Rise Above The Pack Vertical Jump Program
My List
header 1: RISE ABOVE THE PACK VERTICAL JUMP PROGRAM - WITHOUT WEIGHTS This program is mainly for beginners and is meant to establish a strong strength base, it has some light jumping involved, it is recommended you have some padding on the ground to absorb shock and reducing the risk of injury.. To attain best results from the program you must follow as many of the following guidelines as possible. 1. Get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. 2. Drink at least 2 litres of water a day, if your urine is yellow you`re not drinking enough water. 3. Warm up and stretch before each training session. 4. Stretch TWICE after you`ve finished training. 5. Try to eat a piece of fruit about 2 hours before your workout. 6. Try to eat something high in carbos and protein after your workout. 7. Do all excercises with high intensity, quality over quantity. 8. Have hot cold showers after your workout, 2 min hot, 10 sec cold, repeat 3 times. 9. Do some light self massage for 5 minutes a night. 10. Don`t focus on just jumping, it`s no use being able to touch the top of the backboard if you can`t make a free throw. Now to the workouts themselves. You must do the stabiliser section everyday except your rest day. For information on how to make a balance board click here. If you are a beginner and have never done jump trainging before do the strength section 3 times a week.
