[chasecurtiss]

@Albozfolife keep him in between your knees and if he runs you over make sure his shoulder hits you square in the chest (this should be a charge). Good luck!

[chasecurtiss]

@jheezy239 Thanks Justin! Go Miners!

[hossamg1493]

would you recommend the use of jumpsoles?

[chasecurtiss]

@hossamg1493 No, I dont think it is good to change your biomechanics with gimmick equipment. Lots of knee injury possibility!

[blackthunda27]

hey chase do the squats work for and and two foot jumping?

[chasecurtiss]

@blackthunda27 being better at single foot versus two foot jumping is more about body awareness and stability! Squats will help some with this, but dont over do it!

[chasecurtiss]

[rastainbabylon]

Hi Chase, great vid!

Now I've a wrist injure, so I'm working in the gym. Which type of gym exercise would you recommend me to increase my vertical?

Thanks!

[chasecurtiss]

@rastainbabylon There are a ton, but start with some flexibility exercises.  Easy enough to stretch with a bum arm!

[khatarnakinsaan]

how many reps and sets we have to do??

[chasecurtiss]

You should worry about the number. Focus more on making sure that they are good form. Your hip, knee and ankle should all be in the same plane.

do we need to add any weights when we r training?? thx chase

[chasecurtiss]

I dont believe in adding weight for the first 3 to 6 months especially in youth athletes. I never use weights with anyone under 16 at any point.
