Jumping high is one thing. Testing well is another.

Here are 4 steps we have observed from some of the best jumpers in the world to help you test your highest vertical jump

1️⃣ What is your jumping plant style? RL vs LR? 🤔

This can help you understand the best or most comfortable angle in which to approach the vertec. You don't have to do this but it has proved very beneficial for many jumpers

2️⃣ How many steps should you take? 👣

You don't want to figure this out the day you test. You want to go with what is most comfortable. Ideally if you can bring in the most momentum off of 3-5 steps you'll jump your highest but only if you have the coordination and rhythm to do so. If not sticking to 1 penultimate step or 2 steps might be your best approach

3️⃣ RHYTHM: Slow to fast!!

Not fast to slow! You should be gaining speed throughout your approach. That penultimate step should be fast and aggressive, carrying all that momentum

4️⃣ Violent and aggressive arm swing

This can aid in your coordination, rhythm and timing of your jump. USE THEM.
