Secrets To 40 inch Vertical Jump
Now I am sure that a lot of us have this fantasy of getting our vertical jump as high as up to 40 inch. Well, let me dispel a fact that, not all of us are able to do that.
A lot has to come from your natural athletic ability as well as the lifestyle and diet that you eat. Then again, while a 40 inch vertical may not be for everyone, it is still a relief to know that you can get close or in fact, most people have the potential of getting vertical jump of up to 30 inches.
Well, fact is, there are certain major muscle groups that constitutes to a vertical jump, ie, your glutes, your hamstring, your quads, your calfs, your form and various other small muscle groups that are connected.
The secret to maximizing your vertical jump is to train each and every single muscles that is required for a jump to the best of their ability.
Well, you may say this is a no brainer but nobody, or rather, no "dunkers" wannbe actually does that. Most of them just simply concentrate on 1 or 2 major muscle groups, ie, the quads and calf and neglecting the rest of the muscle that are required for a jump.
If the quads and calf makes up about 60% of your full vertical potential, don't you think by adding strength and quickness to your hamstring, your swing, your ankles are going to give you that extra 5 - 6 inches boost in your verticals ?
In order to achieve your highest vertical potential, you will need to target on all muscles groups related to your jump... and that is important especially during your jump workouts and jump trainings.
No muscles or no stones should be left unturn if you were to achieve your maximum jump potential and sometimes, it might even get you your 40 inch vertical jump.
