The Secrets To
Jump Higher Faster That Few People Realize
By
now you may have tried out
countless vertical leap programs or special workouts that claim they
can help you jump higher faster. You may have gotten some results, you
may not have. Regardless, there are some secrets that few people even
think of that can help drastically increase your leap.
The
first thing you want to add
to your repertoire is isometric stretching. Stretching is one of the
most overlooked pieces of working out yet it can play a tremendous
role. It has been found that stretching over the course of one month
can increase your lower body strength by 15%. You will want to stretch
after every workout of yours while focusing on the hamstrings, quads,
hip-flexors and glutes.
Next,
put more of a focus on
your inner abdominal strength. While most are well aware of the
importance of working out your rectus-abs, it is equally important you
build the transverse abdominal wall just underneath. This will
drastically improve your power movement allowing you to get better
results. You can build this muscle by sucking in your stomach and
holding the position for 20 seconds. Do this four times and continue
this process a few days a week.
When
trying to jump higher
faster, obviously you will want to focus on your legs. You are not
going to be jumping off of your arms which is why it makes sense to
build the muscle in your legs. However, you can benefit from using your
arms as well by applying a forceful arm-swing.
There
really is nothing
complicated or tricky about a forceful arm-swing. It is exactly as it
sounds; you simply swinging your arms up fast while coordinating it
with your jump. If you time it properly, the momentum from your arms
can actually account for as much as 15% more lift than you typically
get.
The
last thing that few would
ever think about when trying to increase their vertical leap is
visualizing success. Think of it like the businessman visualizing
living in Hawaii in owning his own business and then doing whatever it
takes to accomplish this. If you visualize feeling lighter, feeling
loose, and slamming the ball through the hoop, you will surprisingly
see results. It is all about believing in yourself and your
capabilities.
In
order to jump higher faster
you have to have the right mindset and work ethic. However, the secrets
listed in this article prove that it is possible to increase your
vertical leap with non-conventional methods.
