How to Jump Higher! Vertical Leap Secrets From the World’s Best Strength Coaches - Part 1

webmaster — Mon, 17 Mar 2008 19:26:58 +0000

For years I’ve used stair training to maximize my power which lead me to using them with the hundreds of athletes I’ve trained including players from Major League Baseball and the Women’s National Basketball Association. And because of my work with professional athletes and my love for basketball I get many questions from people all over the world on vertical jump training. And since I don’t know it all (far from it) I know it’s in my best interest to learn from other strength coaches, personal trainers, physical therapists, nutritionists, doctors and so on. And I’m actually pretty lucky as I can pick up the phone or email many of the best trainers in the world and pick their brain on performance enhancement.

Training Exercises to Increase Your Vertical Jump and Slam Dunk

webmaster — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 16:02:45 +0000

In this article I am going to cover exercises to increase your vertical jump and slam dunk. There are two main categories of training that you should incorporate into your routine. The first is plyometric exercises, which train your body to increase its muscular power. Muscular power is what drives your body when it explodes and jumps up. The second is strength training exercises, which trains your body to increase its overall strength. Strength can be looked at as the amount of horsepower your body has. The stronger your muscles are, the more force they can exert and the higher up you can jump. Plyometrics and strength training have different styles of training but when used together in a single program, they can be very effective in increasing your vertical jump to slam dunk.

If You Got What It Takes, Do It

Ok, so your vertical is up to par. You’ve got the big calves and the girls are going crazy. Now onto the next problem. Most basketball players have great coordination…But I see some uncoordinated ass dudes out on the courts who are fast and can jump higher than all the other players. They just seem to be incapable of doing the simple lead up to the dunk.

Using Strength Shoes to Target Muscles

webmaster — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 01:33:02 +0000

Like I said before, to gain valuable inches on your vertical it is essential to target your calves. Obviously, calf raises are great for this as well as jumping rope. But the Strength Shoes truly force you to target your calves whenever you have them on. This is perfect for me because I hate to do all of my sets at the gym. My main purpose in writing this blog is to sing the praises of the Strength Shoes because they seem to be an underused resource in the basketball community. Many people have heard of the Strength Shoes but it does not seem like many people have seen the value in them and decided to buy them. So, this is how to dunk. And this is how to get there faster with the Strength Shoes.

Jump Higher Tip #10

webmaster — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 14:47:53 +0000

Tip #10: Strengthen the toe muscles. Flexor Hallucis Longus are the small muscles that start in the lower leg & come down to the big toe. Work this for an added inch by trying to curl in/or crunch the toes. Another drill is to push up onto the tip toes and hold that for at least 10 seconds. After as little as 6 weeks with this you can easily add an inch to the top!
Remember it is important to separate your speed/plyometric training days from your strength training. This is a fatal flaw many programs are selling you that will rob you of much deserved results!Check with our site periodically to see what’s new since I am always conducting new experiments as well as doing new research on this and many related topics!
