Medicine Ball Vertical Training

[highpost]

Is there a medicine ball workout to improve my vertical.

[Ice890]

Yes, you can take it and throw it up into the air while you jump. I'd just do squats though, try to get a hold of VJB.

Lie on back with legs in air, partner lobs ball onto soles of your feet, you straighten legs vigourously to return the ball.

Stand with ball between ankles, back flick the ball into the air to catch it.

[Buttershap]

Lay on ground, partner stands on bench by your side and drops ball towards your chest. When it hits your hands you straighten arms quickly to return the ball.

Not strictly using its weight, rather its volume. Perform side to side jumps and hops over ball, ideally on a gym mat.

[Buttershap]

Overhead throws. Squat with ball in hands and throw it vigourously overhead as you jump as high as you can. Best done in large open space with a partner.

[Buttershap]

Caber toss, similar to over head throw but ball is propelled forward and upwards from a squat position. Can be done against a high wall in the absence of a partner.

Is there any program you can point me too.

[Buttershap]

I'll sort one tomorrow for you.

PM me to tell me what you do now in training.
