What is the best way to increase verticle jump.
Obviously alot of it is just genetics, but are there certain lifts that help increase vertical jump.
I would think squats, but alot of powerlifters can't jump.
Pic related JJ Watt is 290 pounds and does 61 inch box jumps.
Squat
Jump squats
Box jumps
In order of importance
Im 6'2 and I can't dunk, and I would very much like to.
If squats are most important then why are powerlifters so bad at jumping usually. What seperates them from people like Bradley Martyn who have insane hops.
Do a proper fitness routine and practice jumping high.
Because powerlifters are fat fucks who aren't lean. They also don't train for it.
as long as your squats aren't grindy they should help with your vert. A lot of powerlifters can't jump because their sport doesn't require (though often it is benefitted by) explosiveness. Oly lifters can jump like maniacs though

squats and good genetics
You can't. You can get lighter but that really isn't the same thing.
It's your neurological response. It's how fast you can send a signal from your brain to your muscle. You can't train it
because powerlifters train to be fat
>you can't improve neuromuscular efficiency with resistance training
Kys dyel retard
>inb4 misinterpreted rippetoe quote
You cannot change your fiber type.
That is it.
That is what is genetic
Everything else can be trained
See what this powerlifter
Has to say on the subject
All your training is how to recruit your muscles to move mass
You can't train how fast you can explode. You can't
>your body is not mass
Wew lad
Nah you're dumb lol go to pylometrics then
>you cannot train explosivity
Then why does rippetoe prescribe power cleans?
Then what do plyometrics train?
You absolutely can train and develop explosivity.
>tfw 6'5
>tfw can't even touch rim
>then why does Rippetoe prescribe powercleans
Uh to drive up your deadlift? And it's cool as fuck
P.s. Candito stopped training explosivity and lost his ability to dunk.
P.p.s. I trained my explosivity and added a good 5 inches to my standing vertical leap
Have you never read ss?
He tells you it is to train your ability to express strength explosively
Hell all "power" training is literally explosivity training
5inches. That's nothing man, people's dicks are 5 inches. I'm talking 40inch verticals
>going from 38 inches to 43 inches is not a HUGE improvement
Kys tard
>almost half a foot
>not a significant improvement
Nigga you said it incrased your ablility to move mass. You literally proved yourself wrong with your own post
>by your logic if you can keep training vertical jumps then you can just jump to the fucking moon
Jeff pls go
Powerlifters have a lot of "torque" but not high enough intensity to high jump.
Did i say diminishing returns dont exist?
Or did i say you can train and develop explosivity? I felt like i said the latter, not the former
>hurr you cant just add weight to your squat. By that logic you just keep adding 5lbs until you can squat the weight of the moon
That is how retarded you sound
highbar squats
weightlifters can jump very high
for reference this guy squats 275kg
youtube.com
>implying you can train and improve squat strength
If you don't squat 3pl8 your first day, you are a geneticlet and not gonna make it
powerlifters squat lowbar, thats why they cant jump
>he sounds adding lbs to your squat will increase a vertical jump
Weeew...boi
>increasing the force your legs produce doesn't affect jumping ability
Wew lad
Don't forget about body composition OP.. to be an athletic person you can't hold on to much fat, you have to be atleast below 12% bf.... sub 10% is ideal tho
