I get asked a lot how do I increase my vertical or more commonly how do I get faster? Everyone is looking for that perfect exercise or drill that will elevate their performance to superstar status. The only problem is that there is no perfect exercise or drill that will do that, well maybe there is, its called consistency and hard work!
To Jump higher and run faster you have to become more powerful.
Power = Strength X Speed
The list of exercises represent the ones I have found the most success with and by no means the only ones that will aid in jumping higher or sprinter faster although if used you will see great results. They are in no particular order.
