Hey, I wanna increase my jump just a few more inches, right now im at about 37inch running vert off 2 legs.

My height is about 5'10ish with 7'3 reach.

Ive never properly weight trained before like squated. I am just wondering if you think I should start, or maybe do something else. In the past ive done some plyos and random bodyweight exercises but nothing much because I didn't have access to a gym.

Thanks 

hey man welcome to the forum.. that's a pretty impressive RVJ to start with without any weight training. Quick answer, strength training will help you improve your vert/running/speed vert etc. Long answer, well, check this thread out:

That'll allow me to get a better idea of what you're capable of, how your diet is, when you sleep, what kind of injuries you've had etc.. it's easy to just say "do x, y & z" but it's less effective. Most likely i'd advise you to start with the intro block article I wrote on this site, but who knows, based on what you would fill out in that 'questionnaire', i might not So if you're interested in journaling your training, fill that out and drop it in the journal section.

Champion so far.

x2..x2..x2

Saw him live last year at Wizards...kid is the real deal. Those passes are just too crisp for words. The ones at 1:23 and 1:29 are dirty.

sick!

ya i love his game, his crossover is insane too.

4 October 2010

Soreness: quads 3/5 , glutes 2/5 , hamstrings 1/5 , calves 0
Injuries/aches : none

Plyos session ( !!! )

- Dynamic warmup 10'

-4x10sec bilateral line hops ( 2 left-right / 2 back-forth )

-3x10 MR tuck jumps

-2x5 27'' depth drops

-2x5 18'' depth jumps

how'd you feel on this? how was the FA (force absorption) on the landings?

pc

MR tuck jumps were very bouncy , yet i felt some stress at shins.
Depth drops were nice , good FA , not too noisy , sticking the landing @ 1/4 squat.
DJs were the best part , bouncy , no stress and getting good height.
Was a nice introductory plyo session , gotta keep at it.

whoa nice!

definitely good introductory session..
