What is it you can do to make big improvements in your vertical training? Easy, just work hard and don't give up. Give yourself plenty of time to recover from your workouts so you can go hard at it again. It's is up to you, how bad do you want to succeed at your goal?
As far as what is the best exercises to do, its those that will build strength and give you explosive power. To start off you need to be doing the basic squats and dead lifts because these exercises will give you the best overall workout and really target your thighs. These two exercises are the best foundation builders you can use. In addition do the other variations of the squat so you get all around development and strength.
You need to strengthen your core for stability. You mid section is the stabilizer and support for your body. Every time you twist, turn and bend your mid section is in action. Do a variety of abdominal workouts to target all areas of the abs. Strengthen your lower back also, this will help balance out the muscle development in the mid section.
For obtaining that explosive strength, you will need to do Plyometrics. This is where you get that strength to propel you off the floor when you jump. Before you start taking Plyometrics serious be sure to have developed your base strength. These types of exercises are stressful to the body so only do them 2 or 3 times per week and don't over do them each session.
This is the basics for what exercises need to be done for your vertical jump training. You should have a coach or a guide to follow so you can focus on doing it the right way and not just trying things and hoping for the best.
