How to Increase Your Vertical Jump

Some of the things I like to do to increase my vertical. If you do these things 2-3 times a week and stretch you will be jumping higher in no time.

1 step dunks 3 sets of 8

drop step dunks 3 sets of 6

jump rope 4 sets of 1-2 min (1 leg and 2 leg variations)

standing dunks 3 sets of 8

some things not in the video:
squat jumps 3 sets of 15
calf raises 2 sets of 100
1 leg squats 4 sets of 6 each leg

things to remember:
strong legs are not the only thing you need to jump high, you also need to have a strong core so ab workouts would help a lot
you need to allow your legs to recover, this means do not do the workout everyday or you could get injured

Does Your Rim Go Higher Then 9.5?? Cuz you Can Easily Dunk On 10 from wat Im Seeing!!

[fc101dunk]

@Raythizzel yeah dude but these drills are really hard on 10' so i did them on 9.5

[joshsherrod1978]

thats bad for your knees, every time you jump it pulls the bones apart from the weight, if you want to do anything "like this" you should use a medicine ball to dunk, thats what i used to do, or get a weight vest

[fc101dunk]

@joshsherrod1978 i have never had any problems but im probaly just not gonna use them anymore and use my weighted vest to be safe

[steventar]

were the exercises you did on 9.5ft?

[fc101dunk]

@steventar yeah

@joshsherrod1978 I agree 100pct. I do this as well. Like get a 10-15lbl medicine ball that has handles and do box jumps. I do around my lower chest for this exercise and it works great.
