@TheGutiargod Make sure you are FOAM ROLLING! and really focus on getting warmed up with a good stretch! Have you checked out our vertical jump handbook?

hey chase just wondering should i do squats everyday or everyother day ? O and good tips.

[chasecurtiss]

@gangstar1011 You want to give your muscles a chance to rest and recover so at least one day is good. Check out our shotscience main page for the full vertical leap series!

Hey, I am 5'6'' and 15 years old. Do you think I'll grow to 6'0''? I play basketball everyday, I lower my hoop to 8'8'' and practice dunking. I will try the Vertical Leap Program

Your video is missing lying foot raises and videos are not in the same order as your pdf sheet. Can you please help? Thanks for your time and response.

Hey Chase, first off, your vids are great! One question, im about 5ft 9" without shoes, give a couple inches with shoes, i have been doing diferent excersises to improve my vert. (squats, calf raises ect.) I can get about 2-4 inches above the rim, but still cannot dunk. I am able to palm the ball tho, any tips on how to get my last few inches? Thanks!

There's a psychological side to jumping too. My brother and I tend to tense up when we jump, and I imagine a lot of other players might too. Instead of thinking about jumping really high or jumping at all, think about flying. I've found I jump half an inch higher; not much, but it could make a difference. My brother said if you relax right, you naturally exhale a little bit.
