Be careful that your knees don’t point inwards in a “knock knee” or Valgus position. They should be positioned over the second toe.
Exhale when you’re doing the motion, like when you lift weights.
These exercises develop the hamstrings, glutes, and quads which are the key drivers to helping you jump higher. If you feel pain at any time, stop the exercise.
The calves are another important muscle group in improving your jumping. Try holding some weight while you do this to increase the resistance and build strength.
If you’re not flexible you’ll develop an imbalance of strength. This could limit your ability to jump. [7] X Research source
For a maximum exercise, try holding about one-third of the weight that you normally lift. Jump explosively and repeat it as many times as you can.
