How to jump higher for basketball.
What if you could gain inches to your vertical and start performing like a beast on the basketball
court?
The average vertical jump for a male is 16-20 inches while the average vertical jump for
a female is 12-16 inches. Scientists say that unless your vertical is in the 50's you're
nowhere near your athletic potential.
If you can believe that a 40- 50 inch vertical is within your reach then you can achieve
it. You can certainly add at least 10 inches to your vertical with the right workout plan.
If you want to start jumping higher you need to increase your flexibility. Flexibility
will help your vertical jump form, your strength and your quickness. One of the greatest things
about increasing your flexibility is that it will help prevent future injuries.
Don't skip pre and post workout stretching. Most guys think that stretching is pointless
or a waste of time but that is a ignorant way to look at it. Stretching helps to loosen
your muscles and get them ready for athletic activity. It also important to do warm ups
such as jogging.
There are a few stretches that are great for increasing your jumping ability such as quad
stretches, lunge stretches, and hamstring stretches.
I'm assuming that you already know the basic exercises you can do to increase your vertical
jump like squats and calf raises so adding daily stretching to your workouts will benefit
you. One won't work without the other. The best thing to do is combine stretching with
your workouts.
For example, I would start with some jogging and then do some stretching. Then I would
go into the actual workout and finish with some more stretching. This will help you get
the most from your workouts as well as help you prevent injuries.
If you want to jump higher when you're playing basketball, it makes a lot more sense to work
smarter, rather than work harder. Make goals for yourself, whether it's getting your first
dunk to go down or touching your head on the rim you should stick to your goals and do
what it takes to achieve them.
However, if you've gone through all of the basic exercises for several months and are
using the perfect technique then you really need to hit the next level, i will recommend
