go out and do depth jumps. You would probably be better off if you never did them at all.

why not?
I got warned to manage the amount of "contacts" I do when I do them, so to be very careful with the volume.
I don't weigh very much (73kg), but I admit to a level of concern reading this thread.
I play bball so can get a fair bit of jumping volume in anyway, but this is why I've done boxjumps in the past, trying to improve on that. May need to find another way?
Agree 100%. Thanks to the Fitness First generation of PT's every bloke and his dog knows about plyo's.
The amount of eccentric muscle damage caused by them after even a mild session is ridiculous. So bigger guys get the worst of it because the weight absorbed is proportional to the damage (F=m*a). True plyo's are rarely used by any coach worth his salt.
Same thing with downhill running, which I know a few local footy teams did as a main part of their pre season when I was finishing high school around '06. Everybody ended up sore as phuck and they took it for a good thing. 1 of the 4 teams was relegated after a disasterous start to the season, and another finished bottom half. Both attributed it to the downhill runs after the season but all the damage was done already.
Yep, this is why i asked as well but didnt want to say. Im looking to return to competitive basketball in 2013 and want to improve my leap. I already do powercleans and frontsquats.
With the amount of reps quoted by most responders as well as heeding some of bazzas advice, i think injury risk can be mitigated which is a priority.
There are better ways to get the same training effect as plyo without doing plyo
Ha downhill running.
Western reds (now defunct NRL side) loved them for pre-season. Was around 96/97 too. Must've been a fad at the time...
