Can You Really Jump Higher In A Week?
To jump higher in one week comes down to several things. But the main key is hard work. You really have to put in the work and you have to give your legs the old shock and awe. So what is the shock and awe? Ok I’ll explain. But first let me tell you what else you’ll need. Flexibility Once you hit your muscle fibers with the shock and awe you will really need to stretch them. This will enable them to recover and increase their elasticity. Also, this will reduce the risk to injury and minimize soreness. It’s hard to jump with tight muscles. Nutrition If you are tearing down your muscles you’ll need to repair them. Proper nutrition is a must and think of protein as your friend. You’re muscles need it to repair, build and grow. And if you want to jump higher quickly, you’ll want to definitely get some protein in your life. Head on down to your health food store and grab a whey protein supplement. Test Test where you’re starting from. I’m willing to bet if you test your starting point and then really go all out at increasing your jumping, you’ll be pleased at the results. In my case it wasn’t uncommon to add an inch to my jumping in a week. And on a good week maybe even two. Sure some weeks I didn’t have much in the way of gains. That’s natural. The Shock and Awe The shock and awe consists of a 5 day blitz where you combine weight training (always do weights first) followed by sprinting and plyometrics work. So on Day One you test your vertical first then you do weight training followed by sprints. Day Two you just do plyometrics. Then on Day Three do weights followed by sprints again. Then on Day Four you do plyometrics again. And on Day Five you do weights followed by sprints. And on the sixth day you rest. On day seven test your vertical again. I can’t stress how important stretching is. And you absolutely must warm-up before you do weights, sprints and plyometrics. Usually what happens is the first week isn’t as high in the gains category. Especially, if there is soreness. But the following weeks are much better. The type of plyometrics you do will play a big part in your gains. So stick with plyometrics designed for increasing your vertical and explosiveness. You can also work on your foot speed as well. But I think you’ll see better results if you stick with the jumping plyos. Sport specific plyos that are involving jumping are the best thing. So if you’re looking to jump higher for basketball then design a program that incorporates those types of plyos. And as far as weight training, you should go fairly light weight so that you can work on explosiveness with the weight. And time your sprints to track your progress.
