Two Common Mistakes Athletes Make In Vertical Jump Training

Not training for optimal performance. That means train at high intensity. Optimal performance is high intensity, so training at low intensity means that you are not training for optimal intensity. Understanding that alone will begin to help you make serious improvements. Treat each repetition of an exercise like an isolated event. Training with muscle fatigue (or high reps) is going to train you at lower performance levels. Correct training is counterintuitive. You can’t train for endurance when you need to jump higher. What it comes down to is you’ve got to work smart and hard, not just hard. Not respecting nutrition. Strength gains don’t happen in the weight room. Strength gains can only take place if you have a proper nutrient and energy profile in your body. If you changed nothing but your nutrition and kept your current program, you would be astounded at the type of results you can achieve. A good vertical program will provide a nutrition schedule that is easy to follow and sustainable.
