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.
"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.

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

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

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life 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.
