Vertical Leap training thread

[Raptorel]

LOL... why can't you get on my site. My site, if you can call it that, is actually a forum where I write my articles. The real address is http://members.lycos.co.uk/robasket/phpBB2/index.php , but I prefer to call it www.streetballromania.tk . Anyway you want to call it, you can enter it.

Bodyweight only execises only work on beginners and people who don't jump a lot or very hard. They didn't work for me, because I'm quite an advanced jumper already, and I jump very hard everytime, I already have the technique down. I just need the strength and power so weights is much better. You only have to look at how big and heavy Olympic Lifters are, and then look at their verticals of 36 to 43+ inches! And they don't even do plyometrics or any jump training.
Imagined if they did! They would be good for another 6+ inches or so.

Some guy on another board said the people he were training were all around 300lbs in bodyweight and they all increased their verticals 4-6 inches or so after 2 months of Cleans, Snatches and Squats.

I have read Kelly Bagget's vertical jump bible E-Book

http://www.higher-faster-sports.com/verticaljump.html

Yeah the Advert looks a bit dodgy, but it's all very good stuff and legit, pretty much covers it all, well worth getting if you want to get up there one day

Like anything, if a person got his VJ up to 40+ inches with hard work, then he knows something - see pic at 5'9"

i recently got Kelly Bagget's VJ E-BIBLE and it is does indeed have everything you need to know about increasing your vertical leap. anyone interested in jumping higher should invest in this book. best thing is, you pay for it, then download it right onto your computer. no waiting for it to deliver or anything. also if you want to learn more about plyometrics there are 2 very good books that you can get as a set at amazon.com (jumping into plyometrics and high powered plyometrics)
both are very good books from a plyometric standpoint, and they give you tons of exersizes.

Any idea what his "baseline" VJ was? Just wondering since you say he did it w/ "hard work".
