3 to 5 sets of 3 to 5 jumps on a modest box, fully resetting between reps, done while fresh rather than at the end of a session.
Missed jumps rake shins down the box edge, and most accidents come from chasing height or jumping tired; pick a box you clear with room to spare and keep it there. Step down every rep, since repeated rebound landings off the box are exactly what this version is designed to avoid.
