"I need to learn how to increase my vertical jumping." This is a phrase heard by
a lot of sports trainers, spoken by athletes who seek help with their training.
Most trainers will agree that vertical leaping is about muscle power. These
trainers teach players how to develop the muscles that are necessary to leap.
The power of your muscles is called explosive strength. It describes the energy
output produced by your muscles in a really short amount of time. Track runners
use their explosive strength at the start line to take off. Volleyball players
use their explosive strength to spike the ball. In relation to leaping, you will
use your explosive strength to lift up high at the peak of your jump. In order
to develop your muscles and add strength, you need to create a strength training
program with exercises that will target all of the muscles that you use to leap.
Instead of doing squats and power jumping separately, try combining them. You
will start out in a normal squat, lowering yourself. As you come back up, you
will leap into the air in a power jump. While doing your reps, there should be
no rest period until you have finished a full set.
Jump roping with ankle weights and stair climbing are also two exercises you
should include. Both of these exercises will help strengthen your leg muscles.
For extra attention to your calf muscles, you can do some toe raises. Also, if
you think standard toe raises aren't enough, you can use a stair to perform this
exercise; it will help keep you from touching your heel on the ground when you
lower back down.
Leg lifts can also strengthen these vital muscles. With a leg lift, you reap the
benefits of an exercise that works two muscle groups. When you lift, you work
the front thigh muscles. When you lower, you work the back thigh muscles, as
well as the front ones.
You can use just about any exercise that focuses on your lower body muscles to
strengthen and develop. There are so many of them. For the maximum workout, you
should concentrate on the exercise that work multiple muscle groups in each
repetition. This can cut your workout time down without skimping on the whole
purpose.

We won our lean on Colorado st +1.5 in ncaa baskets Friday with Colorado St
winning the game easily.

Today in ncaa fb there really is nothing I can see that qualifies as a lean or a
play for me. There is one that is close and I will put it out on the blog if
anything develops.

Also will post ncaa baskets , nhl and nba if anything becomes clear. Since the
volume of betting is so light its very difficult to put anything out on these
early. Usually about an hour before game time.

In the nfl this weekend I am coming off a 4-1 week last week putting me at 57.7
% in the Stations contest and 53.3% in the Hilton contest.

My contest picks this week are in the order I liked them at the time:

Buffalo +6.5
Phil +2.5
Green Bay +3
Kansas City +2
Jacksonville +6.5

In the Stations contest I am getting +7 with Jacksonville and +1.5 with KC.
