admin If you are tired of falling short on your jumps, there are several thing that need to be included in your training in order to have good results. If you listen up, I’ll tell you about 2 great drills that are a good beginning place to start your work out to add a few inches to your vertical.
Dumbbell Squat Jumps are an awesome beginner workout. They are a plyometric exercise that you need to use in order to strengthen your core, legs and hip explosion muscles. The only things you need are dumbbells and a strong flat floor. Do not try this exercise if you are out of shape or just starting to work out. Start out with weights that you feel comfortable completing the set with. Hold the dumbbells at your side and have your feet at shoulder width. Go to the squat position and jump. You’ll want to do about 10-15 reps per set, and about 2-3 sets in a session.
Another great exercise is keg tosses. You will find this exercise in the world’s strongest man workout. This exercise will make your core, hip explosion and upper body muscles very strong. Squat down in front of the beer keg when its on its side. You’ll want to pick up the keg by its sides and throw it upwards as hard as you can. If you try to catch the keg, you might hurt yourself. You want to do this until you cannot throw it anymore. You will feel extremely worn out after this exercise.
Exercises like these and many more can be found in the Jump Manual by Jacob Hiller. It’s time to get serious about your jumping height, I highly recommend you check out this program. Don’t let me sell you on the book, look up the Jump Manual review while you are still interested in increasing your jump height. I wish you the best of luck in your jump higher journey!
