Strong legs and Increasing your vertical jump.

[MaksPTheTruth]

Hey whats up guys I just wanted to tell you guys that doing heavy exercises such as squats, lunges and deadlifts mixed with plyometrics really increased my vertical jump and helped me develop a stronger base. I went from touching the rim to dunking in 12 weeks. Here is a video that I made.

If only someone would just write a book teaching me how to get these results for just $17 with a money-back guarantee, dang, would that be sweet...

 

[no fat chicks]

i think you faked it and could dunk all along

 

[jrams]

Squat was high

Glad you got results though.

Squat was high

This should just be the answer to every post in S&C.

 

[Patrick F Carey]

was that a half squat or a quarter squat?

 

[oyaji poi]

Were you squatting 150lbs in that video?

 

[LatFlare]

Actually a fast half squat correlates better to vertical jump in my opinion.
I know that the lower you squat the more muscles you work, But I feel as if explosive half squats had made me see a higher increasing in my vertical jump than full squats.

That is absolutely false.

 

[LegioTitan]

Good use of "absolutely". It's underutilized.

Seems correct, I see no need to question this.
