Increasing vertical jump with quad and glute power.

Increase vertical jump by taking a comprehensive approach. I’d love to hear your feedback on quad vs glute jumping. I think it’s fair to say that quads, hams, glutes are the three prime movers. No individual athlete is going to use the same percentage of that. You’ll see athletes using more quads, you’ll see athletes using more glutes, and you’ll see athletes who use a balanced percentage of both. So for those of you who are only training, really you see athletes and trainers out there who say that the vertical jump is completely derived from the glutes. If you look at the glutes, their primary function is extending the hip. So for example, you’re sprinting; your gluts here are taking your leg from this point to this point. So really that’s driving you horizontally, it’s driving you forward. That’s what that movement does.
