How would you like to get a higher vertical jump simply by training an important part of your body that so many athletes either ignore or forget about?

I know a lot of athletes that think in order to increase vertical jump ability with get max vertical review they simply need to build stronger legs.

Stronger legs = stronger base to launch from right? Wrong… well, partly right.

Stronger legs are an important part of the jumping action but there is a great emphasis on the mid section or ‘core’ as it is often known.

If you have a weak core, your jumping ability (and sporting ability) will be lessened. You can increase your jumping and sprinting ability HUGELY simply by strengthening your core muscles.

When increasing your vertical leap using get max vertical plyometric training it is overwhelming to see the truck load of information that is available and it is the simple techniques that can sometimes give you the edge over your competitors (that are too bogged down in information that they forget to apply the principles and actually train).

You want to know the most effective get max vertical plyometric training methods I have found to increase core strength right? Well I will give it to you straight. That is what you want, correct?

Well here are the workouts I use to increase core strength and vertical jump:

1. Plank
2. Crunches
3. Leg Raises

How to do the exercises for maximum vertical gains:

Plank (3 sets x 1 minute)

Get down into a push up position but instead of resting on your palms, rest on your forearms. The idea is to hover in that position for as long as you can with your core switched on to hold good form. If you can’t make 1 minute or that is not long enough just go for as long as absolutely possible.

Crunches (3 sets x 20 reps)

Lay on your back on the floor. With your hands across your chest, raise your torso off the ground by contracting your core muscles. Make sure you do not use your neck to move forward. Your body should remain straight and the forward movement comes from your core.

Leg Raises (3 sets x 12 reps)

This get max vertical exercise will really get your core ripped and increase your vertical jump to new heights. For this exercise we want to train for explosiveness. Start on a leg raise machine in a hanging position. Keeping your legs straight, explode your legs forward (until parallel to floor) as fast as you can by switching o n your core then slowly return to the starting position in a controlled movement.

It should be 1 second to raise your legs and then 3 to lower them back down.

To make it easier you can bend your knees or to make it even harder and get more out of it, try hanging from a chin up bar and completing the same movement.
