XeDa Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 What part of the leg do you want? If you wanna jump higher get leg weights***But learn how to use them***. "Jump Rope" is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XeDa Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Ya, try and get leg weights. ***But learn to use them*** Also Use don't need muscle to pack a kick. As your instructor might have told you. Imagine your kicking past your target. Then add more weight the take is off and you will jump high, kick hard, and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bretty101 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 There are many plyometric (explosive) exercises you can do to improve your jump height. But to be honest most involve jumping on and off of things and are a bit dull. I find short sprints and running up large flights of steps 1/2/3/4 steps at a time far more easier to include in a training schedule and more beneficial. The thing that has improved my jump height beyond any training method was to losing about 20lbs in body weight. Bretty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SevenStar Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 if you want to kick harder, kick a heavy bag. Also , you can wrap cables around your legs and do kicks with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolverineGuy Posted April 16, 2004 Share Posted April 16, 2004 I'm somewhat against jump squats and weighted jumps, due to the stress they put on the knees. But jumping on and off of things is about the only way to go with plyometrics. Sprinting up stairs can help somewhat, but you have to train to do whatever it isyou want to do. Lifting weights trains you to lift weights, not jump higher. You have to jump to train to jump. Wolverine1st Dan - Kalkinodo"Shut up brain, or I'll stab you with a q-tip""There is no spoon."
