How to Jump Higher Plyometric Exercises

Playing any sport that favors jumping such as basketball or volleyball can be hard to excel at unless you are really tall or have a good vertical jump. Learning how to jump higher with plyometric exercises is the key to dominating your competition.

I had tried for years to jump higher with minimal success and I was getting very frustrated. Until I came across a jump higher workout that actually got me doing the correct jumping exercises to give me the results I wanted.

It turns out that I wasn’t understanding the biomechanics of jumping and plyometric training. A plyometric workout needs to focus on the fast twitch fibers in the legs and the exercises need to be done correctly.

I was trying to work more on leg strength and I was ignoring the speed part of the equation. Jumping is a result of power and power is the sum of speed and strength. So only having one or the other will not result in an increase of vertical jump height.

Everyone lacks either one or the other. Either you have strong legs that lack speed or fast legs that lack strength. It’s important you know which is holding you back and focus on that area. There are many that lack both and a jump program will work perfectly for you to strengthen both. No matter what area you are lacking development, you can improve it and jump higher.
