I'm tired of these bullshit vertical leap claims somebody tell me one that works?

Question

can anybody please tell me a vertical leap program that isn't a bunch of bs that will increase my vertical 5-10 inches, and yes i am willing to put time and effort into it

Answer 1

If you're willing to buy something, the Vertical Jump Bible is the best program. But you can be successful on your own with the right knowledge. Basically, strength is the first step toward a higher vertical. If you hit the wieght room and improve your squat max dramatically, your vertical will improve with it. Once you have strength, other training like plyometrics can be effective. A lot of programs just prescribe plyometrics, which is wrong to do, because a lot of people already have decent plyometric ability from playing sports. Those programs will only be effective if the athlete has untapped strength. Go to this website and read all of it. http://verticalleaptraining.blogspot.com It's all good info

Ever think of just jumping?

Stand under the basket, do about 25-30 reps at a time, jumping as high as you can, hands up.   You can monitor your progress that way.  Pick a target spot on the net, and just jump.  

When we did that in high school, some guys were required to simply  touch the bottom of the net, some were required to reach the middle of the net, or the bottom of the backboard, or the rim, depending on where you're starting from (height-wise) and how high you could get to begin with.

There's also no substitute for jumping rope to improve leg strength and stamina.

If you've been sitting at home playing video games for the past few  years, instead of being out there playing, it's gonna take you longer to get where you want to be.

There aren't any magical shoes that will help you jump higher. Jumping is done with the muscles in your legs, not with your shoes.   You'll notice that Michael Jordan could jump even before "Air Jordan" shoes came out.  Nike didn't build a magical shoe that would make Jordan a great leaper.  They simply found a guy who already WAS a great leaper and paid him to endorse their shoes. It worked.  Look at all of the idiots out there who think they can play basketball because they're wearing Jordan shoes.   Have you seen any other Michael Jordan's out there?  Neither have I.  The shoes have nothing to do with it.
