How do I use weights in order to train myself to jump higher?
What kind of weights? How do I use them? I’m learning how to skateboard. But I need to know how to jump really high on my own two legs.
Jumping means you need power. To train muscles for power you need to do explosive excersises. To do this you can do your usual leg excersises (lunges, squats, dead lifts etc) but you need to do them with a heavy weight (relative to what you use now) and with few reps. An example might be squats – 3 sets – 8 reps each set – at a heavy weight.
This goes against the usual theory with weights of slow and controlled. There is however some danger to this. Before you try and do explosive power exersises you need to develop strength and a good technique with excersises other wise you will just end up injuring yourself.
When you are trying to do an exersise explosively with a heavy weight it is hard to concentrate on technique and there is a real danger of hurting yourself (eg your back with squats or dead lifts).
Get the strength there first and a good technique and then get stuck into the power.
