Understand that your muscles do have a limit; but that you can maximize your potential as you properly train, condition, and push yourself. \nFocus on building your calf muscles and quad muscles in your legs. These are the primary jumping muscles. \nStart small. When you choose a workout and get started, one of the most common problems is to overdo your first workout and you'll hardly be able to walk the next three days. Start small, and work your way up. It is much better in the long run. \nExercise during normal activities. You don't have to make a big deal of it. focus on using those muscles as much as possible during everyday life. Walk with a toe-heel style, instead of flat-footed. You'll notice a huge difference right away. \nDo exercises to improve jumping:\n\nMini hops: jump a little off the ground, over and over without hopping. Jump rope is great for this. \nSquats - these help to stretch and strengthen at the same time. \nCalf raises - these are a major work out. They don't seem too hard, but if done thoroughly, they can make you unable to walk for a few days. Start with just a few dozen, then as you feel capable, add more and more. It is not uncommon to do 200+ when you are in great shape. Do both feet at the same time to start, then as you are able, balance on one foot and do them with all your body weight for maximum effect. \nWalk or run on tip toes for 30 minutes. \nStand in 1 spot on tip toes for 5 minutes. \nStart stretching at least 3 times a week, working mostly on the hamstrings, quads, hip-flexors and glutes. Simply use a towel to stretch your given limb to its comfortable limit for 10 seconds, then from the same angle pull/contract against the stretch for 10 seconds, relax and go back into the stretch. You should be able to easily improve range of motion, as this type of stretch tricks the body into giving up more flexibility! Repeat this sequence again one more time at the improved range. Stretch only after your work-outs, as research indicates stretching before an event or work-out actually decreases power output. \nSuck in your stomach with a deep breath; try to imagine sucking into the spine. Hold this position for 20 seconds. repeat 4 more times. Do these 3-4 times a week to reap the performance rewards and the appearance of a slimmer waist, as the internal organs wont sag! This builds up the transverse abdominal wall. \nTry walking around on your heels without letting the ball of your foot touch the floor. This will help to strengthen the tibalis anterior (commonly referred to as dorsi-flexors). \nGet a small jogging trampoline; if not a makeshift ramp about 6ft. in length may do. Next you need a target that you jump at, like a basketball hoop. What you do is place the trampoline 1-2 strides away from the goal, run and make your last step before you plant to jump a stride off the tramp (note: you're not doing actual jumps off the mini tramp). This will overspeed your run just before the actual take-off, making your legs jump quicker as well! When done correctly, you will make a noticeably higher leap! This is what you will gain when you teach your muscles to move faster through the jump. \nLoad your body with some weight before jumping, like jumping with a medicine ball. What happens is that your body will recruit more motor units in the working muscles, allowing the work to seem much easier when you don't have the weight, because you are now using more of them! \nYou can also try the "unloading jump". Grab a pair of 10lb dumbbells (or any weight), hold them at waist level, quick step up to the rim to do a rim jump (counter movement jump); at the peak of crouch just before you would take off for the rim, drop the weights and blast off. The science behind this method is that when you load the eccentric contraction with more weight than the concentric (jump), you will be able to create more force. One set of 5-10 reps with this new drill will give instant as well as

Pylometric Exrcises can help to greatly increase the power of your kick and the height of your jump.\n\nRicochets – \n1. Mark out 15 meters with cones.\n2. Keeping your feet together, start at one cone and do small fast jumps to the end.\n3. For this exercise the emphasis should be on speed and rate of leg movement rather than height.\n4. Each 15 meters is 1 set.\n\nBounding – \n1. Mark out 12 small cones or obstacles about 3 feet apart in a straight line.\n2. Start behind the first obstacle in a semi squat position.\n3. Jump as high and far as possible over each obstacle. It's a good idea to practice first to gauge how far apart you should set the markers. Again try to minimize ground contact time.\n4. Each jump is 1 repetition.\n\nLateral Jumps – \n1. Stand alongside a bench, box or cone approximately 30cm high. \n2. Keeping your feet hip distance apart jump sideways as high over the obstacle as possible. \n3. Immediately jump back to the start position minimizing ground contact time. This counts as one repetition.\n4. Make sure you discipline yourself to jump as high as possible. \n\nSide-Jump Sprint – \n1. Place a cone 14-19 meters in front of the starting point to act as the finish line.\n2. Stand on 1 one side of a bench or obstacle, facing the starting line, with feet together.\n3. Begin by jumping sideways back and forth over the bench for 2 repetitions.\n4. On landing on the last jump, explode forward into a sprint to the finish line. \n5. Anticipate the landing and be ready to sprint forward, emphasis should be on acceleration.\n6. This counts as 1 repetition.\n\nDepth Jumps – \n1. Stand on a box, bench, or sturdy chair approximately 30-40 cm high.\n2. Step off the bench and as soon as you land explode vertically as high as you can. This counts as 1 repetition.\n3. Try to minimize ground contact time.

