These type of exercises along with low-level depth jumps (shock training) are very good for explosive speed and jumping power.....ABSORBING force efficiently is often overlooked by the gurus who advocate force production and strength development as just going into the gym and lifting till one blacks out but they don't really explain the importance of stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) and other single leg work ....this guy is worth listening to

@mutzilnosoundl you're simply not jumping "straight up" and when you're kicking up with the other leg, make sure you're pushing straight and not towards a 45 angle.

also it could be abs, but that's doubtful. you can start some simple ab training, you'll feel better and more comfortable doing any exercise, also it will make you jump higher!

hope this helped you :)

Ok, I got a question for u guys. Almost every time when I jump (by jumping I mean one leg jump as high as i can, like dunking a basketball) I spin like 270 to 360 degrees. Is this because my "central" body muscles (or whatever it is, sry my eng is not perfect) like abs, ribs, back etc. are weak? Or do I jump wrong?
