Are you making no gains with your squat? Do you have knee problems or a sore back that is holding your vertical leap success back? Are you ready to give up on the squat and the idea of increasing your vertical leap altogether? You're not alone. This article will reveal what you are doing wrong with your vertical leap squat, how to avoid injury while squatting, how to train safer and how, very importantly, just one subtle change in your squatting technique can result in a sizeable increase in your vertical leap.

Are you ready to increase your vertical leap?

Good. Let's get started, shall we?

Many athletes, bastketballers included, know how important the squat is to any sort of vertical leap exercise program for achieving consistent gains. Unlike someone like yourself who is obviously hell-bent on increasing vertical leap, very few athletes have the balls to squat as regularly as they need to, to achieve any consistent results.

So my first question to you is...Do you have the balls...because you're gonna need them!

If your answer is yes, then "listen up" as I share with you what you need to do to increase your vertical leap through squatting.

As you probably know, an athlete's legs are physically conditioned to carry heavy loads. That is why an athlete usually squats with much more success than a regular person will. You and I know there is nothing new to this.

So starting with squat method number one, here's one unheard of squatting techniques (but incredibly simple) that will send your squat ultimately through the roof and increase your vertical leap fast:

Unheard Of Vertical Leap Squatting Technique:

Squat Through Your Heels - Possibly the most critical and subtle point for ultimately increasing your vertical leap by improving your squat is how you choose to focus the squat lift in the first place. Interestingly enough, many athletes remain focused on raising the weight. This is NOT how you want to squat. The reason for this is that unfortunately this encourages a forward tilt which ultimately results in the quads and calves coming much more into play than they should.

If this is the kind of squat that you've been doing but has been getting you nowhere there's good news. It's very easy to change the focus of your squat. Simply focus on driving the back of the heel through the ground. The simple idea with this is that you are pushing downwards, trying to break the ground, instead of driving straight upwards. Try it for yourself, you'll know what I mean.

As I said at the start of the article, this simple change of focus is a very subtle thing. This focus will ensure you don't lean too far forward and compromise your knees (thereby avoiding injury). It will also mean your glutes will do more of the work, as they should be. This will result in faster gains, safer training methods, less injury, and ultimately your goal - a much higher vertical leap.
