If you want to learn how to jump higher fast, you will need to be really determine and focus while following the strict regime of a good jump higher program. The most important thing that you can have while engaging with the exercises taught in the jump higher program is self belief.

If you know that you are going to increase your verticals, if you know that you are going to dominate the game, nothing will stop you from succeeding. Step 3. Jump as high as you can while flinging your arms forward and overhead.

Land softly with a slight knee bend, being careful not to let your knees cave inward. Drive them outward as you did when preparing to jump in the first place. At the competitive level i. A cheaper, more feasible option is to do your jump next to a wall and mark the highest point you touch with a piece of chalk. You can measure your reach up against a wall for the chalk option. For example, if your reach is 90 inches and you touched inches up on the wall with your chalk, your vertical leap is 25 inches.

Most official vertical jump tests do NOT permit any steps to be taken leading into the jump. No running start or even a power step allowed. Stand on both feet in one spot and jump from that spot. The defining characteristic of the depth jump is that the jump is preceded with the strong eccentric negative muscle action caused by dropping down from a raised surface, as opposed to a standard box jump where you start on the floor. This makes the depth jump a true plyometric movement, where the muscles are stretched suddenly by the impact of the landing , producing a powerful shortening of the muscle fibers.

Your body should be fully upright and your feet hip-width apart, hands at your sides. Step off the box, leading with one foot and then following with the other, to drop yourself down to the floor. Land squarely on the floor on both feet again, around hip-width apart and immediately jump as high as you can, straight up in the air. Just let your hips and knees dip naturally, then extend them explosively to launch upward.

Drive your arms straight up as you do so. Step 4. Land back down on the floor with soft knees, settle yourself, then step back onto the box and repeat the sequence for reps. Technique Tip: Be mindful of your body position as you land on the floor and go into the explosive jump. Your hips should be over your heels, and your weight over the center of your feet.

You want to jump straight up vertical , not out in front of you. Timing: Do depth jumps early in your workout, before lower-body strength exercises like squats.

In the absence of a plyo box, depth jumps can be performed using a standard weight bench. Athletes often do depth jumps with two plyo boxes: one to step off of and another to jump onto.

When doing this variation, make sure to leave enough room between the boxes to allow you to land and jump safely 3—5 feet between boxes should work. To advance within this progression, increase the height of the second box gradually as you develop more strength and power. Adding resistance to jumping exercises versus using bodyweight only can help increase strength and power. Stand a few feet back from a wall holding a medicine ball about 10 pounds in both hands. You should have plenty of floor space in front of you to jump.

Start with the ball overhead, arms extended, and your feet hip-to-shoulder-width apart. Lower your arms toward the floor and bend at the hips and knees to create elastic energy for the jump.

This is technically the eccentric, or negative, phase of the exercise. Toss the ball into the wall and jump as far out in front of you as possible. Land with bent knees, through your heels, and absorb the eccentric force by going into a squat if necessary. This finishing squat is not a crucial part of the exercise—just a safe way to land. Catch the ball as it rebounds if you can, or, if the wall is further away, let the ball fall.

Then pick it up and repeat for reps. Technique Tip: When doing a broad long jump for maximum distance, you want to get some height, but not too much.

Aim for your trajectory to be under 45 degrees. Timing: Do medicine-ball broad jumps early in your workout, before heavy lower-body strength movements. Those new to explosive jump training should start with no added resistance. In this case, simply do the standing broad jump without the med ball.

Khan often adds an extra layer of resistance to the med-ball broad jump with his athletes: a heavy-duty elastic band attached to the back of the waist with a belt and anchored to a solid structure behind the athlete at floor level. As the athlete jumps and travels through the air, the resistance from the band increases as it stretches. Set up in a squat rack and grasp the bar with your hands as far apart as is comfortable. Step under the rack and squeeze your shoulder blades together and down, wedging yourself under the bar so that it rests on your traps or the back of your shoulders.

Nudge the bar out of the rack and step back, setting your feet at shoulder width, with your toes turned slightly outward. Take a deep breath into your belly and brace your core, pulling your ribs down so your torso forms a solid column. Keep your weight over your mid foot and your eyes facing forward. Bend your hips back and spread your knees apart as you lower your body down. I edited the format just to get them to fit the space but other than that, these are straight from the thousands of emails I've received from jumpers all over the world.

You're really good trainer. Thank you again. I have seen the program work time and time again. It's an intense regimen but there are tremendous gains to be had. Air Alert , Strength shoes , plyos you name it I tried it. Your program made sense and I gave it a shot. I gained 13 inches in 12 weeks and now I can dunk with 2 hands. Every time I play people always notice. I recommended to our coach that the whole team does the work-out cause i'm also a whole lot quicker. I was quicker and dunking easily.

My training will never be the same and I would recommend without hesitation to all my team mates. It's so cool and one of the greatest feelings and I'm glad to have all of the hard work pay off so quickly. Anyways, I'm going to keep on working at it so I can throw down some harder dunks. Thaks a lot and Merry Christmas," - James B. When I was eighteen I reached a plateau on my vertical jump, no matter how much I trained or all the exercises my coaches gave me, I couldnt go an inch higher. I was stuck at a 32 inch vertical.

