- Blocking drill - find a wall/tree - do a block jump as high as you can - mark this with a pencil, piece of chalk or piece of tape. Measure 4 inches (10 cm) below your original jump height and make another mark. See how many block jumps you can do in a row where you can touch between your two marks. Take a break. Try again.... take a break.... and again. See video.
