Exercises that force the muscles to exert themselves in order for you to complete the movement. Strength training is exactly what you think of when you read the words “strength training”. In order to improve upon both parts of the equation, you need a hybrid training regimen of both classic strength training and velocity training. These two things, together, create the explosiveness needed to propel yourself into the air. Force refers to the amount of force a muscle/muscle group can exert (what we typically call “strength”) and velocity is the speed at which the muscle(s) can exert that force. To develop power (explosiveness), you need one equation: Force X Velocity.

Here are three components necessary to elevate your vertical to its highest potential. Volleyball is a sport where an athlete’s vertical jump can make all the difference in performance whether it’s blocking, attacking, or making a great defensive save.
