Hey Chase, thank you for those videos they are really helpfull!

I was wondering if you can talk about how to increase the vertical jump for a GIRL ?

[chasecurtiss]

@TheMeryama03 Sorry for the delayed response! The vertical jump handbook is not structured for males or females! As a female, I would focus on really making sure you get your hip stabilization exercises in (like leg circles and single leg squats) in order to limit injury potential on the knees.

Hello chasecurtiss

Hey you're videos are awesome, i always had i dream to jump very high :)... to get better vertical leap, its awesome to dunk.. is it true if i put something heavy on my ankles and practice jumping or plyometrics exercises i will get better vertical jump?

[chasecurtiss]

@FuNkY33333 Not necessarily. Using ankle weights for specific exercises can be beneficial, but it will change your movement mechanics if you use them for long periods or in complex movements. I do not recommend playing in them, because of the injury risk, but they can be used for certain exercises.
