How To Jump Higher For Cheerleading, Both Men And Women Will Benefit From A Good Jump Program By : Jacob W. Hiller The Two Most Important Variables of An Effective Jump Program I hope you are familiar with the two principal variables of a vertical jump program: strength and quickness. That's what's going to make you explode. I'll give you an example. Let's say you were a sprinter, and you ran the hundred meter dash, would you train sprinting by running the mile or by running two miles? No, because that would train your endurance. It's a completely different type of muscle, and that's not the muscle you want to be training. And as long as you continue to train your jumping endurance, you are not going to maximize your jumping potential. Quick Muscle Gain - How To Maximize Your Workout With Protein By : Jacob W. Hiller What I recommend for quick muscle gain: You get a protein (and it's best to have a whey protein, the best type is a whey protein isolate-a whey isolate), and the best time to drink your protein is in between fifteen and forty-five minutes after your workout-as soon as possible after your workout. And that's because your muscles are so drained of energy, that they need not only the carbs and the energy to get back in the strength, but also they need the protein, the amino acids to start building and repairing the muscles so that your workouts actually count towards strengthening those muscles. Increase Jumping Ability Through Diet - A Vertical Jump Trainer's Personal Perspective By : Jacob W. Hiller Vertical jump diet is a make-or-break kind of deal for getting the results you want. Now, you don't need to get faddy with the diet, you don't need to get overzealous about having this crazy diet -a diet is really one of the hardest things to keep with your workout. But it's very, very important. Let me give you an example. Vertical Jump Programs - Two Essential Aspects That Must Be Focused On By : Jacob W. Hiller I'm going to go over two necessary but often forgotten aspects in a vertical training program. You need to focus on these in order to obtain the maximum explosion that your body has. The first is fuel. You need fuel to contract your muscles properly. You need carbs and energy and denizen triphosphate in order to have the requisite force in your work out. You also need the right proteins, amino acids, carbs and calories in order to build the muscles properly. Vertical Workouts - How To Avoid Groin Pain By : Jacob W. Hiller Groin pain is the worst and you are going to want to do some tweaking and additions if you're going to put this problem in the can. If you want to recover from this quickly, then LEAVE IT ALONE! It's most likely not serious; maybe a small strain or tear. Don't stretch it. This is the mistake that most people make because stretching the affected area just prolongs the pain and worsens the condition. Putting ice on it, massaging it, resting, and elevating your legs will help you recover faster than stretching it will. Think RICE: Rest Ice Compression Elevation As soon as you can exercise without any discomfort, here are a few tweaks you should make. When Should I Start Doing Plyometrics? By : Jacob W. Hiller Many vertical jump programs go wrong because they think the focus should only be strength when starting to train the vertical. While this can lead to improvement, it WILL NOT lead to the fastest improvements possible. You still want to increase or at least maintain the contraction speed you can already do. You can do this by combining a strength focus with agility and plyometrics. But wait! Have you heard from every "expert" that you have to squat 1.5 times your weight to even do plyometrics? This is not true. Your strength levels might dictate the intensity of plyometrics you might be able to perform, most (if not all) athletes at any strength level can profit from some type of plyometric training.
