what helps you to jump higher more?

Question

your calves or your thighs and wats good workouts for yout thighs and good work outs for you calves sorry for the misspelling

Answer 1

squats. it helps with your explosion. also, work on the gastrocnemius, and the even more powerful soleus muscle of the calves.

Answer 2

The calves for sure! Do calf raises as well as "explosive" exercises like beding down and jumping up with and without some weight.You can even do explosive calf raises.Just jump when your calves while you are doing the raises.

Answer 3

calves if you are a one legged jumper. quads if you are a 2 leg jumper....

buy strength shoes. do the exercises for 4 months, you will be dunking. if you are in shape. later

Answer 4

depends what kind of jumper u are...if u tend to jump off one leg, it means u are a springy jumper, so quads and hips matter a lot, and because naturally u have a lot of spring, focus on explosive jump training, dont try to build muscle with weights because it only slows u down. if u tend to jump off two legs, it means u are a two leg jumper who uses pure MUSCLE power. that means u got to do a lot of SQAUTS and OlYMPIC LIFTS to maximaze ur jumping. good luck

Answer 5

both do but mostly your calves because they are what helps u jump off ur toes. calf raises, jumpin exercises, strength shoes

Answer 6

this is what i do:
get loose
run a little
jump rope
jump and touch the rim with your right hand 10X
left hand 10X
both hands 20X
it works too. i am 6ft 2 white freshman and im already dunking over people

Answer 7

Don't do a lot of weight lifting. more muscle won't help you jump. Do a lot of jumping in place. Power lifting might help. Just one or 2 reps.

Answer 8

calf hyperextensions stand on a cinder block and push your toes and balls of your feet so you go up then down. should feel pain in calfs after 20 or so. Go slow and dont bounce. give it time