After reading your program and doing the exercises for just two weeks I've increased my jump 5" already , your approach to vertical jump training has already given me a great advantage and I hope it will continue doing the same.

Thanks man! Now I can stand under the rim and dunk a basketball with 2 hands, it's freakin nuts! I recommended the program to my entire team! I really appreciate your advice and quickness to answer my email. As for the Jump Manual I am currently at a weight of lbs [5'5"].

I have gained 5. I'll be sending some more dunks, this is only the beginning Jacob, it's been one week since I started doing the Jump Manual word 4 wordand my vert has increased. I went from touching the bototm of the rim to grabbing it in one week!!!!!!!!!! This is a great manual! Gaining momentum now and feels like the old days. This works and I have only just started. After the first workout I knew this was a tremendous no nonsense program. After just two weeks committing myself I have gained 6" and this is only the beginning.

Really feeling stronger and more explosive. I am excited. Thanks for all your help! Jacob, I did get the manual and it was very easy to understand and I was able to read through it in a quick 15 minutes. As far as my progress goes, I am now starting week 4, and I am going at it hard.

I have already gone from nicking the rim to easily hanging on it. I can't wait to dunk. If you keep this up I'll be dunking in eighth grade- thanks.

I've been recommending this to friends and thanks for such an awesome program. I got the jump manual a little while ago. I really hit it hard right after i got it because i got it when school was out and i am super impressed. I've already gained 3 inches. I'm looking forward to the following weeks. Thank you for the manual! Looking forward to the following weeks of the program. I've been doing the jump program now for about 3 weeks and have already seen a noticeable improvement I'm pretty stoked with the results I've seen.

A couple days ago after a decent warm up I was dunking with one hand consistently I'm looking forward to continued improvement!. I used the workout for 3 weeks, sticking to the schedule as best as I could. I am 6 feet tall, and from just three weeks of your workout, I was able to dunk two handed. I now know your program works and I can't wait to continue with the Jump Manual. I just completed my high school volleyball season.

We did very well, taking 2nd in state. Now that the season is over I will finish the workouts. I can Jump higher and sprint faster. I am a star player in our volleyball team because of this, for the fact that I can spike stronger. Really, who can imagine that a 5 footer can spike like a 5'9.

Thank you very much. What I am now is because of this. After reviewing the section on improved jumping form I went outside and did something I have never done before.

I jumped up and grabbed onto a 10ft ring with two hands off two feet. This is a huge accomplishment for me and I am so excited to get started on the program.

I am telling my friends all about the program. Just wanted to say thanks for the program and for always responding quickly to all me questions. Thanks again," - Konrad C. Hi, since you told me to keep you updated about my progress, I think I should now do it then. So first I am 19 years old, I thought maybe its significant and I am cm tall and I weigh kilograms. I measured my vertical leap before I started working with the Jump Manual, I got After the first week working with Jump Manual on Sunday I measured it again and I got about 65 cm basically I touched the rim without an approach I've seen the improvement and it feels great!

In general, when I play I now feel like I would be lighter or something. I am glad that there is someone that knows what their doing and can sell an affordable program.

Thanks again," - Salman M. It has helped me so much that even other players have noticed the diff. Your program is an excellent tool for ppl who are wanting to reach their vertical potential. Thank you so much. I owe you so much man.

I have used strength shoes and other programs but I only gained about two inches. I have gone from just dunking with one hand to dunking with considerable force with two hands. This program is the real deal. I recommend it to any athlete who is serious about training. Thank you so much! I have finally seen how much Ive gained with the programm although I have only completed 1 or 2 weeks of it I have gained a HUGE ammount in jumping!

People are already asking me what I use to train and stuff for jumping! Its an awesome feeling man. Thanks for your help. I have already seen progress with the workout.

I am 6'4 about pounds. In high school my vertical was about a 36 inch. I am 21 years old now. I did the workout the first two weeks after I purchased it and started putting my arm in the rim. The workout is flawless. I got your program 8 days ago and I've alreadly added about 2 inches to my vertical.

You see, my vertical sucks. I'm 6'3'' and can't even dunk. I think your program will help me shut up the doubters and get some playing time on varsity as a freshman. My school needs big men and I fit the category. Thanks a lot, - Brad. I am 48 years old and 6 ft 6 inches tall. I continue to have a growing zest for volleyball after 30 years of playing. Although I was not able to practice the Jump Manual this summer as often as I liked only 3 X per week , I was able to achieve 3 more inches in two months to reach 10 ft 9 inches just shy of my 11 foot goal.

My season is back in full swing so I have to back off for a while and just practice to maintain my status. I look forward to practicing the exercises and protein drinks again in the off season. As an older person, my biggest benefit seems to come from staying flexible by stretching as much as possible. Once in the morning and once in the evening. Thanks for keeping me young, - Tim. I've been following the Jump Manual for a little over a Month now. It has helped my game tremendously.

However, I was sidelined by a bad case of Jumpers Knee! Severe pain in the front part of my right knee everytime I'd go to put any power down to jump. It was very frustrating and I happened to let Jacob know my situation. He sent me a program to resolve the issue , I've been following his advice for approx.

