Brandon and Hudson, I wanna personally thank you for all you do. You guys have been a major inspiration and have really shown me just how much you don't need a gym membership. I started my journey of getting fit 3 months ago and your videos and tutorials have been a big part of it. Keep it up

It`s been 5 days since I have started following this vertical jump program however I was able to jump 4 to 5 inches higher. I really believe on this program hands down. Of all the programs I`ve attempted before, this one is the greatest. I found this jump guidebook by Google. It is over here t.co/aX2oR1o9FS

Looking at the assembled box and the board measurements, it looks like your finished box dimensions are 20”x25.5”x30” as opposed to 20”x24”x30”. The 20”x24” should be a 20”x22.5” since it sits between two ends which add 1.5”. And the 24”x28.5” should be 22.5”x28.5” for the same reason the 28.5” was cut short for the 30” side.

@jubalwhitlock8850 4 жыл бұрын

This is absolutely correct. Didn’t realize either. Shit.

@edwinmarquinezdeleon8648 4 жыл бұрын

The same apply for the frame. The one that is 25.5” should be 24.5” since the frame is 2”x2” which subtract 4” from the side of 28.5” on the board of 24”x28.5”

@samrounds469 3 жыл бұрын

Why do they suggest using 15 5/8" framing in the interior of the box? Won't that lead to 15 5/8 + 2(1.5" thickness of the 2x2) + 2(3/4" plywood) = 20 1/8" as the smallest height of the box? Should I expect some compression in the 2x2's?

Keep on doing what you do, i'll enjoy the ride

Looks good! The only thing I would change is the handles, I made mine by drilling 1 1/2” holes and using a saber saw to cut the middle out. I also did it before I put it together so that I could use a router with a 1/4” roundover bit on the inside and the outside to make it more comfortable to hold and carry.

would be better if it was made to also be a storage box. wouldn't be all that hard to have one side have a compartment door. (of course you would not use that side to jump on). That big box and all that wasted space inside. I wish I had first thought of sanding the edges of the plyo box that I got for free. I skinned by shins up badly. Just one small slip is all it takes.

2023 (dec)..... COST: was redoing a subfloor. the sheets of 3/4" plywood are now like $55-70 alone. not to mention the inner structure, screws, etc. just FYI for anybody wondering. (a lot of their great builds are now more costly than buying, especially wood. sucks. i wanted to do more of these but now materials has skyrocketed. post pandemic fun i guess...... >:/ )
