Help Getting Stronger

Also I'm looking into a new system of training I believe to be ideal for basketball and boxing.

I've got a complete jump improving workout for 3x a week, defently works as I was able to dunk the ball at 5"11. Will search for it mate and post it here if I can find it for you, you will notice results within two weeks easy.

That would be cool. I can dunk off and on but a couple inches would be nice. My biggest problem is palming the ball.

Thank you all.

It improved my leap by over 6 inches in six weeks so you'll be getting a lot more height . You'd be able to do two handers then. Still looking mate know I hve somewhere in my room.

Ok here it is, follow this program and you will be on your way, some people have claimed to increase there jump by over 10 inches with this in two months... Do this twice a week and no more as injuries may result.

Skip the length of a bball court 6 times

Jump Rope for 10 mins

Keep legs straight and jump 75 time (3 sets), increase the number of jumps by 50 each week.

Sit up against the wall and use arms to lift your bottom off the floor (try to use legs, you should be able to), hold for 1 min (3 sets). Increase by 10 seconds a week. (your back is firm against the wall, legs out 90 degrees to wall and bent at knees at 90 degrees again try not to use arms as that's just cheating yourself)

Do calf raisers, first do one leg, then the other leg, then back to the first and then second leg. Next do two legged calf raisers. All that is one set, do 25 a leg and 50 for both. Do 3 sets and increase by 5 a week.

Jump on the spot as high as possible (land and jump straight away), do 50 then raise it by 25 each week. Do 3-5 sets.

End of program, do it twice a week with as much break as possible and don't do too much leg work on the day following and the first couple of weeks you are going to be sore. However that goes and you will have hops like never before. Enjoy buddy

OK cool, thank you. One question though, keep your legs straight and jump? Does that mean to just jump flatfooted? And not to bend your knees? That's pretty hard and gets me very little lift but I can see how it helps the calves. Also should I be bouncing or should I be resetting my feet every time? This was the easiest part of the workout for me so I'm just seeing if I'm doing it right thanks. and man, I haven't done wall sits in a long time. damn by the 3rd set my legs literally felt like spaghetti noodles.

Also I've been suggested whey protein before I might take a trip to GNC to grab some.

A nice one, get a fit ball put it behind you against a wall the centre of your back near the bottom of your back. Put your feet 9ins in front of you with your toes on a bit of 3x2 wood so the heels are lower than the toes by 2ins. Now drop the knees an inch every 10 secs until you reach the sitting position then come up using the same technique 5 times. The 3x2 is important it protects your cruciats its a nice one . Or use a skate board instead of the Ball.

Yeah sort of like skipping you want your calves doing all the work here in both absorbing and powering your jump. Let us know how it's going for you, I think I might get this started again
