Has anyone here trained strictly to get higher vert? Can we think of the most optimal routine to increase our vert?
Box jumps
>>77280772I've heard jumping a lot helps
>>77280772Practicing jumping on one foot at a time. Jump on left foot for a set of whatever reps as high as you can then on the right foot. I hear people also use weights too but I feel like this would hurt your joints. Jump height is also based on your power, how quickly can you move weight from point A to point B, so power training would be best. Thing like power cleans, deadlifts, anything where your aim is to move weights quickly will all help with power.
>>77280772The optimal routine is looking at your current attributes and targeting your weaknesses. This channel is a good resource https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBHQmtryXlYPc4z4zum5GfA
box jumps with weights
>>77280772Yes you can train to get higher vert, but we'd NEVER be at this level. They are born with it. Like, I could train as much as Mike Tyson did in boxing, but he'd kill me every time all the time. You see, he is, well, ferocious. >genetics
>>77280772this is literally the reason kneesovertoes guy started his channel. look up his early stuff on yt
>>77280772Check out Isaiah Rivera, pro dunker that worked his way up from average joe to 50+ inch vertical.
