try doing a circuit work out. go from machine to machine doing max reps for 30 secs. move to the next. I'd say 5 machines like: upright row, bench, quadriceps, ab curl, and leg curl(hamstrings). rest for 30 secs and repeat 10 times. thats a pretty good high intensity full body workout in only 30 mins.
And to get faster do some plyometrics. They're exercises that you perform very quickly and explosively to build those "fast twitch" muscles.
Take a look at this link i found for ya!

Hey I have always wanted a guy that was mature and put together.. sort of like the guy you're talking about. Since he may be wanting to get settled down already because he is entering his 30's you might be tied onto this. Make sure you really want this for yourself because you are still 19 and you still have a lot of opportunities and experiences to discover before you get serious. Be sure to have a CLEAR communication on what he wants from this relationship and what you want from this relationship so that you are able to try to get this to work. Remember that he has a tremendous advantage over you. He is older and he is also a potential lover, plus he has more experience in this relationship field. Be sure that you are not being used for his private agenda. Other than that, I personally think it's fine. My friend's parents were 10 years apart and they love each other very much. Perhaps it was the age factor that kept them together (the maturity of the male). Good luck.

If you are still striving to increase you are straight and you're looking to get your hands above the rim, set Vert Shock to the check, an application that you will believe it is here https://tr.im/vusLV and give it a decide to try, you will end up taken aback of how quickly you may become an animal hopper if you prepare the proper way.
This program won't cause you to leap thousands of times since Vert Shock was made and employed by real elite level basketball players.
As it pertains right down to it, in the event that you really want to jump higher, you just found the most effective process in the world to complete so. Some other way might simply be described as a spend of time.

The two sports you want to train for vary in muscles that are going to be used. Depending on whether you're a distance or sprint track runner, your workout routines are going to differ greatly. So here are a couple of scenarios.
Basketball:
Basketball skills are most improved through repetition of skills (shooting, dribbling, game IQ, etc.) and through being more explosive and technically sound. This is a huge reason why you see guys like Paul Pierce who aren't extremely athletic be successful at the NBA level. Workout wise, I would work on using a screen and take a jump shot off the screen or going hard to the rim. This exercise will address how explosive you can be, your jumpshot, dribbling and basketball IQ. Work on coming off those screens close to the screener and explode into your shot or drive. As with most basketball drills, this is best done with a couple of teammates.
Aat an 18 inch vertical, you're in pretty good shape. Once again, it's not how high you jump, it's how quickly you jump. I've played basketball against people that have 35+ inch verticals yet were horrible rebounders and shot blockers. Improve the quickness of your jumping by doing wall jumps. Facing a wall, jump as high as you can and touch the wall. Keeping that spot in mind. continually jump for a 30 second period trying to touch that spot again immediately after landing. Though this sounds simple, it really does help with being more explosive and physically in better jumping shape.
Though there are many drills, this is one that is often not utilized enough. Lateral movement is incredibly important in basketball, both offensively and more importantly defensively. So attaching a rope between yourself and a partner, take turns moving side to side so that the rope breaks between the two of you. This is best done with velcro holding the ropes together and definitely helps in your lateral movement.
Track:
If you're a jumper in track (long jump, high jump, etc.) you want to build your sprint speed and arm drive. Work on your footwork so that you can consistantly be comfortable running full speed into your jumps. Also work on your technique of driving your arms back and then up when jumping. Though simple, it's a little thing many jumpers don't do. If you ever want to see great jumping technique, watch a volleyball players approach before they hit. They run in full stride with their arms going in motion in sync with their stride. There's a reason why volleyball players commonly have over 40 inch verticals.
If you're a runner, work on your stride. For distance running, work on a wide comfortable stride. Try to limit unnecessary arm movements. For sprinting, work on your knee drive. The more you can drive your knees the faster you will go. As with all running, you always run best when relaxed.
The list goes on and on and as you can tell most of the things I listed have nothing to do with the weightroom. I personally think lifting Monday-Friday is way too much and actually damaging to athletic ability. Work on technique and skill before working on power. Remember, it doesn't matter if you can jump over someone and get your shot off if you can't make that shot.

for speed training try wearing anckle weights and run with them. Or try and do parachut training (where its attached to you an you run while it's blown up).
Skipping, leg presses, calf raises or even just jumping up and down. jogging would also be effective along with the elipitical

Do calf raises, bench presses, and run suicides or zig-zags
