The 6 Steps to Improving Form to Jump Higher

1. When you get in the gym, make sure you’re warm, that your muscles are elastic. Make sure that you’re stretching them and all the inverse muscles. So if you’re on your quads, you need to make sure and stretch your hams, and vice versa. And once that’s done…

2.  Eliminate any mental blocks.

3.  Exaggerate your last step

4.  Poise your body for explosion.

5. Get your arms and your lower back and everything into the jump—point your toes towards your knees so that you can take advantage of a full range of motion.

6. One final thing you want to do is to transfer any forward momentum directly upward. Because you’ll notice the upward momentum is being completely stopped, and then you’re using your strength to push you forward. So if you have a lot of forward momentum developed, you want to see if you can transfer that successfully upward instead of stopping it and having to kind of re-charge your momentum.
