Coach Dan Speaks:

Did you know that trying to touch your toes on the same side while the other leg stays up completely straight is a basketball exercise? This vertical leap training helps basketball players to get more explosive power and allows them to jump higher. It can also be known as a Romania Dead lift and it helps to strengthen the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back muscles which are important in basketball. With this type of exercise, basketball players can make their game more dynamic and enjoy the perks of increased vertical abilities during their basketball games.
