How To Jump Higher & Increasing Vertical Jump

Tip #1: Visualize.

Try this trick for instant vertical jump increases. Test your jump by seeing how high on the backboard you get. Now close your eyes and vividly

Imagine yourself exploding upwards to a goal you have.

Next, imagine all the muscles in your legs getting stronger & bigger. Then you should focus on feeling lighter, loose & springy. Think about it for a moment.

Finally repeat this out-loud or in your head "I feel myself getting more powerful & much lighter". Now you’re ready to try that jump again. Everyone I've

taught this method so far has experienced an immediate gain no less than 2 inches & some as much as 5 inches!

Tip #2: Forceful Arm-Swing.

This is a commonly neglected jump factor that can account for 15% more lift. Try this, next jump you go up for I want you to deliberately concentrate on swinging your arms up fast, timing it with the jump. See what happens!

Tip #3: Flexibility.

Start stretching at least 3x a week.

One final thought here, that is stretch only after your work-outs as research indicates stretching before an event or work out actually decreases power output. Pay special attention to the hip flexors, hamstrings and glutes.

Tip #4: Inner Abdominal Strength.

Suck 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 won't sag!

One final thought on this subject is recent research in Nitric Oxide (NO) supplements seems to indicate that they speed up fast-twitch muscles and

seem to make slow-twitch fibers act more like the fast as well. This may make this the ultimate in vertical jump supplementation possibly rivaling with Creatine Monohydrate!

NO-Xplode

NO-Xplode is the world's first and only pre-workout supplement that produces immediate results in energy, size, strength, pumps, performance, mental focus, and training intensity.

We all know what the world cup is and we all have our favorites to win the FIFA tournament in 2010, but I'm willing to bet you don't know the storied history behind the actual cup and how it came about (and no, for the Americans reading, this is not another case like the Stanley Cup where it started out as a small cup and ended up being a cereal bowl, well not quite anyway.).
