Box it!
Training notesWhite men can’t jump, it is a fact! If it weren’t then no one would buy Air Jordans π There must be a way to learn to jump higher!? There is. Actually there are a lot of ways to train to increase your ability to jump higher. Many techniques offer mediocre results. For instance, jumping rope will give you only a slight improvement. So what is the secret? Practice. That’s right if you want to jump higher you need to start jumping more. But you need a way to train your body to jump higher and repetitions of standing and jumping will not help. So here is the drill. |

Get a sturdy box, one that can support more then your weight. The Reebok Step System is a good sturdy platform. You want to start out with the “Box” at 6 to 8 inches. Stand with the “Box” one foot in front of you on the floor. Stand straight with your feet shoulder width apart and square with the “Box”. Bend you knees and hips (squat position), drive your arms back for momentum. Now swinging your arms to propel yourself forward, jump as high as you can upward and forward. Land with bent knees on the “Box”. Do 5 sets of 5 jumps, rest 2-3 minutes between sets. If the height is to easy increase it to the next level. You want to slowly work your way up so the Box is 18 – 24 inches high. This might take a while so good luck! |
