Perfect Box Jump Technique
The box jump is a powerful plyometric exercise that develops explosive lower body strength, improves vertical jump ability, and enhances athletic performance. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds maximum results with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide

- Load: Sit back into quarter squat, arms behind body
