first of all don't listen to jay cause air alert is $%*^. unless you have a super bad vertical than it might work although you will have to sacrifice your knees since it has you doing over 100 reps a set. one good exercise you'll want to do is squating. trust me don't do air alert.

Answer 2

Here is how Michael Jordan used to train his hump. He would get in a swimming pool and practice his jumping in there. It builts the muscle and what not much better and increases your vertical height due to the water resistance. Give it a shot!

Answer 3

Do squats. and push up as fast as you can.

Answer 4

You could try doing Air Alert. I did it when I was in grade 9 and gained 9 inches in 8 weeks. Just download it off limewire or something like that, cause it cost money on the internet. Or give me your email address and I can send it to you.
