Tips to Jump Higher

I wanted to take the time to share some of my tips to jump higher. This may not seem like the most common or productive thing for most people, but when it comes to sports it is important. If you're looking to try out for a basketball team or just be able to slam dunk, than you should definitely take the time to apply the tips to jumping higher. I've personally applied these to my life and was able to add a good 8 inches to my jump. This gave me enough to dunk the ball as some white guy that is used to playing hockey. I'll show you what you need to do.

Tip One: Before you ever attempt to work on jumping higher and play any sport where you have to do fast sprinting or jumping, you should be warming them up. This is just an important thing to do. This won't exactly improve your jumping, but it will protect you from injuries and major muscle fiber tears that will prevent you from improving.

Tip Two: Explosive exercises for your calves is one of my most important tips to jump higher. You have to put the emphasis on explosive, so that means you train like that. There are many different ways of training like this, but I think standing calve raises are the best. Just remember to be slow coming down and explosive when you're going up.

Tip Three: You'll need proper nutrition to have the best repair of your calves. When you work them out explosively, you're going to need to repair the muscle tissue, so they grow back much better than before. That means having protein every 2-4hrs. It seems excessive, but it works.
