Hey guys I'm a basketball player, and I was wondering what is the best way to increase my vertical jump? I heard ankle weights could damage your knees, so I'm basically looking for exercises w/o the use of ankle weights.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.

work your calves a lot! My friend who was like the best high school basketball player in the state and was like ranked 15 nationally....told me that what he does is just plain works his calves a lot...and basically does many repetitions of jumping.
I went to my friend's dad's Basketball Boot Camp twice and he had us do the same ****...and my vertical got better. It's a lot simpler than most people think it is.
In case any of you guys wann know who the dude I'm talking about is...Ronnie Brewer-he's gonna play for the Arkansas Razorbacks....and his dad Ron Brewer played for the Trailblazers and Cavaliers

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

Yeah, Squats are definately good to do to Increase your Jump height. Think about it, when you jump do you jump with your calves or your whole lower body? Just working the calves only works the calves. And doing squats works almost the entire body AND works it in the same direction as jumping. Squats are even better for training jumping if you do Jump squats or just when you push up, do it as hard and fast as you can to work the fast twitch muscle fibers.
