Weight Training

| I'm 16, and in pretty good shape and I've got about a 30 inch vertical which I don't want to lose. I'd like to increase it because I haven't done any "training" to get it that high, other than occasional rim tap drills, but I'm going to start.
Anyway I'm 6"0, 158 pounds, and I want to get bigger, a lot bigger so I won't get pushed around the bucket, as well as looking good. I just acquired a set of York Barbell and Dumbbell Set with a training program and am about to start taking creatine. Will this do the trick or will I have to get a membership at a gym? Ideally I'd like to gain about 15 pounds. Will this be possible?

Hi. I am a basketball player who had a 29 inch vertical on September 1. I started working out and taking creatine and it is now October 3. Here are my results:
September 1: height 6' 2", weight 153, vertical 29"
October 3: height 6' 2", weight 160, vertical 27"
I did lose some, but the strength I gained makes up for it. Hope I was some help.

Hi, my name is Leo and I'm a basketball player also. I have at least a 32 inch vertical, and I have gained it through weight training. The thing you have to remember about increasing vertical is that your abs, and your lower body must be strong. I suggest working your abs, and then squats really work. Do the lying squats. Workout your calves. Do some heel raises with weights on... And to really emphasize it, run with ankle weights on... Trust me, it worked on me.

As long as you don't turn your legs into tree trunks, you can keep the ups. Keep you legs toned by (in addition to weight training for gains) doing 40+ reps, running, jumping rope, jumping chain link fences, or whatever you do with ankle weights or whatever.

You should take up a normal routine, but to keep up and increase your vertical you should do this drill everyday:
Start out on one side of a 10" line (with your vertical try a harder one listed below first). Jump back and forth over the line as fast as you can for one minute intervals. Do this until you tire. As your vertical increases put an object such as a box on the line and jump over that. Keep increasing the difficulty every couple of weeks or so. The person I learned this drill from is now jumping over picnic tables (no joke). Good luck with the jumping.
