Ideas for increasing my vertical leap?

[Brackis]

A friend and I have decided our new years resolution should be to dunk. I need about 10 inches of increase. Ideas to do so without spending money on stupid gimmicks?

Thanks.

Ther's a 13 week program called Air Alert. I used it. I gained 8 inches in my vertical.

Good ideas guys!

Do you think it would be more effective to add weights and do fewer repititions of an excercise?

Your best bet would be to turn black I think, otherwise jump A LOT of rope, very often.

Jump a lot.

Plyometrics.

Lose weight if that applies.

Olympic lifting FTW.

Air alert with leg weights FTW. Squats, toe raises, dips also.
