One of the best ways to be better at your sport is simply to be stronger.
Almost all sports require some form of weight lifting because as the sports get more and more competitive, every athlete is looking for that edge to be the best.
I remember Dwayne Wade, Dwight Howard, and LeBron James, are incredibly strong guys.
You can tell just by looking at them.
Sure, conditioning, drills, and isometric training have their places in your training regimen, but to really become a stronger athlete, nothing beats good old fashion weight lifting.
It’s been said by many people that the six pack is the holy grail of working out and getting in shape, and you certainly need a strong core to jump higher.
For many, this can be a frustrating challenge, if you’re carrying around a pot belly, or an overhang.
All you want to do is get rid of it!
Well, there’s a lot more to abs training than exercises such as nutrition and cardio, but this article will focus on the abs training exercises that build muscle the fastest.
One common question that I keep getting from readers is whether supplements really help us jump higher.
I can’t blame you – there’s thousands of supplements in the market today claiming to work wonders, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to separate the great products from the crappy ones.
The sad truth is that most supplements are total crap, merely marketing gimmicks by large supplement companies to steal your hard-earned money.
However, there are a few supplements that really aid in vertical jump training.
The first thing to remember is that supplements are just that – SUPPLEMENTS.
They are meant to support your current diet.
Taking supplements by themselves will not help you increase your vertical jump.
You need to have a good diet already in place for supplements to have maximum effect.
Today, I want to tell you about the number 1 vertical jump training rule that almost NOBODY knows about.
The cool thing is that this rule doesn’t just apply to vert training.
It applies to EVERYTHING in life.
The rule was accidentally discovered by an Italian economist called Vilfredo Pareto when he noticed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population.
When he thought about this in more detail, he discovered that this applied to everything in life.
