Best way to increase my vertical jump, for basketball?

Hello!





I've heard that some weight belt, or special boots called Jump Shoes would help me out.





I am over 6 feet, but under 6 foot 1.





Please help me out here, as my current jump is, virtually pathetic!





Thanks in advance,





Panarchy

Reply:calve muscle workout. and the foot weights + belt weights help alot too. When i was in high school i had alot of trouble trying to reach the top of the volleyball net. Being 5'8 that doesn't help either. So i tried the foot weights. 2kgs on each leg and my legs cramped all the time. the first week was a nightmare, people laughed at me all the time coz it seemed like a lost cause. So i started running more in the mornings to improve my fitness (with the weights of course) and to get used to having that much weight on my feet. I promised myself to do it for 6 weeks and my aim was to touch the bottom of the backboard at home consistently and repetitively. It was a nightmare to begin with. But once i started touching the board then i knew i was getting better. Now i spike pretty well and i control the ball alot better at the net height. Plus i can touch the basketball ring now. Thats an effort for a guy my size.
