Heavy weight training should be avoided as much as possible when trying to train your body to jump higher. For one as soon as you stop using weight training to jump higher you will experience its side effect which is diminish returns. That's right you are right back where you started from. When training to jump higher or run faster the athlete must perform plyometrics with minimal weight training.
I have had my most significant results with no weight training what so ever. So if you want to jump higher performing plyometric 2 to 3 times a week will be sufficient. Another reason why you should not perform exercises like squats or dead lifts it will develop heavy leg syndrome or a slow jump.
This is occurs because the athlete become accustom to make a deep squat for every jump attempt. This happen to me personally so I know what I am talking about here. I see and hear from so called experts to jump higher to do squats dead lifts and I just say to myself what on earth are they talking about. Then it hits me they are trying to push a jump program that they have never tried.
So believe me gents and ladies stay away from heavyweight training stick to bodyweight exercises, isometrics and plyometrics to jump higher you will not be disappointed.
