SQUAT FLEX JUMP SYSTEM

To Jump higher and improve your vertical jump, you must have both strength and quickness. Quickness is developed through explosion exercises, while squats is the best way to increase your strength because it works the major muscle groups for jumping.
The problem with traditional squats.
1) The traditional back squat with the bar on your shoulders places big load on your spine. Your form has to be flawless, and even then, overdoing the back squat can compress your vertebrae and damage your spine. Squished soft tissue in between your vertebrae over time is quite a painful thing.

Squat Flex: How it Works
The Squat Flex is based on a variant of the squat called the Hack Squat. You hold on to the bar behind your legs and then stand up. It is a wonderful solution to squat training for your vertical leap because it places much less pressure on your spine. All the work is done purely below the waist, and all the resistance is focused on your quadriceps.
For vertical leap training, building the quadriceps is important because of all the muscles in your body, the quadriceps contribute the most force to getting you flying upward.
Squat Flex uses quality elastic bands. You put multiple bands within bands to “bunch” them up to incredibly high resistance levels. Just take Squat Flex Seven out of the box and measure your one rep max hack squat. Follow the included workout program designed to steadily increase your max.
