You may have heard that NBA superstar Gilbert Arenas is pretty unorthodox on and off the court, but especially when it comes to his training.

For example, when the team is down, he usually trains three times a day: first with the team at practice, then for 8 p.m. drills, and a third time around midnight, when he hits 300 jumpers on the machine. Rebound. His explanatory statement: Since most of his teammates don’t exercise during the season, this is your chance to outdo them. And the key to this master plan to dominate the NBA? Beginning with game 42, the precise midpoint of the season, Arenas halts additional workouts. “So while everyone else is running out,” he says with a conspiratorial nod, “I’m finally getting my legs back.”

When you talk about Gilbert Arenas and training, there is a story you should know:

One day, after a team practice, Arenas made a $20,000 bet with fellow Washington Wizard DeShawn Stevenson. Agent Zero claimed that he could make more shots from college basketball three-point range with one hand than Stevenson could make professional-level three-pointers with two hands.

And out of 100 attempts, Arenas completed 73 shots! Stevenson, on the other hand, needed to make his last ten shots just to tie it, but he only made his first five shots before missing his sixth (meaning Stevenson completed 68 of 96 attempts).

But Arenas is not just a shooter. In case you didn’t know, the 6’4” guard has a 37-inch vertical!

So what did you do to increase your vertical?

Just take a look at Hibachi’s favorite exercises to improve your vertical:

Box breaks:

Starting position: Place a foot tall plyo box in front of you. Now jump on top of the box. Go down and repeat. Do not do more than 15 repetitions. You can use taller boxes later.

But jumping is not just about the legs, the power you generate in the upper body (mainly the shoulders) is also important:

Press Thrust:

Starting position: bar in the upper part of the back. Quickly bend your knees and hips and then explode up and push the bar up. Bring the bar to your shoulders and repeat the exercise for a maximum of 5 repetitions. Start with light weights and add weight later. Then do 5 sets of one or two repetitions.

Hang clean:

Starting position: bar above the knees, torso at a 45 degree angle to the floor. Now pull the bar up along your body. Rise up on your toes and pull your body forward. Start with light weights and do 2 to 5 sets of five repetitions. You can add weight later and work on one rep per set.
