If you don’t want to fall short on your jumps anymore, there are several thing that need to be included in your training in order to have good results. The next 2 drills are a good beginning or place to start your jumping exercises.

Dumbbell squat jumps are a good starting workout. They are a plyometric exercise that you need to use in order to strengthen your core, legs and hip explosion muscles. You’ll only need some dumbbells and a flat floor for this. Do not do this workout if you are just starting out or out of shape, you might hurt yourself. For this exercise, pick out a weight between 10-35 pounds. Start with your feet at shoulder width apart, and hold the dumbbells at your side. Squat and then jump upwards. You”l want to do10-15 reps per set, with 3 of those in a workout.

Another good workout is keg tosses. This exercise is straight from the world’s strongest man workout. This drill will massively increase your hip and upper body strength, and make your core stronger. Turn the keg on its side and squat down in front of it. Grab the keg by the sides and throw it as high as you can upwards. Do NOT try to catch the keg, as you will severely hurt yourself. You want to do this until you cannot throw it anymore. You will feel burnt out or worn out after this work out.

You can find these exercises and many many more inside the Jump Manual by Jacob Hiller. It’s time to get serious about your jumping height, I highly recommend you check out this program. Don’t let me sell you on the book, why not check out the Jump Manual review while you are interested in this topic. I hope you have the best of luck in your quest to jump higher!
