The Plyo Box from GORNATION enhances explosive power in your workouts and serves as an ideal tool for calisthenics enthusiasts and fitness aficionados looking to enhance their strength and agility. Makeshift solutions like chairs or unstable platforms can be risky and hinder your progress. On the contrary, a sturdy wooden box opens up a whole new realm of exercises: jumps, step-ups, split squats, core work, and even dips – all done safely and effectively. To ensure immediate use of your Plyo Box, we have put together a detailed step-by-step assembly guide for your convenience.
What you need for assembly
Before you begin, gather all the components. Each GORNATION Plyo Box includes the bottom plate, top plate, two side panels, front and back panels, as well as the stabilizing inner struts. You will also find all the necessary screws to get started promptly.
For seamless assembly, you will only need a few tools: a Phillips screwdriver or, preferably, a cordless drill with the appropriate bit. It is advisable to set up on a clean, level surface to ensure proper alignment. Having all the tools within reach saves time and prevents interruptions during the assembly process.
Step-by-step assembly guide
Step 1 – Build the inner struts
The initial step for stability involves the inner struts. These components provide the necessary strength for your Plyo Box to remain sturdy even during intense jumps. Carefully screw the parts together and verify that everything aligns properly. Avoid over-tightening the screws. Once complete, set the struts aside for later use.
Step 2 – Connect the bottom plate with the side panels
Now, it’s time to shape the structure. Position the bottom plate and secure it to the two side panels. Ensure everything is flush and aligned at right angles. Only lightly tighten the screws at this stage to ensure a perfect fit during final assembly.
Step 3 – Mount the front and back panel
Proceed with attaching the front and back panels, which give the box its enclosed shape. Align them meticulously, ensure clean corner fits, and then fasten them with screws. The basic frame of your Plyo Box is now complete.
Step 4 – Insert struts & attach the top plate
Before closing the box, insert the inner struts to ensure stability under heavy loads without distortion. Position them centrally and slide them in evenly.
Subsequently, add the top plate by placing it precisely on top, confirming flush edges, and securely screwing it down for a firm and level placement.
Step 5 – Safety check
Before commencing your training, always perform a safety check. Position your Plyo Box on a stable, non-slip surface and assess its stability with simple movements first. Step-ups or light leaning on it are ideal to confirm its steadiness. If everything feels secure, proceed to jumps or dips. This precaution ensures safe training sessions.
