I wanna flyyyy!

Ginja Ninja

well,I was put in midfield for my team[Damn you height*shakes fist*]
But,I can't jump for shít.ATM I'm doing toe-lifts[raising myself usng only feet]
and some squats
I'm wondering would I be better off doing something else?or actually JUMPING?[e.g while waiting for a bus just go hopping for a while and yes I'm THAT weird]

tell me your using weights? and nothing below 20kg for squats and calf rasies counts.

well,as a side note I'm training for rugby in a few months also so,I was assuming over-all leg power would help the situation
and yes,I'd use 45Kg[all,I have right now.] on a barbell,if that helps
Total novice fitness-wise normally just did it and got on fine so,sorry if any of this sounds fairly thick

practice box hops (google) once a week and i am sure you have dumbbells that you can use for lunges, step ups and split squats, ideally use 10-25kg in each hand for these. start at 10kg and report back. 4sets of 8 on each leg.

someone can embed those vids please
