3 Crucial Exercises To Increase Vertical Jump
If you've looked online for exercises to increase vertical jump, you've probably realized that the advice is plentiful and varied. From my years of experience working with athletes, I have realized there are 3 critical exercises you must do to increase your vertical jump:
1. Squats - more specifically free weight squats. You want to do free weight squats as opposed to squats on a leg press or other machine because free weight squats, when done correctly, will also strengthen your core. This is extremely important as the core is a key area you need to strengthen if you want to increase your vertical jump.
Free weight squats are a key exercise to increase vertical jump because they will strengthen your quads, hamstrings and glutes, which are all essential for vertical explosion off of the ground.
2. Calf raises - calf raises are another one of the critical exercises to increase vertical jump because your calves are a key muscle group that give you both power and explosiveness.
There are a multitude of ways to do calf raises to increase your calf strength, but you want to make sure you pick a calf raise exercise that is both comfortable as well as challenging.
3. Leg raises - what I mean by leg raises are the kind where you hang from a chin-up bar and lift your knees to your chest. This is a critical exercise to increase vertical jump because it not only strengthens your abs (part of your core), but it also strengthens your hip flexors, which provide additional explosiveness.
There are additional exercises to increase vertical jump, but these 3 are the primary ones I like to target. These should get you on the right path to increasing your vertical jump.

Raise (Mining) $79.66 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles In underground mining a raise refers to a vertical or inclined excavation that leads from one level, or drift, to another. A raise may also extend to surface. There are four excavation methods for raises: 1. Conventional or open raise 2. Longhole or drop raise 3. Alimak 4. Raise boring A raise borer is a machine used in underground mining, to excavate a circular hole between two levels of a mine without the use of explosives. The raise borer is set up on the upper level of the two levels to be connected, on an evenly laid platform (typically a concrete pad). A smalldiameter hole (pilot hole) is drilled to the level required; the diameter of this hole is typically 230mm 350mm (9 15 ), large enough to accommodate the drill string. Once the drill has broken into the opening on the target level, the bit is removed and a reamer head, of the required diameter of the excavation, is attached to the drill string and raised back towards the machine. The drill cuttings from the reamer head fall to the floor of the lower level. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.

The Blessing of a Skinned Knee: Using Jewish Teachings to Raise Self-Reliant Children $14.6 In the trenches of a typical day, every parent encounters a child afflicted with ingratitude and entitlement. In a world where material abundance abounds, parents want so badly to raise self-disciplined, appreciative, and resourceful children who are not spoiled by the plentitude around them. But how to accomplish this feat? The answer has eluded the best-intentioned mothers and fathers who overprotect, overindulge, and overschedule their children's lives. Dr. Mogel helps parents learn how to turn their children's worst traits into their greatest attributes. Starting with stories of everyday parenting problems and examining them through the lens of the Torah, the Talmud, and important Jewish teachings, "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee" shows parents how to teach children to honor their parents and to respect others, escape the danger of overvaluing children's need for self-expression so that their kids don't become "little attorneys," accept that their children are both ordinary "and" unique, and treasure the power and holiness of the present moment. It is Mogel's singular achievement that she makes these teachings relevant for any era and any household of any faith. A unique parenting book, designed for use both in the home and in parenting classes, with an on-line teaching guide to help facilitate its use, "The Blessing of a Skinned Knee" is both inspiring and effective in the day-to-day challenge of raising self-reliant children. |
