3 Exercises To INCREASE YOUR VERTICAL Pt.2 | JUMP HIGHER | The Lost BreedCoaching notes
Step off an elevated platform approximately one foot tall. As soon as both feet make contact with the floor, immediately rebound and explode upward for maximum vertical height.
Key points
- Step cleanly off the platform without jumping upward
- Minimize ground contact time upon touchdown
- Explode vertically with maximal intent immediately upon impact
Common mistakes
Jumping off the platform instead of stepping down, or collapsing into a deep squat that prolongs ground contact time.
