How to Jump Higher (50 training/basketball tips)
The other 50 tips are on the Evolution site ([url]www.50inchverticaljump.com)[/url]. These should help heaps!
50. There are optimal times of the day to stretch based on natural human cycles and rhythms: 11 AM and 2 PM. Always fully warm up before flexibility training, and remember that outside heat sources (ex. a warm shower/bath) do not sufficiently warm your muscles like activity does.
51. After training, you should consume 25% of your daily intake of protein. The more easily digestible it is, the better. Some elite trainers recommend taking your fix "before the sweat on your body dries" and it's not bad advice. Make sure to follow the rules (rehydration, then simple sugars first).
52. When you train explosively, you are training the ATP/CP anaerobic system, which is for extreme explosive strength for very short periods of time (5-10 seconds). Remember also, that your fastest twitching fibers burn out in about the same duration of time, so to train the most explosive group in your body you must train to fatigue within 5-10 seconds. This can be done by training 100% maximally for 5-10 seconds when doing your most explosive training.
53. After an intense short set, your body's ATP/CP supply is in a diminished state (ATP is the body's fuel source and CP-creatine phosphate- can be broken down into ATP easily). It takes 4-5 minutes to replenish 90%+ of this reserve, so long rest intervals are beneficial when doing explosive or central nervous system training (this includes plyometrics, olympic lifts, 1 RM's, speed training, etc.).
54. Although isolation should never be on your mind, do pay attention to the muscle fiber composition of the muscle groups being trained. For example, your soleus (lower part of your calf) is 80% slow twitch; higher reps are usually more beneficial here.
55. Don't ever enter a swimming pool. The chemicals such as chlorine enter your skin and damage your body. Deodorants, hair products, toothpastes, and aerosols are largely responsible for genetic mutations and illnesses of this century. If it's not natural, don't use it! There are completely natural products that can be replaced in all situations, free of charge. There is a certain kind of stone, for example, that you can rub in your underarms each day that completely prevents body odor naturally. Do your research, and follow your intuition.
56. Above all, pay attention to how you feel at all times, closely observing your body and mind's reaction to any event, dietary choice, or environment. By sharpening your awareness and listening to your body, you will be able to listen to your own infinite wisdom and take your customized training program to the next level.
57. Any training that works the slow twitch fibers (usually less intense, longer lasting exercise like jogging) will take away from your gains. Remember that your in-between muscle fibers can become trained to act like either fast or slow twitch; live and train accordingly. The act of jumping is 100% anaerobic (ATP/CP). In a game, you are rarely (if ever) using your aerobic system, as basketball is 80-100% anaerobic. This means that you should be training MAXIMALLY and EXPLOSIVELY in each way that you train (on and off the court). Walk faster. Practise faster yet. Think and react more quickly. You are always training, whether you like it or not; how do you want to evolve?
58. Once a week, take a very hot bath and stay in for 15-20 minutes. You gain when you recover, not when you train.
59. A proper cooldown takes longer than most trainers recommend; 20-30 minutes of light activity after your workout is needed. The point is to accelerate the draining of acids out of your body, so you should continue at a pace that keeps you sweating lightly but does not exert you. This is a good time for basketball skill training.
60. By anchoring a word with a specific action, you can train your mind and body to duplicate an exact motion on command. This is one of the secrets behind the world-record 2,300 free throws in a row. Stand a few feet from the basket, where you can easily swish every shot. With each shot, immediately after seeing the ball go through the rim, repeat a trigger word (such as Swish!), either out loud or in your mind. After pairing the trigger word (Swish!) with the action (sinking a shot), you have programmed your mind with an anchor (program this skill atleast a few hundred times - up to tens of thousands). In competitions, you can now simply think or say your trigger word before taking a shot. Results? The record-holder for shooting is an 81 year old doctor who had learned to shoot a basketball only a year before. He walked off the court, ready for his nap, without a miss.

Yes!I agree with you 1dream. You have to connect your mental, emotional as well as the physical for you to achieve your goals in [URL="http://thejumpmanual.com/"]jumping higher[/URL].
