Workout Routines : Exercises to Help Increase Vertical Leap

by Workout Fiend on March 18, 2010



In order to increase vertical leap, a person must do exercises that allow them to generate more power from the hips, which will allow them to create more force when pushing against the floor. Do step-ups or a platform circuit to increase vertical leaping abilities with help from a fitness trainer in this free video on exercises and working out.

If you wanna increase your explosiveness, you are not even actually strong enough to do any type of explosive lifting. This isn’t explosive lifting. This is plyometrics which loses the point.
Basic training unification would be:

Increase your strength in raw squat which is also particularly measured via squat to body weight ratio.
Jumping or practicing jumping is up to you.
A 2.5 times own body weight squat ration gets you to 40 inch standing vertical and 45 inch running vertical.

@dzydave0021 yeah but i bet u put a lot of work in like myself… a lot of black ppl dont even lift or do any raises.. they just jump and BAM they dunk.. but like us we have to put 2 or 3x as much work just to get the same results.. im 6 1 barely touchin rim.. btw im asian

dzydave0021 March 18, 2010 at 1:08 pm

well there are exceptions on both sides…african americans tend to have greater percentages of type fast twitch muscle fibers- these fibers are responsible for explosion and take off- but that theory dosent hold tru in every situation… im 6′ white guy weight 225 and can dunk off one step consistently… then there are some black dude 6’2-6’3 that arent even close to dunking

dzydave0021 March 18, 2010 at 1:58 pm

3 days bro>>??? i have a degree in exercise science and that sounds next to impossible…training the type 2 muscle fibers takes time to develop and to see results.. ill check it out tho regardless

If you really want to increase your vertical and do no thave a big ass gym like this nigg then subsribe to my videos… I know secrets in increasing vertical leap and they are very easy and you get results in the next few days and sometimes even weeks. If you do not believe me check out this video i uploaded,,,, “How to Dunk a Basketball(#1 secret to increase vertical leap)” Type whats in the qoutes in the search bar… You will get immediate results in about 3 days with rest about 1-2 inches!!

yajstylez March 18, 2010 at 2:35 pm

his legs are soo puny…

all these trainers are telling you how to increase vertical but they can’t jump themselves or at least show how high they jump…

the only legit one is Alan Barch that I’ve seen so far.

@cldizon05 lol the tension in his voice!

chupacabravd March 18, 2010 at 3:51 pm

doesnt it remind you of something from rocket power

chupacabravd March 18, 2010 at 3:53 pm

this guy seems illiterate check out
“how to increase your vertical the basics”. it by a guy named destorm who was a former olympic trainer.

cldizon05 March 18, 2010 at 4:15 pm

lol he was out of breath

ballachamp10 March 18, 2010 at 4:33 pm

all im sayin is blacks have the upper hand in ability to jump. even my black friends can admit that i train way harder

jimthegr8 March 18, 2010 at 4:34 pm

that does not apply to all Blacks and Asians…
your work out routine must be changed if you are not advancing, that’s all.

yungbeany March 18, 2010 at 5:32 pm

how tall are u

rappboyloy March 18, 2010 at 6:16 pm

nice hair :D

ballachamp10 March 18, 2010 at 6:54 pm

@TheBallinHawk yeah of course thats just basic but even still i see very little gain… but i just ordered my nike hyperize and im doing a lot of pylometric excercises with my weight vest… hopefully it will work

TheBallinHawk March 18, 2010 at 7:06 pm

workin out daily is not good for u, u need a day or two break so you can give your muscles time to devolop to what your trying to do

ballachamp10 March 18, 2010 at 7:53 pm

well actually genetics do have a big role in your ability to jump higher or obtain muscle. Blacks are scientifically proven to have more fast twitch fibers in their legs. and asians (like myself) have slow twitch fibers. Believe me i play ball everyday and workout this routine daily but all i can get is the bottom of the rim.
