Fitness Training - Upper Body Exercise Video


Many athletes mistakenly believe that the best way to increase vertical jump is by focusing their vertical exercises specifically for the legs. However, if you are not performing any exercises targeting your upper body then you are allowing your upper body to become your weakest link.

The human body operates as a unit and your body is only as strong as your weakest link. Many athletes believe wrongly that the only exercise to increase vertical targets the lower body. In fact, you can actually ruin the potential to increase your jump by purely focusing on your legs. If you want to optimize your leap to its potential then don't allow any part of your body to become your weakest link.

Here is a quick rundown of the principles that must be followed when performing upper body exercises to increase your leap:

It is important when designing an upper body vertical jump exercise that your program follows the same principles that you have created for your lower body workout.

If a leap increase is your focus it's important that you measure your sets, reps and rest on a workout system that has been specifically designed around your unique athletic abilities and desired jump increase.

As with the quads and hams, it is very important that there your opposing muscle group imbalances ie biceps to triceps and chest to back, as this will ultimately increase your chance of injury and decrease your chance of an increase.

An effective upper body workout is frequently ignored by athletes. However, if you are serious about a jump increase then it's important that you not ignore the upper body when targeting your workouts as upper body exercises definitely help increase jumping ability. It is critical that your workout focuses on your upper body and lower body so that your body continues to work as one unit and does not suffer any harmful imbalances.

If you are serious about increasing your vertical jump you need to find the right program that will meet your needs.

The best program for you will be able to be customized to your own individual and athletic needs and circumstances. Programs customize their workouts differently. One may concentrate on an individual's weaknesses, while another vertical jump program will customize its program through performing repetitious exercise.

The best program will be able to customize your workout precisely according to your needs and not someone else's. It will also be able to individually take into account your weight, your height, your health, your fitness level and ultimately, your vertical jump goal.

It will also offer multiple different training levels. The best vertical jump program will increase your vertical jump strength through both weight training and plyometrics.
