Build up your tendons and ligaments with high-volume band work. This will not only strengthen ligaments and tendons (to keep you from pulling a hammy), but they're also great for active recovery.
- Wrap a light band around a solid object and take a seat on a plyo box. You'll want to use a box that allows you to get full range of motion (not a solid wooden box for example.)
- Do these quickly and go for reps.
- Do 100 to 200 reps two or three times per week.
