Lets face it… Not all exercises are created equal.
Some exercises will greatly improve your vertical jump, while others will REDUCE your vertical jump.
These articles will show you everything you need to know about vertical leap exercises.
You will learn about the best exercises that you need to perform in order to jump higher.
You will also learn about the inferior (yet very popular) exercises that you should avoid at all cost.
In many cases, I have included step-by-step videos that show you exactly how to perform the exercises.

hey dan, yo how do I buy the vertical jump program if im under 18
June 19th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Hey Aran. You can still purchase the program if you have access to a credit card or paypal.

Hey Dan, i think it is great that you have made this “The Top 7 Vertical Jump Exercises” Some parts i really do agree, but i dont get why upper body is important since wouldnt it weight you down more when you jump? and for Jumping you didnt explain how many sets that you need to do and how you do it. Is it like just jump upwards or bend down and jump upwards explosively.
Plz answer my questions and thank you
July 2nd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
Dan, good stuff. I was expecting to see some more plyos on here to be honest but I like the fact that you can’t neglect the core and upperbody aspect of having a good vertical. Thanks for all the technique videos too. I know I struggle with the dead lift the most but these videos really helped.

I’ve been using the jump manual for only a week and I got another 2 inches on my vertical easily
Thanks Dan

Congrats Jay! That’s great. Keep updating us on your progress!
July 6th, 2009 at 6:45 pm
why aren’t box explosions part of your list i’ve always found those to help me and also why aren’t power cleans or hang cleans part of the workout….wouldn’t you wanna do quick explosive workouts to increase your vertical since jumping is a quick and explosive movement…I’ve always known squats and deadlifts to be exercises for power not so much the quick muscles that mainly help you jump…I’m only a high school student and i don’t have a degree or anything but i know a little bit about this just because I’m interested in it so if you’d explain your theory more for me please because i like to know as much as possible about all of it
Thanks
July 7th, 2009 at 3:04 pm
Wsup Dub. I agree that box explosions and hang cleans are great vertical jump exercises. However, they didn’t make our top 7 list because they don’t produce as much “bang-for-the-buck” results as the others on the list.
July 6th, 2009 at 11:42 pm
How many are we supposed to do for each one?
July 13th, 2009 at 7:59 am
Hey. I made my own vertical leap workout which includes: lungees, squats, jumping squats, step ups, side-to-side hops, calf raises, jumps on the spot, and rim reach jumps. Before I started this workout I had no vertical leap workout history. For the first couple of weeks I had some good gains. But now I am having tiny gains every week. I need advice quickly please.
Thanks
P.S I do not want to pay for a vertical leap workout.

I made my own workout. It’s just plyometric exercises which are: lunges, squats, jumping squats, step ups, side-to-side hops, calf raises, jumps on the spot, and rim reach jumps. In the first couple of weeks I had decent gains, but after that I have very low gains. I need some advice please.
Thanks
P.S im not willing to pay for a vertical leap program
July 21st, 2009 at 5:22 pm
Hey Dan, how many repititons and sets of sqauts, pull ups, squats etc. should I do and also, what days should I rest so I don’t lead to overtraining. I REALLY want to increase my vertical.
Thanks
August 1st, 2009 at 7:42 pm
I am not old enough to lift weights so iwas wondering if there were any exercises I could do. Thanks

Im 27 yrs of age…i can barely touch the ring..Can i still improve my jumping using jump manual???or am i too old???i wanna dunk!!!!!
Samboy
August 7th, 2009 at 4:05 pm
Yep, the Jump Manual will help you even if you’re 27 years old – age doesn’t matter!
August 20th, 2009 at 5:51 pm
hey i was wondering could you please send me some exercises to help my vertical jump
September 6th, 2009 at 2:43 am
Dan, great stuff! I’m 35, and I could dunk pretty well in college, but since then I’ve broken a leg and really gotten away from the training that made me successful. I just picked up Jump Manual, and I’m really excited about the process. I hate wasting time doing exercises that won’t bring me closer to my goals. So when I see that a lot of top 7 are in that program, I feel even more determined to reach my goals. Thanks for the great info; I look forward to sharing my success with you.
September 6th, 2009 at 4:47 am
That’s great Remy! Keep me updated on your success.
November 1st, 2009 at 10:59 pm
hey dan, just started doing some of these exercises on the website. i am 16 years old and play on the school basketball team, im an average player and im a pretty good down-low/post player, hoping these exercises will help me increase my vert and help me lose some weight in the process! thanks a lot, great program!
November 2nd, 2009 at 11:24 am
Thanks Jordan! Keep me updated on your progress.
December 21st, 2009 at 5:04 pm
hey, reading these comments it seems as tho you guys are asking for exercises and some are being sent. so if possible could anyone send me some exercises to increase my vertical jump.
please and thank you
January 9th, 2010 at 1:51 am
i see that you are sending some of these guys some exercises, for a high vertical jump. I didnt make the basketball team my freshman year, and i got very disapointed, so i said that i would give it two years, to work on it. I am now great with the ball, and i am a sophmore now.
next year i really hope to make the team, and noone at school can dunk, and i would love to dunk.
If there is any way possible to send me some workouts, it would be great, thanks so much..:):)
January 29th, 2010 at 10:23 pm
Dan,
What is the right age to start adopting the weight training into the jump program?
February 4th, 2010 at 2:16 am
Hey Shane. There’s no “right age” to start lifting weights because everybody is different. Check this out to get a better understanding http://www.sptimes.com/2006/02/24/Brandontimes/When_should_a_kid_sta.shtml

February 28th, 2010 at 11:41 pm
Hey, Dan
I’m 14, and have a 30in running vert. I can nearly grab the rim. (i can touch it) Do you think you could possibly hook me up with some vert jump exercises, so i could possibly dunk in the coming year or two?
thanks so much
March 2nd, 2010 at 3:41 pm
