The 3 most popular exercises for the SBJ are: double-hops-over-cones, star jumps ("jump as high as possible from squatting position") & tuck jumps ("jump to knee-touch chest as high as possible"). You need to do these regularly, in circuit sets of 12.

Here's what MINDEF itself recommends to improve at all the IPPT stations:

if you oli fail by abit, here's my tip. 1 swing and jump. serious.. in the past i always stand there swing and swing 4-5 times then jump and in the end fail all the time... just by a little. then one day a WO come to me and say dont swing too much. i listened and tried that for my 2nd jump .. wootz! 223 i think... try it and see.. just step up, look in front, deep breathe, swing ur arms back bending ur knees at the same time and without 2nd thoughts GO!!!

hope it helps Smile

Aim far far. Don’t aim at the place you want to reach.

They work the thighs & calves (ditto duck walks), but personally I'm not a believer that they'll help for SBJ.

The idea, instead, is to condition more the fast-muscle muscle fibers for that spring in your step. The exercises I mentioned train for that stop-start "explosion".

Drink more milk.. so can grow taller.. longer legs.. very easy can get 243cm... Mr. Green

hehehehe.. jus joking... i think SBJ is the hardest to train.. some of the ppl jus can't get more than 225cm.. but the rest of the stations.. they can get 5pts... kekekekek... in the end wasted !
