Best Plyometric Boxes For Building Explosive Power

Reach new heights in your training with a plyometric box.

 
 

Plyometrics are an incredibly potent training modality, useful for improving your explosiveness, but also potentially helpful for developing longevity in training. One of the most common tools to use when working on plyometric training is — as the name suggests — a plyometric box, which can be used for jumping onto or over as a way to develop power and agility. Plyometric boxes help users build strength through exercises like box jumps, burpee box jump-overs, elevated plyometric push ups and a lot more. 
 
The best plyometric boxes come in all shapes, sizes, and materials, and each one has their place and purpose. The key is to know which option works best for you. In this list, you’ll find a comprehensive selection of plyo boxes for different types of training preferences. Read and use this list to guide you toward the perfect box. Then hop off (pun intended) the laptop and dive into your training session. 
 
But if you’re at the peak of your fitness game, and already consider yourself familiar with plyometric platforms, then a career in exercise could be calling.
 
Let’s explore some of the best options for plyo boxes, as well as what you should be looking for in an ideal plyometric platform.

How To Choose The Right Plyometric Box
Now that we’ve explored the best options for box jump equipment (UK) and plyometric platforms, it’s important to work out exactly what’s right for you, taking into account your fitness levels, your goals, and how much experience you have with plyo exercises.
 
With the choices we’ve looked at, there’s options available at a range of different heights, as well as adjustable plyo boxes if you’re a little unsure, or want to set yourself up for future progression.
 
However, in terms of more specific advice, we would always recommend opting for one that offers several different heights (such as a 3-in-1 plyo box), as this not only allows you to gauge your current levels, but it’ll also give you a goal to aim for, especially if you choose a plyo box that goes up in significant but manageable increments (e.g. a 20-24-30 plyo box).
 
Or alternatively, you could opt for one of the plyometric box sets that we’ve just explored, as these will often provide a much smaller lateral plyo box that can provide you with a baseline of how to get started.
 
Ultimately, though, it’s about understanding your body and your fitness levels - with plyometric boxes, it can be easy to get discouraged or demotivated, especially if you purchase a plyo box that’s simply too high, or that you feel is unattainable.
 
Start small, and build yourself up incrementally, as this will not only help with your confidence, but it’ll also mean you’re building muscle at every stage of your fitness journey.
