Want a higher vertical? Of course, we all do.
After wasting my youth (my cartilage) on repetitive hours of plyometrics and heavy lifting, I've switched to doing most of my workouts using my own body weight as resistance. The links below will give you some good ideas to help build muscle without punishing your joints.

Now when training for vertical it's important to do as many exercises that mimic the movements that you will be executing during a game, which is also why I've fallen out of love with squats, and grown favor toward wall touches and high skipping. I'll give more details on my vertical regimen in a future post, but for now I think these are a good starter course.
