This is for all of the volleyball players? |
What exercises and workouts do you use to get a better vert and to get a stronger swing for your hit. And when you go up to hit how do you look at the block. better vert: squats - for basic strength plyometrics - just google it and you'll get tons of exercises. gotta get those fast twitch fibers goin' droppin a couple pounds never hurts either :) stronger hit: personally, I've seen guys who couldn't bench press a broomstick absolutely WHALE on a volleyball. Just putting it down like a damn meteor. So I guess I would say it's more about technique. Just work on your own technique. Remember to snap the wrist too. It never hurts to get in the gym and do some military presses for strong shoulders and some curls for arms, tricep pull-downs for tris, etc... but technique is the most important thing. And one important thing to remember when hitting is that it isn't just your arm swing. In reality you are hitting that ball with your entire body. So get all of your body into it. Use your abs and legs and back and shoulders... use all your bodyparts for velocity and momentum. Think in terms of a whip. Working a block: http://www.volleyballmag.com/archive/ins... pushups really strengthen your arms. What I do is practice swinging your arm aroud so when u spike it u should be in able of somebodygiving u a low five down by your waist. To block I go up with lots of muscle so I can score it down to the ground well push ups help the power of your hits and serves. practice your approach for hitting in front of a full length mirror. hope this helps good luck front raises with free weights lat raises military press tricep extension all great for arm strength vert just jump as high as you can as much as you can best exercise also squats cleans dont do the jerk no help calf raises and leg press running stair but mostly jumping is the best and as for hitting 1 look at net relation of the block how close they are and if u can get it between them and the net easiest point 2 extension over the net to see if you need to lob it over 3 if your on an edge see if you can scrape it off of them and out or bash it off their arms out and this is all supposing there is a good block up if the block sucks put it down between em and the returners For your vertical: wall jumps, frog jumps (squat all the way down and then jump or as i call it explode, as soon as you explode pick up your arms as if you were blocking and jump as high as you can.)Jump rope. For your swing: Push ups, weight lifting, use a medicine, basically anything that works out your arms. As for you question, when i go up to hit i usually dont worry about the block because i can get really high up the net. Im 5'8 and my elbows go past the net. When you hit, hit the ball in an angle away from the block by using your wrist or your body. Also, when you go up to hit look at the blockers hands and movements, if you see that you arent gonna pass the block then play smart look for holes.I usually wasnt blocked my hit would break the block. Picked ALL-CITY, and FIRST-TEAM. |
