If you’re a basketball player, improving your vertical jump can be a game changer for on-court performance 🚀💪🏽
These are the three key areas you should focus on if you’re looking to increase your vertical jump 🔥
✅ Max force production
Developing high levels of lower-body strength increases how much force you can put into the ground, increasing your overall jump potential.
💡 Think - squats, trap bar deadlifts, split squats, hip thrusts, etc.
✅ Rate of force development
Training how quickly you can apply force allows you to express strength fast, which is super important for explosive take-offs in game situations.
💡 Think - Oly lift variations, med ball exercises, jump squats, etc.
✅ Reactive strength & ankle stiffness
Improving your ability to absorb and re-apply force efficiently reduces energy leaks and improves bounce, especially during quick jumps and second efforts.
💡 Think - drop jumps, pogos, calf raises, overcoming ISOs, etc.
