Jump Quotient: The
more weight you can squat, the higher you can jump Studies have shown a solid correlation between the amount you can squat and your vertical jump. The more weight you can squat, the higher you can jump. As a rule of thumb, to dunk you must be able to squat at least twice your body weight. For example if you weigh 150 lbs, you should aim for a one rep max squat of at least a 300 lb. Your Jump Quotient would be 300/150= 2. Your height, of course, plays a role. If you're 5'6" 150 lbs, you'll have to have a much higher vertical jump to dunk than say, if you're 6 ft, 150 lbs. Jump Quotient, or JQ, is another way to think about vertical jump. The shorter you are, the higher the Jump Quotient it takes to dunk. The Problem with Squats The Squat is the gold standard of strength training for vertical jump because it works the major muscle groups for jumping. However, your progress will depend on access to a squat rack, spotters, and complete dedication to driving over to the gym on a regular basis at up to $400 in yearly membership, not counting $300 in gas money. Or, you could spend over $2000 for a squat rack and Olympic barbell setup for your home. Then pay $450 just to have it all hauled by freight carrier truck, and then two movers with a forklift to roll it into the workout pavilion in your estate, right next to your pool house, and in front of the maid's cottage. (yeah, right, don't we all wish!) Or, you could invest just $295 for the Squat Flex and have UPS drop it off at your door. You easily carry it upstairs, and immediately have access to a massive 500 lb squat station in the comfort of your own room. Imagine: doing the world's greatest vertical workout, right in front of the TV. Complete satisfaction guaranteed or your money back, of course. Another Problem with Squats The traditional back squat with the bar on your shoulders places big load on your spine. Your technique has to be perfect, and even then, overdoing the back squat can compress your vertebrae. Squished soft tissue in between your vertebrae over time is quite a painful thing. The Squat Flex Does only One Thing . . . And it Does it Well. The Squat Flex is based on a variant of the squat called the Hack Squat. You grab the bar behind your legs and stand up. It's a beautiful solution to squat training for vertical jump because it places much less load on your spine. All the work is done purely below the waist, and all the resistance is focused on your quadriceps. For vertical jump training, building the quadriceps should be your top priority because of all the muscles in your body, the quadriceps contribute the most force to getting you off the ground. To develop the quads, no other device on the market comes close to offering the awesome 500 lbs of resistance you can get with the Squat Flex! How Squat Flex Works Squat Flex uses super thick 1/2 inch guage military spec bungee. An elegant anchoring system (patent applied for) lets you wrap length upon length of bungee to "gang" it up to incredibly high poundage / resistance levels. Just take Squat Flex out of the box and measure your one rep max hack squat. Follow the included workout program designed to steadily increase your max. When you've reached a JQ of 2 or better, you'll have the reserve leg power necessary to propel your body into dunk territory. Put Serious Horsepower in your Legs. Order your Squat Flex Now! |
