Workout for high jump and triple jump?


Could you tell me any workouts to do better in these. right now im doin pretty good and i think i could make it to regionals next year, cuz i was only a foot away from goin there this year in triple jump. i already do squats and leg extensions and leg curls and was wondering what other workouts could work. and also does doing lunges help those?|||There are a bunch of workouts and drills you can do. You mentioned that you do squats and leg extensions! If you have a coach who knows what they are doing you should definitely be looking into using olympic lifts. These include the clean and jerk, and the snatch. These lifts are extremely important in developing explosive strength. Lunges will work, but I would begin to focus on olympic lifts.





*Make sure you have (or find) a coach who is knowledgeable in those lifts. If they are not, then find someone who is or don't do them at all.





The other factor (most important) is to consider what you are doing with the approach in each event. You have to have a fast consistent approach. Obviously each event is different but you need to practice drills that develop consistency. The more consistent your approach the more opportunities you have to jump higher and farther.





Then there are many drills you can do also to improve your skills in each event. But focus on the approach.





Here are two pages that have drills for the high jump and triple jump
