Tip Gradually increasing the height of the box by 1 or 2 inches at a time can help you to progress toward your goal of increasing your vertical jump by 6 to 14 inches.
Move 2: Depth Jump. Begin standing on a short box or step. The moment your feet make contact with the ground, explode upward. Tip Perform a dynamic warm-up — consisting of jogging, jumping rope, knee lifts and single-leg hops — for 5 to 10 minutes before training.
Move 1: Back Squat. Duck under the bar and position yourself so that it rests high on the back of your shoulders. Make sure the bar rests on the meaty party of your shoulders, not on your neck, and grasp it on either side for stability. Stand up beneath the bar to take its weight on your legs.
Adjust your position, if necessary, so that you're stable and balanced. Bend your knees as you move your hips back and down as if you were sitting in a chair behind you. Your torso will tilt forward from your hips, but keep your back straight. Lower until your thighs are parallel with the ground or as low as you can comfortably squat while maintaining good form. Press through your feet to reverse the motion and return to standing.
Move 2: Barbell Deadlift. Fix the weight plates on your barbell and position it on the floor in front of you. If needed, position it on an elevated platform to allow for a reduced range of motion. Step up to the bar, shins almost against it, feet planted firmly hip-width apart. Keep your spine straight, chest up and shoulders back and down. Hinge from the hips, softening your knees as your hips sink low enough so you can grasp the bar with your hands shoulder-width apart. Check your posture: Your spine should be straight and long, chest up and open and shoulders back.
Engage all the muscles of your core to maintain this position as you push your feet into the floor. Imagine that you are trying to push the floor away from you, and stand up. Finish the motion by lifting your chest and engaging your lats to stabilize the bar in front of your hips.
Return the bar by reversing the motion, pushing your weight back into your hips and softening your knees, letting the bar travel in a controlled path back down to the floor along your body. Move 3: Barbell Hip Thrust. Sit on the ground with the bottom of your shoulder blades on the edge of an exercise bench or box. Extend your legs out in front of you and roll a barbell up over your hips, placing a cushion underneath the bar for comfort if needed.
Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the ground. Keeping your neck long, press into your heels and raise your hips off the ground, lifting the barbell up. As you bridge up, your neck and shoulders should move onto the bench. Another athlete was a quick fix. A good athlete and a better hurdler came in for an assessment. We found that his ankle rocker was off. And he jumped with his back and used very little legs. Since then, he has hit Both athletes and many more lack the ability to jump with their legs.
As mentioned in my Ankle Rocker article, if an athlete cannot bend at the ankle, their body needs to rotate around the hips to gain velocity to throw the body vertically.
And now the lift comes from the arm throw and the straightening of the spine. Legs just finish the movement. There is no drive. It is all throw. To get the drive from the legs, the ankles need to bend forward to create space for the hips to drop. So, the drive becomes vertical and from the hips, thighs and calves. To develop this, I created a circuit that we warm up with every workout.
Some of the results have been incredible. I had two athletes put 5 inches on their vertical in weeks. After the athletes have the basic ankle rocker down and single leg squats, we move into the following workout.
The first exercise is what we call an ankle rocker pop. The athlete stands on the jump pad and goes into an ankle rocker position. Keeping the torso vertical, allow the ankles to bend forward, hold for a count and jump from that position.
We want to make sure hands stay on hips, so we get a true reading on the just jump pad. We will do repitions. More if the numbers continue to go up. Once in this position, with their hands on their hips, they will jump up. Once again, we measure the height. It is usually higher. On the third set, we will do the movement in a counter jump fashion. The movement should be short and quick.
You can also drill this movement by pulling down hard, holding for a count, and extending up quickly, never leaving the ground. The second exercise is a stair climb. Select basic ads. Create a personalised ads profile.

Is there a secret to improve your vertical jump? You may want to dunk like the pros or you may want to improve your jumping abilities for sports like tennis, volleyball , or track events such as the high jump.
According to Miami Heat Strength and Conditioning Coach Bill Foran, "Jumping is a very explosive movement that can, believe it or not, be improved with proper training. To get your best vertical jump, it is necessary to do both strength and power training. Strength exercises include slow, controlled movements like squats, lunges, and weighted step-ups.
Power exercises require explosive, quick moves like those needed for plyometrics and power cleans. Plyometrics are explosive bounding, hopping and jumping drills that blend strength and speed. Finally, practicing maximum vertical jump will increase vertical jump. There are many ways to improve vertical jump, but some of the most effective exercises include plyometrics, along with exercises that build both strength and power.
You can build strength by performing basic weight training exercise using slow, controlled movements, and build power with faster dynamic movements.
You also you need to improve the speed of movement in order to create power. This is done with explosive, quick exercises. For most players, it's the difference between finishing over defenders with strength or getting swatted into the bleachers Or a season where teammates, coaches and opponents turn their heads in disbelief wondering where and when you got those hops.
Who doesn't want to jump higher, play above the rim, and overwhelm opponents with their strength, speed and athleticism? But in the race for a inch vertical, getting faster, and getting stronger Many players don't realize their core is crucial to their vertical and explosiveness and agility. Many others like poor mobility and force production are regularly overlooked by players, coaches and trainers By following the powerful " Pyramid of Development " training approach and the step by step process we're about to share with you.
And it's highly unlikely you'll double your vertical jump with those programs in the next 12 weeks. Even worse, many of these programs ignore key movement skills you need to actually dominate on the court So as tempting as they may sound, instead of using the "jump" programs, you should use the same approach top D-I schools like University of Kansas use to turn their players into dominant athletes.
I'll share more details about that in a moment. But first let's get to the first step to improve your vertical jump the right way The first thing you should do is "measure" your vertical. This gives you a baseline so you can monitor your improvements, understand what actually works and provide motivation to continue improving. If you do not have equipment, check out this detailed article How to Measure Your Vertical Jump that shows you how to measure both with or without equipment.
Once you complete the test, write down the results.
