Vertical Jump Exercises - Are You Training Your Vertical the Wrong Way?


Vertical Jump Exercises Should Focus On Explosion

The reason that I'm writing this article is that I just spoke with a friend, a great basketball player, the guy's six foot ten just looking to do something to increase his vertical because he'll really be unstoppable at that size if he's got a nice vertical jump. He bought one of the very well-known vertical jump programs out there-I'm not going to name any names, because I think a lot of the programs do a lot of things right, and I'm not here to make any enemies. But I did notice that in the jump program, it asked him to do a crazy number of repetitions.

When you train, if you're not training your explosion, what you're training is your muscles to be more developed for endurance training. So, if you're doing a program right now, I would just recommend that you take your intensity level way up; and you take the number of repetitions way, way down. Because here's what happens: anytime you pace yourself during an exercise where you're trying to train yourself for maximum explosion or maximum muscle contraction, you're going to short-circuit yourself. It's not going to work out right.

How Should I Be Doing My Vertical Jump Exercises Then?

I had a friend and he was wanting to do some vertical jump exercises, and I recommended to him one exercise that's all about explosion; and he just does this one exercise every night before he goes to bed. And he's noticed a fairly significant increase doing one exercise.

Now I've done this particular program with a ton of repetitions-in fact, the program that I just received from my friend, I did a while back. And I noticed some results with it. But I didn't notice the results that I want. Just remember: if any of the drills or exercises are asking you to do really anything over fifteen reps, anything where you're pacing yourself, you're jeopardizing your training-then you might be gearing your training more towards endurance training and not towards explosion.
