Yes You Can Jump Higher




ANYONE can improve their vertical leap and learn how to jump higher!

The key to increasing you vertical jump is learning how your body type affects this. Age, sex, race e.t.c., do not play as important a role. You need to assess your own individual response to training, as this varies from person to person. Just assigning you a list of exercises simply doesn't cut it if you want to really jump higher...you NEED a cycle based on exercises for your given body type, concentrated on your weaknesses. These exercises should cycle from Strength to Explosiveness to Plyometrics.

Basic Steps To Get Started

1. Assess your existing strength and your level of experience with earlier methods of working out. The most effective way to get gains is to build a totally new strength foundation. Then start performing an explosion phase. This will result in even more inches.

2. Perform Lifts. Complete body strength is the key for such an athlete and there is no better exercise than the full back squat. This provides progressive increases on spinal loading, which , in turn, stabilizes you under tension, and also increases stretch-response of both hamstrings and hip muscles.

3. The squat should be the main exercise of your lower body workouts. 6-8 decent lifts gets the best strength improvements and vertical carryover. On the days of your upper body workouts, the philosophy is the same, with the core exercises being bench press, overhead press variations, pull-ups and dips. Remember the overlooked muscles towards the end of your workout - muscles such as hip flexors, the shins , transverse abdominals e.t.c.

4. Make sure to use a lifting technique in a secure and efficient style. Undergo 3-5 week strength cycles for both lower and upper body. Done properly, you ought to see gains of 5% each week. Following this, you will start to envision how your jump is bound to increase.

5. Properly utilize explosive and plyometric training as well as your strength training. These are your "field workouts" and are finished prior to your weight exercises. E.g., on Day 1 you begin by using a series of tempo runs, sprints and low-intensity plyometrics (after the proper warm-up of course). By the time Phase 3 comes around, this will have slowly lessened to shorter tempo runs, overspeed (downhill) sprints and high-intensity plyometrics.

6. Emphasis on the heavier weights will decrease as you move forward through the phases.

7. Visualize by closing your eyes, imagining yourself exploding upwards. Picture yourself with large leg muscles that are tightened like springs, ready to propel you higher. Say to yourself "I feel myself getting more strong and much lighter." Then jump once more. You should observe a noticeable |increase in your vertical jump. (Sports psychologists have long documented the usefulness of "mental practice" in improving athletic performance.)
