Coach Dan Speaks:

Basketball is one of the sports that can give you a great workout at the gym. To train your vertical jump, basketball backboards are perfect targets to practice your vertical legging skills. Challenge yourself with 4 sets of 4-5 max height jumps and make sure to rest between each set for 1-2 minutes. Make sure that you take your time to focus on each rep, working on jumping as high as you possibly can — this will ensure maximum success in achieving that optimal vertical leap.
