What are some ways to improve my vertical jump?

Question

Right now, Im 5'10" and weight 190lbs. I tested my vertical and its 18".

I want to be able to dunk. What are some equipments I should use or some drills I should do to improve my vertical? (Jumpsoles, Plyometrics, ankle weights, stairs, etc.)

Answer 1

jump roping helps

jumpsoles really help

leg workouts help too

Answer 2

hit the weight room... do some cleans (i hope you know what those are)... pull out the good old weight vest and run up a set of stairs for twenty minutes doing different things such as run up run down, hop on one leg up and down switch...so on and so forth... drop your weight a little 180 should be good (explanation in a minute)... do squats and that will definitely help alot

i was a sophomore when i was able to dunk... i was 5-11 183 and i dont play basketball anymore... i did when i was like 5-9 but i quit for lax and hockey... but i have since 10th grade been able to dunk on the 10.5 foot rims in the gym (main basketball hoops)

Answer 3

i've seen some good results with this:

wall sits

regular jumping

net touches

squats/hands on head

'', hands in front

squats holding a weight plate

squats with bar behind head

ankle weights with jump rope

tip toe raises

power rebounds

palms on ceiling

i found most of this online

hope i helped ;]
