    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.

    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”

    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?

    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.

Total time to complete, at an insanely leisured pace = 2 hours. If you buy one yer gonna have to assemble it anyway, so this is definitely the way to go.

    I paid $16 for a sheet of plywood, 2x2's were $2 a board. I think I only needed two of them. Box of screws goes for about $8 give or take. I did not use spray paint and stencils for numbers, and already had orbital sander pads on hand. Bought some the other day, though, $7. Assuming you've got the tools you need, it's not a costly project.

    Correct. I had some 2x4’s lying around so I just ripped them in half.

    I need some advice. I've been doing strength training for awhile now, but my new step mother thinks it's useless bad for your health as you get older. She tells me that the muscle I'm building will turn to flab when I hit my 50s & 60s. Before I met my step mother I never met anyone who thinks body building was both useless and unhealthy so I had no idea what to say. What can I say to her to convince her it's not useless and won't cause me to have health problems later in life?

    Nice video, but... camera is showing more of him at crucial moments when he is describing something instead of pointing down at the piece he is working on.
