Programming for vertical

[Troy Kerr]

Anybody have any insight as to how to program specifically to increase one's vertical? Exercises I can think of off the top of my head include:

.

• Clean
• Back Squat
• Box Jump
• Knee Jumps
• Box Jumps
• Kettlebell swings

Anybody have any programming suggestions? I was thinking something along the lines of westsides plans?

Depth drops and jumps, bounding, repeated broad jumps across a room. Westside makes people more explosive squatters, not necessarily jumpers.

[Troy Kerr]

Yeah, i was referring more along the lines of alternating explosive days with strength days.

kelly baggett has a vertical jump guide that's supposed to have a good record.
assess yourself, then program around that. Google it.

If you do not wish to buy Kelly Baggett's Vertical Jump Bible, at least go here and read his articles.
