Dynamic stretches should be done before a workout to help you warm up. Static stretching is keeping the body at rest and staying in one position while stretching a muscle. For example, leaning over and touching your toes, and then holding that position for a certain amount of time without moving. This type of stretching should be done after a workout, or on off days.
There is no perfect training program. As long as you increase your power-to-weight ratio and have efficient flexibility to get into the proper position to jump, then your vertical jump will increase. There are many variations of exercises and programs that can help you achieve those goals. The secret is picking a program and consistently sticking to it.
That being said, the goal of this program is to simultaneously increase your velocity, strength and flexibility, which will carryover and increase your vertical jump.
You should progressively add weight to these exercises each week and consciously try to jump as quick and high as you can on every rep. If at any point you are feeling overworked, beat up, or drained, take the day off and eat more healthy food.
Nutrition is equally important as the training when it comes to the vertical jump. As long as your power-to-weight ratio is improving every week and you feel energized and healthy every day, then you are heading in the right direction.

You can also drill this movement by pulling down hard, holding for a count, and extending up quickly, never leaving the ground. The second exercise is a stair climb. Standing at the base of the stairs, the athlete will step onto the first step and push their shin forward trying to touch the edge of the next step without changing their body position. From that point, they will push down on the foot and extend the shin vertically from the ankle and drive up to the big toe.
And continue to do so up the flight of the stair. Have them think about squeezing their glute at the top of the movement. The third exercise is on my MVP Shuttle.
The athlete will lie on their side with their foot underneath their hip. They will squat into a position where the shin comes forward and hip bends slightly and will do a single leg jump from that point.
And upon landing, try to get back immediately into that same position. We start with a weight less than bodyweight so the movement can slow down to get a feel for it. Once the ankle works properly, we start adding weight. Here is a 40 inch jump with feet turned out with a lot of glute recruitment. This is a 40 incher.

If you really want to improve your Vertical jump and sprinting speed, first you need to figure out what type of Jumper you are, a power jumper or a leaper, as using optimal biomechanics is just as important as having explosive muscle power.
Next you need to figure out what type of power or strength you are lacking. Hi Chris, Really I am very happy to see your entire lesson about the vertical jump. I just started some vertical jump exercises in my home after seeing your post. I am doing daily practice in my home. Great article Chris with such helpful videos.

Imagine that you are trying to push the floor away from you, and stand up. Finish the motion by lifting your chest and engaging your lats to stabilize the bar in front of your hips.

Track and field athletes put a lot of focus on their penultimate step, but it's often overlooked as a way for basketball players to improve their vertical jump. This is a signature element in the form of every great leaper, and perfecting your penultimate step can cause dramatic gains in your jumping ability.
As you approach your jump, you want to take a longer stride in your penultimate step, followed by a shorter stride in your final step before launching. This is the foundation of your athletic development. This is the first thing your "workout program" should address.
In addition to mobility and posture This doesn't need to be complicated. With some direction, it's actually simple.
