it works for goku and piccolo.

yeah it'll work

Use the belt or something instead. You risk injury with ankle weights and if you are young you should never do that.

Answer 4

yeah, you got to have strong legs.

It can help a little bit, but it can also injure you. Your much better off getting on a strength training and plyometric program designed for jumping. There's good info here http://verticalleaptraining.blogspot.com

The best way to improve your vertical is to get a program.  Head over to http://www.athletessecret.com/vertical_l... where they rank the top 3 and get one of those.

Answer 7

Yes, but don't expect to have 48 inch vertical leap. You can only jump as high as your limit.
