Is anyone interested in increasing their jump?

If you're 220 cm tall, you do not need any strenght to dunk. If you're 150 cm, I don't think, you'll be ever able to dunk...

Strenght training is best way to increase your vertical jump. If you play basketball more than 2 times a week, you probably don't need any jump training.

Focus on squats and deadlifts.

Well, I kind of doubt that anybody who is 4'9" is really thinking of dunking a basketball, though the shortest player to ever dunk on camera (NBA-wise) is Spud Webb at 5'7", and through rumors, it was probably Muggsy Bogues.

Also, although strength training has its benefits, most notably in increasing strength, I personally vouch for plyometric and jump specific exercises. These not only lead to great results by improving on both your speed and explosiveness, but they emulate the exact action you're trying to improve (jumping) which makes the training that much more transferable.

I mean you have jump programs like Vert Shock that focus entirely on plyometric exercises with much success and include weight training as another module separate from the main program. I'd say you really need to analyze how developed your vertical is already and decide whether you've already gone as far as you can with a set of exercises (plyometrics or weight training) or whether there's still more to go.

Btw if you aren't familiar with these terms, I refer to some articles on plyometrics and weight training so you can get an idea of the type of exercises I'm talking about.
