Steps On How To Increase Vertical
I’m going to teach you what you need to know if you want to learn how to increase your vertical jump and give you an exercise you can start using today to help you get started immediately.
If you want to increase your vertical jump, it’s super important to understand that there are two main elements that will pretty much either guarantee you success or failure so listen up 
.
Here are the two things that you absolutely have to have if you want to increase your vertical jump:
1) Strength
2) Quickness
You see, most people (myself included) do strength training and don’t realize that they are actually hurting their chances of increasing their vertical jump by training the wrong way.
Here’s how.
When most athletes do strength training exercises, they train to try and get as strong as they possibly can by loading up on the weight and trying to increase their maximum rep.
While being able to max out at a billion pounds while squatting may impress your buddies, it’s really not going to do anything if you want to increase your vertical.
You have to do strength training but also train for quickness at the same time and one of the best exercises on the planet to do this is the full body squat
Here’s how to increase your vertical jump using the full body squat.
First off, make sure that there’s a good amount of weight on the bar but not too much (I’ll explain what that means a little better in a second) and then SLOWLY squat down (you don’t want your momentum to counteract the weight on the bar).
When you’ve reached the bottom of your squat, explode up as quickly as you can (this is where you make sure you have enough weight that this isn’t easy) and then repeat.
You want to do this exercise at the highest intensity you possibly can to ensure that you are training your fast twitch muscles otherwise your vertical jump won’t increase worth a darn and only do it a couple a times per week so you give your body enough time to rest.
And that’s it.
