So I mentioned the other day that I wanted to increase my vertical jump, and so Dad and I measured and I have a 16 inch vertical jump which is pretty good for my age. So I have been looking on the Internet and have come up with a workout routine that will improve my vertical. It is:
70 pound front squat. (3 sets of 10)
15 pound Dumbbells in each hand, jump as high as you can without a running start. (3 sets of 10)
Jump up from floor to 5'th stair without a running start. (3 sets of 10)
Finally, the most important thing to do is just to practice jumping. Try touching the backboard on a regulation size basketball hoop, touch the net, jump and try to touch the ceiling, anything that has to do with jumping.
So that's it and I hope it works well!
