Do you know a good plyometric workout...

Question

I am trying to increase my vertical leap and I was wondering if anyone knew of a good workout to help me do that more effectively.

Answer 1

I'll give you a workout but plyometrics might not be the best workout for you. They're most effective if you already have a strength reserve that you haven't tapped into. Can you squat a lot? The weight room might be your best bet. Read this http://offto.net/jumpjump/

ankle hops 2x20

line jumps (side to side) 2x40 each foot

box jumps 3x8

lunge jumps 3x12

rim touches 3x10

tuck jumps 3x15

That's just one example. Make the workout harder as you progress by either adding a set or substituting more intense exercises. Get a lot of rest too. Plyos are tough on your muscles and nervous system.
