How To Increase Vertical Jump - The First Step To Jumping Higher Through Form

By:


I want to go over these vertical jump training principles concerning correct form. And if you follow these correctly, you're going to be able to immediately get another two, or up to even six inches on your vertical by having correct form and allowing your body to do what it's capable of doing. These principles are going to allow you to go outside right now and put these into effect and actually get a higher vertical immediately. Now, I know you're thinking, "That's pie in the sky." "That's crazy." But really, they're just scientific principles.

When it comes to vertical jump form we have the quads and we have the hamstrings. And they have an inverse relationship. The first thing that you want to do is prime your muscles so that you can jump higher. Now, before you just log off, and say I'm just talking about stretching and flexibility, there's more to this story.

First of all, understand that inasmuch as your hamstrings are going to be warmed up, then your quadriceps are going to be able to contract at full potential without the resistance of a stiff hamstring. The more you're able to get that muscle flexible and access the elastic quality of the muscle, you're going to be able to get more spring and more full contraction out of your muscle.

So, when you're warming up, you need to stretch completely the inverse of every muscle involved in the jump: you need to stretch the quad, you need to stretch the hamstring, the calves, the anterior tibialis. You need to stretch a full body so that all of your muscles are free to contract at their fullest capacity.

What is going to happen is when your muscles are warm, they're going to have more elasticity, you're going to be able to stretch them more, and you're going to have increased blood flow and energy supply to your muscles. Before you start anything, before you start wanting to reach your top explosion potential, during that jumping session, make sure that you've done that correctly.
