Aside from actual every day work outs, i plan on working on my vertical jump. I am 5'5" and am probably a foot away from dunking on a 10 foot basketball hoop. So since my dream of joining the NBA is pretty much crushed, i am going to dunk instead. I believe it is possible since i have heard of plenty of people who are only a few inches taller than me dunking. I am not going to ignore my every day work outs with just jump exercises but instead i am going to alternate. I think Monday, Wednesday and Friday would be good for my jump exercises since my program requires 3 days a week. Then on Tuesday, Thursday and possibly Saturdays i will continue my push ups, pull ups, and situps. So i started today with my jump training and i have to say that my legs are sore! At first i did some random training just by myself such as jumping on this wall that is about waist high on me. 12 of those and i was good. Then i did some jump roping. For the actual training i downloaded the "Vertical Jump Bible" and plan on following that regimen. Since i am a beginner, the work out for this week consisted of:
Ankle Jumps 2x50
4-Star Drill 2x5
Alternating Lunges 2x20 (per leg)
Jump Squat 2x20
Slalom Jumps 2x50
Lunge Jumps 2x10 (per leg)
Low Squat Ankle Jump 2x30
It has been a long time since a work out left me completely dead and this is the one to do it to me. One day ill be like this guy:
Don't give up man! I'm 5'10" and I need an inch to dunk, also doing exercises that are aimed to raise your jumping abilities. I can't stop thinking about the day I dunk over some punk fool :D
