Jump Like LeBron James
Do you want to learn how to jump like Kobe Bryant? Don’t think that you can’t increase your vertical leap by 10 inches because you can.
We will look at a few exercises you can do to increase your vert more than you might think possible.
First things first you need strong legs if you want to jump high. So before you start jumping you need to be able to squat your weight 8 times in 8 seconds. If you are able to do this you will be ready to do plyometrics.
Now that you have strong enough legs you need to teach them how to jump. The first exercise is to pick something like the rim or backboard and jump to touch it. As soon as you land, spring back up and touch it again. You want to stay on the ground for as little time as possible.
A big part of how high you jump is your form and biomechanics. Your arms have a lot to do with how high you will jump.
Arms should be as straight as possible when they swing back and should come forward with force.
Your approach will be different depending on your sport, but we will talk more on that later.
