Why recovery is important for vertical jump training

You can do the best weight training or vertical jump program, but without enough recovery, you won't be able to realize your potential results. For example, if you train hard and consistently, but you go out for parties every night, you probably won't notice any results. Probably, your performance will decrease.

Deadlift

Squat and deadlift goes hand-in-hand. Both are a compound, multi-joint movement exercise. Some trainers argue, that squat is the best, and other trainers argue, that deadlift is the best exercise for strenght development and vertical jump. The technique of the deadlift is simpler than the technique of the sqaut, so it's easier to learn. This is the exercise where one can lift the biggest amount of free weight.

Squat

Squat is the most important and most effective exercise for strenght building, therefore this is the most important exercise for vertical jump development. Due to hip and/or ankle immobility not everybody can make full squats with correct form. They have to choose one of the alternative exercises like half squat, front squat, etc..
