Basketball Vertical Jump Enhancers

Question

I've been looking for something that will raise my vertical jump and i was wondering of all of those enhancers really work. the money isn't a problem i just don't want to waist it on something that won't do anything. also any workouts to help gain vertical jump would help too. i do work out I'm just not sure what i am really supposed to do to strengthen those muscles. any suggestions are appreciated.

Answer 1

Lay off pills. They have their proven formulas or whatever, but people's bodies respond to substances differently. There is never a guarantee. If you want to take protein that's fine. Finding the correct training should be your main focus though. The first step is to develop a strength base with squats and deadlifts. Once that is developed, you can get into power lifts like clean and snatch and plyometric drills. There's good info here http://offto.net/jumpjump/

Answer 2

Box Jumps and Jump Rope

Answer 3

BOX JUMPS are the best thing!  

Answer 4

Best you can do is to work the twitch muscles in your calves. I built an inclined board, and jumped from that. This is essentially what all of the vertical jump enhancers do.
