Vertical jump exercises?

[wargreymon54321]

Where can I find vertical training exercises that are reliable and helpful?

Am I supposed to do squat exercises and heel raises to improve strength of calf and quad? Then, would I need to improve flexibility and jumping exercises to improve vertical? Am i right? Anyone that trained this could give me some help? Thanks!!

Please someone help this cause I really need this too, with my knee being weak because of injuries I need some workouts too

Play basketball everyday and just do some jumping every day.
I Wouldn't recommend stuff like AA3 cause it might even lower your jumping ability.

Go and slap your mothers for not conceiving you with a black man.

if your knee is already weakened plyometrics is a bad idea. should probably just play and adjust your game til that knee is back to healthy

As if this guy knows anything about legs!

Someone should let me know when I'm pushing it. It's just too obvious.

I'm on week 6 and i see progress

I did 8 weeks of AA2 and saw no results.

Exactly AA is shit.

everyone's body is at a different point and everyone's body responds to different training. From what I've seen of Air Alert its a poorly planned plyometrics program that risks injury in HOPE of giving you more leap.

Just jump alot and you will get there. Nothing improves natural jumping ability then actual jumping.

Maybe I'll just wear weights for a couple of weeks

Weight lifting actually helps a lot. I completed Joe DeFranco's 6 weeks vertical jump training program and I gained about 4-5 inches on my vertical.

wearing weights fucks with your joints if you do it wrong. if you're gonna wear weights do your research.

How did you get all these equipmentsÉ

[Modifly]

You'll need access to a good gym with good equipments. Fortunately I have a sports complex right in front of my village.

Vertical Jump Bible or The Jump Manual.

[adv1s5]

Agreed on Jump Manual. Know a guy who's been on the manual for like a year and says he's gotten 12", which is crazy, because he had like a 36 to begin with. He's trying to get to 50" now.

If you don't want to get on any programs, train for explosiveness. Work on quads, hams, calves, and abs, do sprints, make sure your joints are okay, etc.

I wouldn't use leg weights if you intended on walking with them all day and not doing leg presses with them or something.
