DIY Box Construction - Snatches, Jerks, Plyos...


Here are plans to make a pair of great looking adjustable-height boxes. The author built these specifically as a jerk box, but it looks like they could be used for a variety of activities: snatch high pulls, plyo boxes, box squats. If you follow these instructions with 2x lumber you will end up with a heavy duty box with a nice clean look. The finished product will be heavy, so you may want to devise some sort of base that is on casters for easy movement and storage when not in use. Just be sure to remove the base with the casters before use. It will be a pain in the ass but worth it in the end.

Here is a vid from Mike's gym showing one use for the boxes: Jerk Practice