Soaring over a 6'6" adult may be a stretch for just about anyone, but there is one secret I learned to improving vertical leap: practice jumping in a swimming pool.  The resistance helps improve your vertical leap distance.  Add that to general weight training, and be sure to allow enough time for recovery -- up to 72 hours between strenuous weight-bearing workouts, and you will add some inches to your vertical by the end of the year.

Practice, practice, practice.\nJumping on a trampoline has improve vertical leaping.

mmmm... first: Never do anything that u know that u can do. second: the pk is not only from high heights, u can do it without a suicidal hole beetwen, just try that crazy gap when u can jump the same height at the floor. third: have fun :-)

In addition to what James said, I'd incorporate jump training.  Find (or build) something sturdy about 30" high.  Squat down, then jump on it.  Do 3 sets of 10-12 reps.  When it gets easy, increase the height.  \n\nThere is a corrolation between vertical leap and quickness.  High concentration of fast twith muscles and lower weight will result in quicker running and quicker moves, both forward/backward and laterally.

try working on your abs, this will allow you to get your legs up higher...maybe try jumping on a trampoline also. it doesnt have to be big, i have a small one and my jumps have improved a lot! also work on arm strength for the back handspring..just work hard at it! and once you get it you'll have it. just practice. trust me! :) k well i hope it helps.

Building muscle in your legs.  Squats is the best excersise to increase your vertical.  There's a Squat Technique called "Jump Sqaut"  It's basically performing the sqaut with your toes feet 45 degrees outward.  \nAbs is also a crucial part in your vertical.  Alot of people do not understand how much they use their abs when jumping. \nThe last thing I would say, is to buy a Jump Rope.  It's one of the best excersises available for increasing vert.  Just make sure you jump your peak at every jump.  \nHope this helps man.

use rockets or inclines...\n\nwhen indoors run to the largest windows, open and jump.\n\nalso when on steep embankments, run down them as fast as you can without snapping your legs off.\n\nwhen using the catapult bar strap on rockets will gain you the height you need.

Hello,\n\nI'm not sure if it can help you. But I can find some vertical jump increasing system for you.\n\nThere is one package named "Double Your Vertical Leap".\n\nhttp://tinyurl.com/y8cl68\n\nIt's not cheap. But in the website they even listed a  successful story who increased his vertical jump from 26 inches to 48 inches.\n\nI'm not good at jumping, but I hope it can help you.\n\nHope you can increase your vertical jump.

There are special shoes, with a raised platform on the toe area, that can help. They basically just keep your heels off the ground, so you have to walk around on the balls of your feet. If you can't afford them, find something about 2 inches thick, a little bigger around than your fist. Duct tape it to the bottom of your shoe, so that it is on the front part, making it so your heels will be off the ground. Walk around in these for about 6 weeks and your jump will increase dramatically.

Do power jumps. Setup a few levels that total in height 3 to 4 feet. Then in each hand hold 5 pound weights and jump on top of these levels, then step down. Repeat this for about 30 minutes. Next, go to the gym and work on your calf muscles. Using the calf machine will make your calves stronger. Don't over do it, you want to have lean muscles, not heavy. Then go the machine that works out your legs. I ts the one where you lay on your back and you lift the weights with just your legs and feet. The goal is to get explosive jumping. If you can beat a guy to the rim by jumping faster, then it doesn't matter how high he jumps.\n\nHave fun.
