How to increase your vertical jump while sleeping

A vast majority of athletes and coaches believe that more training equals better results. This is how most athletes throughout history have trained. No pain, no gain, right?

WRONG! This is the furthest thing from the truth, and it’s a big reason why most athletes can never jump higher despite putting in countless hours of exercise.

The fact of the matter is this:

You get your results while you rest, not while you train…

Think about that for a minute. Spending hours in the gym working out 5 times a week and then playing your sport the remaining 2 days NEVER make you jump higher

In fact, it will be REDUCE your vertical jump through about training. The ONLY time your body starts to see results is while you are resting and recovering. Why? Because it is during this time that your muscles renew, rebuild, recover and grow.

How to rest and recover properly

1. Never train to failure

• Most athletes are taught to train until they can’t move anymore. This is the worst advice in the history of sports training. It’s a sure recipe for overtraining and injury.
• Focus on training at high intensity, but NEVER to failure.
• If you’re lifting weights, lift explosively, but NEVER to failure.

2. Get enough sleep every night

• Make sure you get more than 7 hours of sleep each night.
• This will ensure that your body rests and recovers fully.

3. Eat right

• Stay away from fatty/fast food, which raises cholesterol levels and clogs arteries.
• Eat more good carbohydrates like fruits and vegetables and avoid bad carbohydrates and sugar-based foods like soda. Sugars have ZERO nutritional value and do nothing good for your body.
• Eat enough protein every day, especially immediately after exercising. This ensures that your muscles receive the protein they need to repair and rebuild muscles.
• Drink a lot of water for the whole day. 70% of the human body is made up of water, so it is very important to ensure that all bodily processes run smoothly. By drinking no less than 9 glasses of water a day, you will ensure that your body functions optimally.

4. Stretch daily

• Stretching is VITAL because it improves circulation and prevents injuries.
• Stretching also increases flexibility and even increases your vertical jump. This is because the more a muscle can be stretched, the more force it can potentially generate.

conclusion

Learning to jump higher is very easy if you focus on rest and recovery.

Always let your body fully recover between workouts and your vertical jump will automatically increase.
