Jumping Higher !

I am a 5’6 volleyball player, and my vertical leap isn’t where I want it to be. Try-outs are in August, so I am looking for daily exercises that will help increase it by then.

before you start killing yourself with these crazy workouts you can got buy some ankle weights and jumping high enough to keep going for a minute ( preferably three quarters maximum vert. ) do that for the minute, do it for another minute, etc about four to five times. like one said do some blocking drills those help. The key is your CALVES thats your jumping ability so if you know a work out or two to work those out your set those are the ones i used but im about six foot and can grab rim

Hey listen are you interested in increasing your vertical jump, well keep reading this article because you have come to the right place. I am a vertical jump training advisor with a ton of knowledge and personal experience gaining a great vertical jump. Jumping can be a really fun exciting way to build power and strength; it also will help take your sport to the next level. Here I will share with you the basics from how to eat, how to exercise and how recovery is key to success for achieving an eye popping vertical jump.

Nutrition To Fuel Your Body:
Stay in the ZONE so eat 5 to7 times small meals throughout the day in order for your body and mind to perform at peak levels; as well as giving your body and mind nutrition to heal and repair itself through recovery. The foundation to your diet should consist of wet carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables, not dry carbohydrates like pasta, or white breads. Next you need your protein such as chicken, tuna, salmon, lean beef, and protein shakes. Finally you will need essential fats, which are Omega 3 and Omega 6. Also get you vitamins and make sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day.

Exercises To Increase Your Vertical Jump:
Keep you core muscles strong, make sure you are doing abs, obliques, and lower back exercises. Always keep you posture to keep you back and abs lean. When you are working out to increase your vertical jump you will build lean muscle tissue, this in itself will help you jump higher. Keep your exercises explosive and quick, do not over train but keep the intensity high. Do not go to failure, when you feel like your next rep will not be as explosive or you ca not lift the same weight stop the set or exercise. For example for maximum jumps, jump as high as you can then when you land jump back up to the same height as your first jump, these are reps you want to count, if you jump lower stop immediately.
