Hey Mr. Tim, it’s Tristyn from Yulee High School, the freshman. Are you going to put up that video of me jumping?
Hey Tim,
I’ve been doing a vertical jump program called “Vertical Jump Bible” to increase my vert and speed. Have you heard of it? do you think its good?
do you have any other suggestions?
Abe, a lot of vertical jump programs are gimmicks. However, this particular product is legit. It takes a holistic approach and talks about things
other than plyometrics to increase vertical jump. My other suggestion would be to find a quality Olympic lifting coach and spend a few sessions
learning the Olympic lifts. The sooner you get your technique down there, the sooner you can add load to the bar, and the sooner you develop
the capacity to get up. Shoot me an e-mail (morrillperformance@gmail.com), let me know where you are located and i’ll see if I can recommend
a good Olympic lifts coach. Also, SSPPTV 5 and Increase Your Vertical Video..
Do you have any advice for me about starting quick out of the starting blocks? I am looking to improve my 100 and 200 times
Andrew, I would chat with a track coach about this, however, from my experience coaching sprinters I can say that the blocking motion with the arms (i.e. big open reach with the palm down) accompanied with a few strong acceleration steps is key. How to train this? Play with the blocks til you find the perfect setting for you, then do 3 sets of 3 starts (10 yards) working to groove the perfect block/ first steps. Initial acceleration is about putting force into the ground, force is developed via strength training, expressing it rapidly is developed via plyometric and power training. Hope this helps!
