Does mixing heavy squats with plyometrics bad when increasing my vertical jump?

How many squats should i do to jump higher?

  • Answer:

    Do 2-3 sets of 5 reps with a barbell on your shoulders, working up to doing them at your body weight. Don't worry too much about doing more weight, your goal is to be able to jump. Also to 2-3 sets of 20 reps of "touch squats". Start with no weight. Squat and touch the floor with both hands, then explode up immediately into a jump. This can be very hard on the knees, if they start to hurt, stop. If you get so tired that you are shaky or jumping crooked, rest until you can maintain good form. Very slowly add weight, little two pound weights in each hand for your first step. Do this every other day, should see results in 8-10 days.

Just do 5 sets of 6-8 increasing weight each set. Though I'm pretty sure the best thing you can do for hops is calf raises
