Does anybody know of a good, not-too-expensive way to increase one's vertical? I was looking at Air Alert, but I hear it's bad for your knees. Any suggestions?

just practice

12/25/2007 3:57:11 PM

at this point in life do you really need to worry about your vertical leap?

12/25/2007 3:59:31 PM

i bet it's one of those useless $19.95 products

12/25/2007 4:00:39 PM

explosive squatting will work.

12/25/2007 4:15:55 PM

^ I was going to suggest squats as well.

Yo, ask "The Jimmy" what he did.

pick a reasonable spot on a wall at the gym or court and jump to touch it 20-25 times in a row. do a couple sets of those, do some squats, lunges, calf raises, etc...


i think you know the answer already, you're just too lazy to do it.... or you're not black

lose weight?

as opposed to horizontal jumps

12/25/2007 6:28:30 PM

long jump, duh ^

12/25/2007 6:29:11 PM

its still vertical

12/25/2007 6:30:10 PM

tru, but for the purposes of distinction, we refer to that as a horizontal jump.

12/25/2007 6:30:47 PM

ah

i always called that a long jump

and vertical jumps, just jumping

12/25/2007 6:31:35 PM

in the world of blacks we distinguish the two types of jumps by different names.

the long jump is obviously referring to the horizontal jump (such as a track competition)

whereas the cop jump blatantly refers to the vertical jump (such as jumping over a fence while running from a cop)
