It’s time to build the muscles of your legs you’ve been neglecting! No more hiding 🚀🔥

4 sets of 8 left right jumps

SOUND UP to listen to detailed directions!

Start out with 1 arm to reach in the air. Do 4 reps with your right arm and 4 reps with your left arm. Week 2 you can do set 3 and 4 with both arms.

This is a staple exercise to jump higher. This is the closest exercise to dunking without actually dunking. You can go in an open space or somewhere with a high ceiling. If possible use the rim! Grab the rim every time or if you can’t do that aim for the backboard or net!The goal is to Jump as HIGH AS POSSIBLE!

Right Left Plant Rim Touches

4 sets 8 of each leg 

SOUND UP for detailed directions!

Start out with 1 arm to reach in the air. Remember to always use your opposite arm. Week 2 you can do set 3 and 4 with both arms. Your first 2 sets will still be with one arm.

This exercise is extremely effective to create power into your jump. This 2 step approach is called the penultimate step. This where you will turn your horizontal speed into vertical energy! From running into jumping no different than a plane building up speed for takeoff! Find open space or use something high in the air to aim to touch. If possible use a basketball rim! Aim for the backboard or net if you cannot reach the rim.The goal is to Jump as HIGH AS POSSIBLE!

1 Leg Rim Touches

3 sets of 12. 1-2 minute rest in between each set

Make sure your feet are shoulders width apart. Squat down 90 degrees (half way down) slightly on the balls of your feet.  Place both of your hands on your waist of have them locked together in front of your chest. Explode up out of the squat position jumping as high as possible. As soon as you land go right back into jumping repeatedly until you reach 8 reps. Take a 1-2
minute break between each set.

This exercise is great to teach your legs how to fire properly on their own without any arm swing. This will help reinforce proper mechanics and posture so when the arm swing is added it should almost feel like you’re cheating!

Your goal with these is to go fast. Contrary to popular belief people think fast calf raises don’t have a place in training but they most definitely do. There are slow calf raises in this program as well. This exercise is training your calf muscles and achilles to have a strong stretch shortening cycle. This is exactly what you do when you jump. You have generate energy fast and create force production within a very short amount of time. Every exercise has a time and place! Feel the burn and Let’s fly 🔥
