Have you dreamed of jumping higher? Well dream no more because with the current jumping programs available you can teach yourself how to jump at least 8 inches higher. All you need is proper training.
The keyword here is proper, this means that you have to have the right type of training program that will produce results. You need both speed and strength to produce power. The speed comes from what are known as plyometric exercises.
Now the speed will come from doing plyometrics. But this does not mean you can put the strength part aside. You have to have great leg strength before you start a jumping program.
You might be wondering how much leg strength you need. Well there are some people that say you need to be squatting over 2 times your own body weight. I disagree with that statement because you can great results if you are only squatting a little over your own body weight.
Don't think that you can just start squatting tons of weight and then you will be able to jump really high. How many bodybuilders do you see jumping really high? Exactly none because they don't do jumping exercises along with the strength building so their muscles are slow.
It's up to you how quickly you will see results. If you are willing to train hard you can get great results. But remember not to overdo it. You need to train smarter and not harder.
Don't ever do leg strengthening workouts on the same day that you do plyometrics. You need to train them separately and allow rest.
Jumping exercises are only to be done in 2 month spurts and only about 2 times in a year. So don't think you can do them all year long.
