How Can a Volleyball Player Jump Higher and Quicker (Hint: Develop your Reactive Strength) 

Just trying to be hinata

Once a great coach told me the only way to learn how to jump higher is to actually jump. What I find is most kids are very introverted with their bodies so they don’t over sell the movements in order to successfully execute a jump. Either they leave their arms, legs or core out of the equation and guess what…..no real,power in their jump, so they are grounded. Really throwing the arms up helps the body gain momentum in the jump. Actually bending the legs helps explode off the ground and the core is that last 1/3rd of the equation. A strong core helps the explosion factor in the properly executed jump. A strong core also allows the hitter to turn on balls faster and create that whip effect on the ball. So, you don’t really need any equipment to increase vertical. You just need to over emphasize the movements and do them intensely and often.

This is great stuff...This reactive strength training will absolutely transfer over to other sports including basketball, hockey and for me MMA with speeding up explosiveness in a quicker manner not just being explosive but being explosive/powerful faster!! Love it Reid!

Love these videos! Thank you so much!

Great video, great exercises!

As a 37 year old life-long hooper, thank you so much. I just realized it doesn't matter how high I jump. Defenders would always recover and contest my shots around the rim. Being able to explode quicker is the key and you just provide me the info to get to the key.

this workout helps! i did the first 3 or 4 exercises with the most sets and the most reps and my vertical is already much better. my approach is also alot stronger and faster

the way you use your arms to help the lift up is very important as well . !

Very interesting video, super helpful Question @Reid, would you do this Jump exercises just BEFORE our "traditional" strengh routine? Or would you do this Jump routine outside your Strengh routine (i.e. another day)? Thanks a lot.

Respect!

nice! Thanks

Will try this for basketball 🏀

Hey Reid ( or anyone in the comments who can help)! You talk a lot about developing strength before adding these explosive, jump exercises into your workout. My first club tournament is coming up on January 30, so I have a little less than 2 months. I have not been training and am trying to get started and conditioned fast, so I can get into improving my jump and speed (reactive strength). How long do you recommend I work solely on strength training? Also I assume this is just lifting such as squats, lunges, and other controlled exercises, but I am not sure. If anyone wants to help me come up with a plan so I can be ready come tournament time, that would be great!

Congrats for the video, it was really interesting, but I wonder if these exercises can be stressful on the knee joint, expecially the DB snap down jump...thanks :)

thanks from Mexico.

thank you

Awesome sir vollybool jump step batiey

Thanks

I'm right handed but my dominant jumping leg is my left. I do long jump and triple jump so I do have to use both legs, but to jump high, say for HJ, I have to use my left leg.

This is great but in addition you have to do progressive loading or squat heavier. I read many peer reviewed papers and tried it myself after I platoed for a year... then I started 5x5 Stronglifts app program in addition to quick reaction and plyometrics and I gained 6 inches in 3 months... BTW I didn't lose weight, I'm 47 and jumping 30 inches at 5'8"... If you really want to go higher you have to lift progressively heavier.

Hello. Mr. Hall first of all thank you for the informative video! I wanted to ask you or someone in the comment section if the (dumbbell) snapdown Jump is a form of counter movement jump. Thank you!

Just an FYI, build a solid core of working out before doing this, your back/knees will thank you in 20 years.

perfect

This is a great exercise video, but will it work after a very bad tibia/ fibula fracture. I cannot jump as high any more after my fracture. What would you advise I do. Thanks...

EXCELENTE BUENÍSIMO ESPECTACULAR BENDICIONES

Hey Reid, Do you recommend any specific shoes for these jumping exercises? Ie. do you recommend something with flat soles, running shoes, a lifted sole, etc.

I learned how to slam dunk a basketball after having played volleyball for two years way back when. Now I can't touch rim.

Hi! If anyone could help- when I play I feel like I am moving so fast and hitting really hard. Though when I watch film I am really disappointed by my approach and the speed of my arm swing. I am an outside hitter but have played every offensive position at some point- any specific drills to help with approach and arm swing speed?

What if I want to do exercises instead of exercise?

How many days we do this exercise ?

Thanks great vid Coach

I sprained my ankle about a month ago I can definitely jump but when I jump at my full height fast it hurts so should I strengthen my ankles or?

3:30 that's my little cousin when his momma can't afford the nerf gun he want

Which app do you use?

How can I sign up for this program? Still training to learn how to train volleyball players ages from 10yrs old-adult

How heavy should the dumbbells be

when to know that you are strong enough to do these exercises????

Servono a poco

Where is the warm-up?

Goku says you can also train at 100x gravity.

Are these exercises appropriate for HS athletes?

Any advice for older players?

How can I improve my speed if I don't angle a wrist properly is it just in a wrong angle before ball contact.

For beach vball, is it better to do plyos on sand, turf, or hard floor? I'm guessing hard floor or turf since these are for reactive strength?

hello sir can filipino kid 10 years old can join?

2:30 3:45 4:12

Why doing this exercises before strength ones? It’s not better to do them as a contrast training ?

How high would a Wilt Chamberlin have jumped if he had been able to flop onto a pad?? He jumped 6'9" into dirt with a 3 step run up!! He was by far the greatest athlete ever!!

Does getting off the ground quicker mean ill jump to my peak faster?

I've been playing since I was like 9 or something. I'm 28 and my vertical is even worse that it was and I barely got off the ground so this is needed

😀isso

Wanna jump higher? Practice jumping. Strength training and stretching will help, but you're not going to get higher unless you know how to jump.

Hi, where is that facility.

Bro can a ten year old do this i wanna play volleyball

How can I get you to work with my 16-year-old daughter

Do you not know the plural of exercise?

Hallo Deutschland 😂

one exercise can improve your vertical, not these ones. Olympic lift called High pull. This guy is low results man.

She is beautiful. I want to marry a volleyball girl.

Jesus Christ lived a sinless life. Died on the cross. Rose from the dead three days later so you can have eternal life. You just have to accept his gift of salvation. Repent from your sins and surrender your life to him Jesus Christ for eternal life. God Bless Everybody !!!!!!!!!!

Because they don’t have a teddy so the gravity don’t pull them down

video of the progress of an athlete would be a great. I'm your girl. contact me
