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

If i do 30 calf raises and 30 squats a day will it help me jump higher?

• im trying to jump high so i can dunk in bball im like 5''7 and not good at jump at all. people told me to do squats and calf raises.. how many should i do a day and how long will it take before i can jump higher

• Answer:

  when you're lowering yourself, go slowly,. but on your way back up, be "explosive." coach tells us that all of the time. not only will it help you as a runner, it will help you with jumping too. clings. dont forget to add clings to your list because its all about how fast you can get yourself under the bar. when you're squating, go down to parallel and work on your form before adding weight. calf raises: do one leg at a time (so that there's more weight on it) and do as many reps and you can, switch, do the same, and repeat. it helps if you're like, a "ledge" so you get a wider range of motion, if that makes sense. do you have a coach? or a personal trainer that you could talk to? because when you're starting out, there isnt really a set number of reps per set or amount of weight you HAVE to pursue. it all depends on the person... we go by a chart when we're working out based on what our max's are... if you have a coach or trainer work with you, you'll see results much, much faster. but since you're putting the time and effort into it, you're jump higher regardless :) ^^^^^^ yes, yes, yes! don't forget about the squat jumps :)
