The key to instantly increasing your vertical is learning how to jump right. All you have to do is practice your jumping form. Do not be fooled into thinking that you jump perfectly with perfect form. Almost no one does, even if it is not obvious.
Try putting form jumping into either the beginning or end of your workout routine. Either way you can tune your muscles to jump the right way when you are working out and when you are in a game. Just because the form jumps might feel weird at first does not mean they are not working. If your vertical is getting better when you are form jumping, then you should not care if it is uncomfortable at first.
Before you can start your form jumping you need to focus. Focus on using every muscle in your body to help you learn how to jump higher in basketball. If you cannot start by focusing on jumping as high as you are capable of, then you will never jump as high as you are capable of.
There are two types of vertical jump training jumps: one leg and two leg jumps.
A one legged jump is just like the name says, jumping off of one leg. You want it to be as smooth as possible and push off quickly. To practice one leg form jumping get a running start and jump off as quickly and smoothly as you can. Swing your arms to help you propel further. Once you land keep going and jump again. Make sure you always explode into the air as quickly as you can. The quicker you jump, the higher you get. Practice jumping quickly off of your foot.
A two legged jump involves a little more than a one legged jump. You want to start by running forward and then do a mini jump and land on two feet. Then, jump up as high as you can. Try not to bend your knees when you take off. Repeat this over and over to help tune your muscles to be good with this form.
Improving your jumping form is a great way to get noticeable results quickly. Just remember that repetitions and the right form are important to help you improve your vertical leap.
