Top 10 tips to increase vertical leap while avoiding injury

vertical jump injury

While training intensely to reach athletic goals, sometimes injury prevention isn’t on the forefront of people’s minds. But this is a huge mistake. There’s nothing that could derail your training and your adding inches to your vertical than an injury. Read the full article on increasing vertical leap while avoiding injury here.

Save time and money when training your vert

Do you know the difference between explosion and endurance? This will save countless hours of unthinkable training! Read more and watch a video here about how to jump higher.

How to jump higher… Immediately. Pipe dream, or reality?

imageLove this question.  It’s an incessant classic, and rightly so.  If you are going to expend effort, you might as well get the fastest and most complete results possible.





Before we begin:

  1. You should realize that the training techniques that give you the most immediate results, may not always yield the same results.  Focus on quick results, but ALSO focus on long term results.
  2. There are a variety of vertical jump training techniques that will give you results, focusing on many will provide you with the fastest and most comprehensive results.

Additional strength, plyometrics ability, flexibility, and CNS conditioning WILL yield excellent results in your vertical jump training efforts.  However, these will not yield the most immediate results to your vertical leap. (But you should still do them!)

The above training methods require a recovery phase.  A recovery phase is the time that your body adapts or reacts to the stress placed on your body.  For example muscle tension from resistance training (weight training) induces small micro tears on the muscle, and the recovery phase causes your body to super compensate so that your body can handle that level of stress.  A similar process takes place on your tendons, and CNS (central nervous system).

The super compensatory period is extremely important, and in The Jump Manual we talk a lot about how to ensure that this recovery period is as effective as possible.  However if you are looking for immediate results, (who isn’t!) you need to a training technique that doesn’t require this recovery period.



Super compensation is your body’s natural reaction to physical stress.  Super compensation takes place regularly as your body adapts to it’s surroundings and the stresses placed upon it.  Proper training harnesses  super compensation process to systematically create a stronger, faster, and more injury resistant body.



Once again I stress you should be doing training that requires recovery, but this post addresses the question of gaining fast or instant results.




















The one training method that can actually yield instant and lasting results is…



Improvements in your vertical jump form

image Olympic jumpers, high jumpers, long jumpers etc know the value of improving form.  Jumping form makes up a large percentage of their training time.  They have their steps and stride lengths well calculated in order to jump higher and longer.

Unfortunately, basketball and other sports take place in a much more dynamic environment and it is not possible to approach vertical jumping form with the same degree of exactness.  For example you may jump from the free-throw line, or from inside of the paint, off two feet or one, and from many varying speeds.  Each jump in basketball can be very different from others, whereas each jump in long, triple, and high jump are nearly identical.

The good news is that you can take many of the principles that are used in Olympic jumping sports, and apply them effectively to your own vertical jump efforts.

How to jump higher with form

Some training methods using form allow you to get results after a specific form issue is addressed.  Others may require short learning periods (hours, days, or weeks) for your body to grow more accustomed to a movement.  Others still may require a life time to learn and master.  Here are a few videos that can help you get started:

What every effective vertical leap program MUST have

1. A targeted weight training program. Weight training is
perhaps the quickest way to increase muscle fiber size and
strength and therefore explosion.

2. A targeted plyometrics and training program. Strength is
nothing without quickness added to it. A program must
train quickness.

3. A focus on explosion and not endurance. Quality is NOT
(NEVER) quantity. This is very very very important.

4. Diet information. You MUST know what to eat to increase
your gains. You have no idea the difference it makes.

5. A guarantee. If they won’t let you take it back if it
doesn’t work, simply
do not buy it in the first place. Beware of programs that can’t promise results. Vertical jumping is a science. If you work out correctly, you will see results.

6. Mentoring. People are different. We need to ensure
that the little questions we have about the
program are answered so we can give ourselves fully to it.

I only know of one program that offers these for an
affordable price, and I am completely biased to say so
but…

Your first step to vertical leap success

Do you want to know how maximize your athletic potential?

There are stories all over about people who seem shorter, weaker, and slower than you are, yet with better verticals than you. But if you’ve tried everything available to gain inches on your vert, and still haven’t succeeded, then you may be asking yourself: “What do they have that I don’t?”

The difference between those athletes and you

To become a successful athlete you have to learn to be successful during your workout routine. Most people think trial and error will get them there, but the truth is this: if trial and error were all it took, you and everyone else would be dunking by now!

Instead, most people after struggling for too long, finally give up on their dreams. This is really too bad, because it’s actually possible for anyone to add at least 10 inches to their vertical.

Strategy #1: Be Confident.

Sounds simple enough, right?

Actually, this is one of the biggest hurdles for vertical jump wannabes. The market is so glutted with products, it takes something special to get the results you want. You should be looking for a program that’s not just going to get you 3 inches, or 6 inches. You need a program that will help you add at least 10 inches to your vert, or you won’t be reaching your maximum potential.

There’s an old quote that goes: “If you’re going to do something, do it right or not at all.” You want to have access to the BEST and most quality program available, that will bring you the most gains.
So to be confident, you have to know that the workout routine you’re giving your time to is based on correct scientific principles.

And when you’re physically superior, stronger and more able than other people on the court, you’re automatically going to feel more confident.

Hope that helps to get you started. Til next time.
