Exercises To Make Your Vertical Higher
If you seriously want to increase you vertical jumping power, there are several thing that need to be included in your training in order to have good results. The next 2 drills that I will explain next are a good beginning place to start your work out to add a few inches to your vertical.
Dumbbell Squat Jumps are a great beginning workout. They are a plyometric exercise that you need to use in order to strengthen your core, legs and hip explosion muscles. The only things required for this exercise are dumbbells and a strong, flat floor. Don't try this exercise if you are a beginner or have not worked out much before. Use whatever weights are comfortable for you on this exercise. Start with your feet at shoulder width apart, and hold the dumbbells at your side. Squat and then jump upwards. You'll want to do about 10-15 reps per set, and about 2-3 sets in a session.
Another great workout for you to try is keg tosses. This exercise is straight from the world's strongest man workout. This drill will increase your explosive hip and upper-body power and develop your core muscles. Lay the empty beer keg on its side, and squat down in front of it. Grab the keg by the sides and throw it as high as you can upwards. Do Not try to catch the keg. You want to do this exercise till you cannot anymore. You will feel extremely worn out after this exercise.

Don't let me sell you on the book, read the Jump Manual Review while you are serious about this topic. I hope you have the best of luck in your quest to jump higher!
