Perhaps you will, but not necessarily. If you want to increase your jump you really need to train specifically. This is why we have professional strength coaches. Can every 6'1" bodybuilder who squats heavy weight dunk a basketball? Doubt it.

Emcee, you're already close so maybe a little more leg strength will translate to a few more inches in your vertical jump but this is not assured by any means.

It just so happens that ashimmatthan just posted a Christian Tribadeau workout, "Get Strong, Get Fast, Get Vertical" in the training forum. The entire article can be viewed at http://www.t-nation.com/readTopic.do?id=859906

It was designed for increasing your verical jump.
