PRx Soft-Sided Plyo Box

The PRx soft-sided plyo box saves your shins and joints. It's soft, safe and completely sturdy, so you never need to fear the box again.

Unlike other soft boxes, this one is weighted for stability with three sandbags inside the unit, which prevents tipping during your reps. As a result, it's easy on the shins and solid on the ground. Its three sides also give you three heights in one box.

Specs:

• Weight: 55 lb
• Dimensions: 20" x 24" x 30"
• Wooden box structure encased in solid foam
• Three sandbags inside the wood structure
• Non-slip vinyl cover with zipper

Why box jumps? Box jumps build explosive leg power and teach you to land softly. For lacrosse players, that explosiveness shows up in dodges, ground balls and first-step speed. Because this box is padded, a missed jump costs you a little pride, not a scraped shin.

How to start: first, choose the 20" side and practice soft landings. Next, step down rather than jump down to save your knees. Finally, move to the 24" or 30" side as your confidence and power improve.

The PRx soft-sided plyo box costs $224.99. Add a PRx weight vest when you're ready for more load. Stringers Lacrosse Shop ships every order from Chagrin Falls, Ohio.
