There are
various exercises that you can use to increase your vertical
leap. In most training regime’s this will consist of 3
different types of exercise systems including traditional
weight training (for power and overall strength), dynamic
weight training (for explosiveness and speed bursts) and
plyometric training (for flexibility and agility).
Contrary to
popular belief, hammering your legs away on the leg press
machine, squat rack and calf raise machine won’t enable you
to increase your vertical leap. This is one of the major
topic’s in Luke Lowrey’s book ‘the Vertical Project. Lifting
to failure is inferior for increasing your vertical leap and
explosive speeds because as your muscles get closer to the
point of failure, they become sloppy and generate less and
less power.
