Calf Raise Block

without comments

Why has my vertical jump decreased…?

I’m 20, 6’2” 180lbs.

First, I worked out with free weights and did no plyos, but could grab and hang on the rim fairly consistently. I used to chase down block guys off the backboard(not as high as they do in the professionals, but would get the job done.)

Then, I started a training program using body weight exercises and low intensity plyos and noticed my standing jump to block shots got better and i could still grab rim, but was much harder to do so consistently.

I am now hitting the major leg workouts and have noticed I can jump higher in game, but when i try to grab rim i can barely touch it anymore. What gives?

P.S. how much do i need to improve? I just started 3 weeks ago.
Deadlift: 145
Squats:155
1-leg Calf Raise: 20lb dumbbell
