I'm not an expert but as far as I know your abs are a part of your upperbody so it has nothing to do with your vertical(lowerbody).

no, you wont really gain any vertical from abs. at max 1-2 inch if you're lucky.

as for ab exercises, sit ups suck.

i think crunches are better? abs won't do much for your vert, but that crossing thing near the ab is very important, i forgot what's that call, like traversus or something.

members we are here to give correct answers not wrong ones. Yes training your abs helps you gain vertical jump a possible 2 to5 inches over some time.

sit ups ARE good for your vert... repeat ARE! they work your hip flexors and that in return is part the p-chain which helps ur vert. so do situps, but don't do them slow or weighted... do them explosive and as fast as possible

ps - try not to knock yourself out doin them so fast. lol
