higher vertical

what is some good exercises you can do that would help you jump higher at home?

squats, lounges i kno are a few, buy some leg weights, i heard those help too

barbell squat

after u go down

EXPLODE up real fast. Those work the quads and glutes, which are some of the most important muscles

calf raises, pretty much self explanatory

Leg press, pretty much self explanator

walking dumbell lunges, pretty much self explanatory.


^ive been doin the above for about 3 weeks now, and ive gained 7" on my vert.

Train the posterior chain...the most underlooked aspect of vertical jumping

leg weights are bad. if youre talking about ankle weights, they will mess up your knees in the long run buddy

Just what Kosterzoo said, posterior chain is the most important and most neglected part of jumping. Exercises like snatches, cleans, deadlifts are very good.

yes cleans help with your explosion. cleans are one of the most useful exercise if not the most useful.

got a tutorial on that?

this seems like a pretty decent vid on the snatch.

dosent work for me...jus 2 black boxes...??
