For anyone
looking to increase their vertical jump, it is absolutely
necessary that you undergo proper training techniques. It
may be true that genetics play a considerable role in an
individual’s capacity for peak power, however the fact still
remains that very few of your competitors or team mates
train specifically to increase their vertical leaping power.
Basically, there are 3 main methods in which you will learn
to use in Luke’s Book. You will learn to increase your
vertical jump with traditional weight training. This method
incorporates exercises such as squats, lunges, leg presses
and toe raises which are all used to improve maximal
strength. Secondly, we have Dynamic weight training. An
example of a dynamic weight training exercise is the jump
squat. Lighter loads are used and the resistance is
accelerated explosively through the full range of motion.
Lastly we have plyometric training. Plyometrics are the most
commonly used training method to increase vertical jump
power. It "bridges the gap between strength and speed”.
