[Bacisniral773]

@Dragon

I totally agree with you dude! I gained 2''

in less than 4 weeks! this program gave me

wonderful result and its phenomenal! I

highly recommend this to very one who

wants to increase their vert. jump. But dude,

you must have mispelled the site name. Its:

JumpHigher. info

[Shinobiriz]

HOW CAN u even play basketball in dat kinda Place?? the lights are nearly same height as da backboard lol

[guitarchickena7x]

lol woulda been like 32 if you swung both arms.

[jeffrety1]

wait so dead lifts are bad?

[Lebron23KING23James]

damn i wish i could touch the rim that easy im 5'5 i got to jump 34.5 inches to touch the rim my standing vert is 31 running 35 its from squats and deadlifts and cleans

[MrPatchesOhoulihan]

Thanks kingfish. Also, one thing I've noticed from weight training, jump training, and stretching is that all the muscles in the P-Chain are connected. If my hamstrings are tight they are gonna pull on my lower back muscles. This is why stretching is so important.

[MrPatchesOhoulihan]

What is p-chain?

[kingfish405]

@MrPatchesOhoulihan

posterior chain. spinal erectors, glutes, hamstrings.. anything on the posterior (back) side of the legs.

[Stellarsniper]

I have touched the rim of a basketball hoop by jumping and I am only five foot six. Only problem is it is not consistant yet.

[aznkid0123]

Everyone is 'p-chain dominant' jumper. In fact, those muscles are the bulk of your power. Your vert is gonna suck, whether it'd be squats or deadlifts.

[kingfish405]

@aznkid0123

no. standing vertical jumps are quad dominant.

[dirkofyork]

@kingfish405

i second the notion! mustnt forget the quads!

[jasoncash2345]

@kingfish405 naw the midsection is vertical dominat trust me i kno

[Baconbits32]

Try swinging your arms more...

[onitsukatig3r]

Not bad, btw how tall are you?

have a look at my vertical jump if you want

[basketball559]

how long should you let ur body recover?

[kingfish405]

i skip 2-3 heavy workouts. maintenance lifting up to 75% 1RM only.

[skywarp88]

Swing your arms dude!

[Zaitsevsz]

hmm... since I started weight training this year I haven't increased my VJ a lot... I thought it was going to be a lot more. I had a 29 inch SVJ without any training and last time I tried I had 30inch(5'9'' touched the rim). This last month I've been training hard like at my 100% lifting nearly my max and I see I'm jumping higher. I haven't tested yet. So I realize If you train hard and explosively you'll get results.

[ncdc123]

sore...p-chain?

[zevahc87]

so your saying the squats and deadlifts to increase strength dont help for the VJ?

[hurleyboi8787]

It does, but not instantly. He's sore because he was lifting consistently and his body didn't recover yet. So I'd say he's jumping on reserve leg power, rather than maximum. After he rests completely, I think his vertical will be a lot higher than before he started.

[kingfish405]

NO

your vertical jump goes up as your squat numbers go up (while keeping bodyweight constant).

my standing jump gets lower after a period of heavy squats because of muscle soreness, which goes away after a deload

[hurleyboi8787]

Exactly, I know from experience, it usually takes two weeks for me to fully recover from squats and deadlifts. But the benefits after the rest period are enormous.

[zevahc87]

ok, cool. Key is recovery. I began strength training legs 2 weeks ago. This week i did 4x10 of 160lbs squats and some other excersizes. gonna be adding 10 lbs ea week. im 5'10" and weigh 160 lbs. Im supposed work up to squat 1.5 or 2x my weight right? im gonna add in some plyo and sprinting.

[kingfish405]

aim for at least 2x.

[hurleyboi8787]

Good goals man. I'd say at least twice your body weight, coupled with explosiveness from like power cleans and plyos. Everyone is different, but I would workout intensely for about a month or so, then rest for a couple weeks to see the improvement. No matter how hard you train, you won't get anywhere without resting. Breaking down the muscles during those intense workouts will need the rest to build them back up to be stronger.

[zevahc87]

i agree, recovery is very important. would you say increasing the weight 10 lbs ea week is irealistic?

[hurleyboi8787]

It is, but I'd think you should go with however your body recovers.

Check your messages bro, I sent you some information. It's too much to type here.

[littleton50]

I have about a 24 inch vertical jump and I am 13. Nice hops though.

[petasynthase]

i found the best way to measure a standing vertical leap is by using the top of your head as the measuring point. simply measure how tall you are and see how high your head can touch and measure the difference. this eliminates the reach of the arm that can add false inches to your leap.

[bethebestyouare]

ya bring your arms done and then push them up when you jump, works for me, i got a 33 inch vertical and im 6'0"

[hezzospike123]

u got hops man. no doubt. keep training

[kingfish405]

thanks

[kingfish405]

you need to find out what your standing reach is.

i have a 92" reach. the rim is 120". 120-92 = 28" needed for the tip of my finger to touch the rim.

[BADASSMENTALITY]

Hey Kingfish, you for sure have over a 30! No arm swing in that, being sore. Wait a week & film again. BTW, NICE GYM you lucky shit.

VERTMAN

[kingfish405]

lol. you haven't seen the keiser equipments yet :)

[BADASSMENTALITY]

Went to their site after you posted up the link to the power read out thingy. They make some great lookin' equipment!

[albtensai]

how old are you?

[atom123]

You could have gotten much higher if you actually decided to jump, you didn't even swing your arms. Be the first one to post a 30on TVS

[kingfish405]

lol.. but i can't really jump high with a very weakened back. also, i tested my pre-workout jump the same way. arm swing removed to focus on pure leg drive.
