You Can Increase Your Vertical Jump 2-3 Inches Today by Changing Your Jumping Form
I have good news for you today, here it is….Jumping higher is a skill that can be learned. If you implement the correct jumping techniques and practice them regularly, you can make significant gains in your vertical leap very quickly. It seems like every time I go to the basketball court I see a guy who is trying to dunk, and he is very close, but just can’t seem to throw it down.
These guys get the same result every time……another missed dunk! Why is this? Well, they are using the same approach, the same mis-steps, and the same bad form each time. If they would take some time out and practice implementing the proper jumping techniques they could get the extra inches they are looking for and be dunking in no time. Adjusting your jumping form can increase your vertical leap by 3-6 inches! That is pretty impressive if you ask me. So what is the perfect jumping form? Let’s take a look…
Listed below I have the 7 steps to a perfect jump. Remember this is just a brief summary of jumping form but all the steps are there. If you would like more in-depth information on increasing your vertical jump go to the links I have listed at the bottom of the page.
1. Warm Up – Warming up before you prepare to jump will increase the elasticity of you muscles and joints. It will improve blood flow to your muscles as well.
2. Stretch – It’s sounds boring but it is necessary. Stretching will further increase the elasticity of your muscles which is what we want.
3. Remove Any Mental Blocks – You must have the mindset that you are going to gather up all the jumping potential that you have within you. Failure is not an option for you! Imagine yourself successfully jumping to new heights.
4. Exaggerate The Last Step – This will put your body in the perfect position and prepare your muscles for EXPLODING up.
5. Use Your Whole Body – Don’t just jump with your legs. Use your arms and lower back to help you out as well. Throw them in an upward motion to help propel you higher in the air. Also, pointing your toes upward toward your knees just before you EXPLODE up will allow for a more full range of motion.
6. Transfer Your Momentum – Allow your forward momentum to be successfully transferred upward without slowing or stopping before you take off.
7. Be Quick – You must perform these movements quickly in order to allow all your momentum to fluidly transfer upward and increase your vertical. Going too slow, shuffling your feet, or over-exaggerating the last step will throw off the synchronization of the movement.
My goal is that this overview of the perfect jumping form will help you find those extra inches in your vertical that you have been looking for. For more information on how you can improve your vertical jump visit the links I have at the bottom of the page.
