Plyometrics

In this article I am going to explain the top plyometric exercises to slam dunk. In vertical jumping and slam dunking, the main thing you should focus your energies on increasing is your muscular power. Plyometrics are exercises designed to increase this muscular power, which is the force your muscles exert in a short burst of time. These sort of exercises can be extremely effective in increasing your vertical to slam dunk because it increases the explosiveness of your muscles. The following plyometric exercises are designed to increase your muscular power.

On Box Jumps

Find a box, chair, or anything that you can jump on top of. Stand in front of the object and explode up onto it - step off and repeat. There are a few ways you can go about doing this exercise. You can try to have a shorter object and try and jump onto it with as little bend in your knees as possible or you can have a higher object that requires that you really give it your all to jump onto it by bending your knees. Play around with what an optimal height would be for your object. Shoot for about 3-8 reps per set for this exercise.

Paused Jump Squat

Put about 10% - 15% of your max squat on a barbell and load it on your shoulders as if you were going to be doing a squat. Perform a squat just as you normally would until your thighs are about parallel with the ground. Explode upward and jump as high as you can. This is more of an advanced exercise so be careful when doing this. Shoot for about 5-10 reps per set for this exercise.

Important Things To Note:

These are just one of the many plyometric exercises I personally used to slam dunk. I used on box jumps and paused jump squats in relation with numerous other key exercises. Collectively, these various exercises helped me to increase my vertical. My training was effective because the plyometric exercises I used were tailored to my specific body type which helped me to make my gains greater and faster. Although the two exercises explained above can be powerful in your training, certain body types will benefit more from these and other body types will benefit less.
