You Can Jump Higher By Working Out Less
Are you serious about your vertical leap training?
Correct training to improve your vertical jump is very COUNTER INTUITIVE.
is an explosion caused by the sudden tightening of fast twitch muscle fibers. Because of this, vertical leap training must be "anaerobic." Too many athletes are training in a way that develops mostly their "aerobic" endurance.
What is the difference in training?
Basketball players have been told that running cross country would increase their vertical. This is big mistake. Running long distances like that can cause your vertical jump to plummet.
Sprinting, like jumping is a much less aerobic event. How often do you see a sprinter running long distances as part of their training for sprinting? NEVER! Then why do so many vertical leap programs make us PACING ourselves during our vertical jump training workouts?
NEVER NEVER NEVER PACE YOURSELF DURING YOUR VERTICAL JUMP TRAINING!
You have seen it before. Athletes running flights of stairs or out of breath from doing speed ladder drills. Or maybe get done jumping rope for 20 minutes and you are worn out. You are going to say to yourself, "Now that was a tough workout, surely that will help my vertical."
This is not explosive training, so they are NOT going to see results in explosive moves. I assure you, they will not be satisfied. You must train for explosion and not endurance to increase your vertical leap.
"Explosive" training will not feel right to start with. You won't get the same burn as training aerobically. In some ways explosion traing is easier, although it requires much more focus and short term energy.
Your vertical jump training can improve incredibly soley by decreasing repetition and increasing intensity.
Doesn't exercising less to get more results sound like the best of both worlds?
