How should i Jump??

[phenom11]

I don't know how i should jump. when im running and trying to jump for maximum height, should i jump 1-footed or 2-footed?? Im sure there is a post here with somethin bout it, but im 2 lazy to check.

depends what u jump higher off

Train jumping one leg, and do both legs - that strengthens your two leg jump also, but practicing your two leg jump wont improve your single leg jumps

try and train both because i can only jump off one foot really high but i cant two so now i hav to learn how to jump two footed, save yourself the time and try and learn both.

I think...

usually if your stronger than fast then you'll jump higher off 2 legs. And if you are faster than strong then you'll jump higher off 1 leg.

yeah thats right, a strength jumper jumps of both legs and an elastic jumper jumps off 1

yeh but then youve got the versatile guys like AUT, kobe who can jump of any foot and even plant anyway, like left-right or right-left. i also fall into this category even though 1 of my jumps has 2-3 inches on the rest, all 4 of my jumps are currently 30+ inches

AUT isnt really versatile, he jumps way higher off 2 feet but he says he still jumps high off 1. i can jump off both michael jordan is another god example too

aj bro are you serious? hes like the most versatile dunker out there, he can jump of his right and left leg equally, he can plant both left-right and right-left on a 2 footed jump etc, not many people can do that. thats damn versatile. and mj is another good example.

yea im serious, have u seen him dunk? its mainly off 2 feet, the guy asked in an interview if he wuld eva try between the legs from the free throw line and he says nah coz hes a 2 legged jumper but he says he can still jump off 1 foot but not as high
