Isometrics and Vertical Jump Training

verthome — Tue, 16 Oct 2007 23:37:50 +0000

A number of vertical jump training programs recommend using isometrics as a means of improving your jump. On the surface this doesn’t seem to make much sense. After all isometrics are contractions are static i.e involving no movement, where as a vertical jump is a series of contractions that require a lot of movement. So can isometrics really be of benefit to an aspiring high flying athlete?

verthome — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 04:35:05 +0000

We normally don’t train with machines preferring to stick with free weights, but there is one major exception we have to this rule. Due to a few unique quirks, we, against our better nature, absolutely love the Powertec leverage squat machine. The design of this machine provides a number of vertical jump specific advantages over regular barbell squats that have given us some trluy eye opening results. To find out what these vertical jump related benefits are and how it might help your improve your gains you can read our article at:
