As the saying goes, ‘You can’t improve what you can’t measure’.
The first step on your journey to increasing your vertical jump is to get a starting point of where your currently at so that you can track your progress.
Here’s how to do it;
Things you’ll need: Another friend to help you, a ladder, and either a permanent marker or chalk.
1. Find a wall or pole tall enough that when you jump you cannot touch the top.
2. Stand next to the pole or wall and extend your arm as high as you can above your head. This is your standing reach. Have your friend mark your standing reach with either a piece of chalk or a permanent marker.
3. Now from a standing start, jump and touch as high up the wall or pole as you possibly can. You’ll need your friend to watch and see where you touch so that there’s no confusion. Get your friend to climb the ladder and mark where you were able to reach on the wall.
4. Measure the distance between your standing reach and your jumping reach. This is your current vertical jump.