What a difference. I've gone back to training and have no symptoms of the dreaded Jumpers Knee! It has helped them as well. Excellent advice Jacob. First off let me start by saying that your jump manual has helped me reach a 54 inch vertical within in the last 5 months i was about at 38 inches before i started so thanks for that.

A grateful customer, - Chase M. My name is Peter Kariotis. For the past three years I have been playing professional soccer in Greece. I have recently been following Jacob Hiller's workout plan, and I have to admit that it is second to none. I've had many strength and fitness coaches through out my professional and college career, and none of them have given me workouts nearly as effective as Jake's workouts.

The way he combines explosive and power exercises into a strength gaining program is unbelievable. I would recommend his program to anyone who is serious about becoming a better athlete. This program will elevate you, and your game, to the next level, I guarantee it. If you have any doubts about this then I suggest you try it for one week. You won't doubt a damn thing after that. Strength, speed, and explosiveness are possibly the most important attributes of any athlete; this program is the best to improve everyone of those things.

Give it try, you won't regret it. Yo jacob, today i dunked two hands for the first time thanks to you. Thanks alot bro. Hey jacob, i finished the 1st week and i actualy gained 2 inches on my vert, i feel quicker and more explosive when i play basketball now, im grabing rebounds and blocking alot easier , cant wait to see in the next couple of weeks if ill be able to finally dunk.

I have recieved the jump manual informaton and i tell you the manual worked wonders and the resulits is off the chains, people want to know whats the secret. Dear Jacob, First off I want to thank you for creating such a wonderful product.

I have gained 7 inches since using your product! Im dunking but I still havent reached my potential yet. Hey Jacob!!! I started the program 14 days ago and I have already improved on my 2 foot approach. I was about 2inches away from touching the rim before I started. Just today I was able to walk up and grab the rim with both hands and hang on!

Greatest feeling! Aside from the program I have been practising my 2 footed jumping form on a lower hoop. You were completly right when you said most of jumping is form.

Thanks so much Jacob I'll let you know when i dunk it off of 2! Jacob, i bought the manual about a month and a half ago but i haven't started it yet because i want to wait for the summer so i can get some intense workouts in. I could dunk off one foot on a most of the time before i bought the manual but with just following your meal plan and stretching alot since i got it allowed me to throw a two foot two hand reverse today.

Just insane bro. Thanks so much, I jumped a 41 inch vertical this year for my school volleyball team and everyone is so impressed. I owe it all to you! Thanks again - David W. Hey Jacob, I love your program and heres why. I never did jump good until I used another program and it gained me like inches not what I wanted.

Everyone could out jump me including a kid named phillip who will be mentioned later. Then I found your program. After a month with injury not from the program I was jumping over phillip!

I even was put in the paper small town for my jumping abilities! I gained 10" already! Thank you very much Jacob. After 2 weeks of working with the Jump Manual I can certainly say that I am satisfied. It is a lot of work but I am seeing results. My vertical has increased by about 4 inches in 2 weeks. I went from a 24 inch vertical to easily a 36 inch vertical, I started out by about 7 inchs under the rim, and now I'm basically dunking: it's great!!

Jacob W. First, I'd like to thank you for your products and videos. It really seems like you're out to help people in their ever ongoing struggle to find gains. I appreciate that you are giving it your all.

Producing new videos, being so available to your customers, and having a general helping attitude, is all really extra to what you've already provided. And that is something no other jump program comes close to. I can't wait to see you on the inside and to get to know you in the forums and through our one on one coaching. I really hope you take me up on my challenge. You can defy your critics, smash the naysayers and get what you want out of your career. What I teach is your ticket.

Punch that ticket right now and let's do it together. Guess what the 1 career killer is? You probably never would have guessed. So why does it kill so many careers? It's not because of injuries or anything like that, it's because gravity keeps you small and stationary, it keeps you slow, it keeps you on the ground, it keeps you from getting noticed, it keeps you from achieving your potential.

Some people say that humans can't defy gravity. I beg to differ. Have you ever seen someone keep climbing in the air when everyone else is on the way down? That's defying gravity and you can do it too. Start today risk free. My coaching load is pretty stiff. So the price could change whenever that happens. Just so you're aware. Get it right now. Don't sit around and waste time. Your dreams are waiting for you.

Get out there and get those 10" of pure domination. I bet that you'll gain inches overnight just by me teaching you the proper techniques. Don't believe me? Check out Omer First I want to say congratulations on this very successful program and because of you, I gained around 5 inches literally over night because of your tips on form.

I'm only around 5'7" and 16 years old and now I can touch the rim because of your helpful advice and I haven't even started the workout component yet!

These bonuses cost me tons of time and money to put together. The truth is though, I really love interacting with my students in the forum and through personal coaching. Like I said, this really is a dream come true to be helping you achieve your dreams. If you stamp your frequent flyer card today, I'll pull out the stops for you.

Each of these could easily be sold as their own products. You get coaching from me. I don't leave you to figure all this stuff out on your own, even though you probably could.
