The 3 Biggest Vertical Jump Training Mistakes

Vertical Jump Training Exposed

Have you been working your tail off in the gym trying to increase your vertical but not getting the results you are looking for? Are you wasting hours and hours of sweat and hard work while others continue to out jump you on the court?

Well, then thank your lucky stars that this report fell into your hands because I am about to expose the 3 biggest mistakes you are making with your training and how you can finally turn things around.

Let’s jump right into it:

Mistake #1: You Are Not Training All the Muscles Involved In Jumping

When most athletes hit the gym to work on their vertical they focus their training on the big muscles that are responsible for jumping. They work their calves, hamstrings and quads and then stop there. While just working those muscles will help to increase your vertical, it will only give you a fraction of the results that are possible.

What you should be doing is also targeting the smaller muscles involved in jumping and some muscles that you never thought of. When you start targeting these other muscles that is when your results start to increase at a rapid pace. You can break through that plateau you have been stuck at with your training and take your vertical to the next level.

You MUST be training all the muscles involved with jumping or your results will always be subpar.

Mistake #2: You Are Training Your Muscles Incorrectly

This mistake is extremely detrimental to your training. Many athletes will train by doing high repetitions of exercises but this is the completely wrong thinking. When you do high reps of any exercise what you are doing is training your muscle endurance. But we do not want muscle endurance...we want explosion. We want to be able to rise up quickly and high. We do not want to be able to continually jump for 5 minutes straight.

Let me explain this is a different way. Does a sprinter train by running 10 miles every day? Absolutely not! They train by running short sprints. Does a long distance runner train by running 100 meter sprints? Nope, they train by running long distances. This is because a sprinter wants explosive muscles that can help them run fast and quick and a long distance runner wants muscle endurance so they can run a marathon.

As an athlete looking to increase your vertical you must be training your muscles to be explosive and you do not do this by doing a ton of reps of any exercise. You need to train your fast twitch fibers by doing lower reps and explosive movements.

You must train your muscle explosion and fast twitch fibers to be able to jump higher

Mistake #3: You Are Only Focusing On One Type of Training

There are 3 main ways to train to increase your vertical and that is by doing plyometric exercises, by doing jumping exercises and by weight lifting. All three of these methods are effective, BUT if you are only focusing on one of these methods you are limiting your results.

When you just do one type of training, like plyometrics, you will see results. But those results will only be a fraction of what you are capable of. This is because they train your muscles in a certain way and after a while your muscles will reach a plateau and your results will sputter.

What you need to be doing is incorporating all 3 types of training into one workout. By doing this you get the benefit that each training method offers and your results will continue to increase.

Does a basketball player just practice free throws? Absolutely not. Being a great free throw shooter will allow you to score points but not nearly as many points as you could score if you also worked on your ball handling and jump shot. You need to be a great all-around player to maximize your talent.

The same goes for training your vertical. You need to train your vertical in multiple ways. One training method will get you results but not nearly the results you could have achieved if you used all training methods together.

Never limit yourself to just one training method.

So there you have it, the 3 biggest mistakes athletes make when training their vertical. I can almost guarantee that every athlete is making at least 1 of these mistakes in their training.

Selecting The Right Basketball Training Program

A basketball training program is a must have for any aspiring player. A good training program will layout all of your training in a coordinated way. Without this layout, you are just taking it day to day. The day to day method will never ensure that you are hitting all the training aspects you need.

A basketball training program will give you a path to follow and a historic reference to look back on. You need both of these to make sure your training is actually leading to success. If you spend two months training and aren't seeing results, you need to be able to look back at exactly what you did. Now you can make changes. Without knowing what you did, you won’t know what failed.

The other huge advantage to a basketball training program is that when your workouts are mapped out it makes it a lot harder to slack off. You can look at your week and know exactly what you are going to do. Without this structure it's too easy to make spur of the moment changes or put off a workout.

Having a basketball training program is important.  Having the right training program is key.  You can waste precious time and effort on the wrong training program.

That being said, whether you're a player, coach or parent, here are some guidelines you can follow to make sure you select a great training program...

Basketball Dribbling Drills - Top Factor to Scoring BIG Points!

Determining a basketball player's overall "offensive worth" is something I do often as a coach. I have to have some way to scout a player and figure out what their offensive potential is. Of course I look at stats, FG%, 3PT%, PPG, FT%, etc. These are definitely important but they're often misinterpreted.

You need to look at more than just those stats, you need to look at how those stats were achieved. What made the stats what they are?

The number one thing that contributes to those stats being impressive is ball handling and your handles.

All those stats come from first creating the opportunity, and 80% of the time that was through ball handling and dribble moves.

So when  players ask me how to see big increases in their offensive stats, I tell them "yeah your shot is important, but you'll never have the opportunity to get a good shot off if you don’t have the handles to create the shots".
