Any workout routine to improve in explosiveness, vertical and speed?

[Iamasiann]

I want to increase my explosiveness, vertical and speed for my sport: Basketball. I can't stick to a workout routine because they are usually really bad. Are there any workout routines that are really good and that I can stick with? A workout routine with split days for upper and lower body?

Thank you

Get a weighted vest and do box jumps. also on squat take your typical 4x8 and do 8 sets of 4 with that weight. Focus on the negative then really explode out of the squat. My roommate does this, he is a D1 sprinter.

plyometric program

^ box jumps, two legged and one legged
Jumping lunges and squats

Do sprints 10-15 meter sprints

Speed ladders also come handy improving your quick feet can get you into position faster to perform jumps etc

The best thing would probably be an abbreviated plyometrics program. You already (presumably) do basketball workouts, so you you want to be mindful about going full bore on a plyometrics program; your lower legs can only take so much pounding on hard surfaces. You could implement a minor speed component, but the amount of actual sprinting in basketball is very limited.

Box jump, DB jumps, split leg jumps, Sprinting hills, speed & agility training. It takes a lot of work, but you're right, you do need to stick with a program. Footwork is important in Basketball as well. Check out KingSportsTraining.com for some footwork drills, under 'Training Videos'

WS4SB3 comes to mind. It's a 4day split, with plyos built in.

Just as others have said, lower body plyometrics.

Power cleans and hang cleans can also help out. They indirectly imitate a jumping motion, should help improve your explosiveness.
