Workout Drills to Help Perfect the Basketball Jumpshot

Squats- This workout is designed to workout your thighs, hips, glutes, and hamstrings.  This workout will help to get that extra lift in your jumpshot.  Putting your legs into the jumpshot is very important to get a balanced jumpshot.  You are not trying to use all arms in your shot, this will create too much or too little power.

Dumbbell Tricep Extension- In this exercise, you are working out the arm aspect of your jump shot.  Working on your triceps, along with your your legs, will help improve your jumpshot range.

Deadlifts-  Having a strong lower back is very important when you are constantly trying to jump up and down.
