on 8/23/2009 Thanks for providing such great information. These are some great workouts. I know from years of experience. I just want to thank you and add a little more value with other exercises that I know will be helpful. Standing Broad Jumps- Simply jump as far out as you can for distance and try to have a mark to shoot for. Pause momentarily between reps. Perform 3-5 reps per set.

on 5/30/2009 The Katapult� Training System and its scientific methodology is by far the most advanced plyometric workout available for the serious athlete. Athletic Training Innovations (ATI) working in conjunction with Karl Frank has created a 52-week in-season/off-season workout (patent pending) that will increase an athlete�s vertical jump, speed, lower leg strength and flexibility while decreasing the risk of injury. -The New Katapult� Training ShoeThe �NEW� Katapult� Training Shoe is lighter, better fitting and made with new composites that the user will notice immediately when compared to what is available elsewhere. Using a dynamic 3-D computer generated program ATI was able to develop our state-of-the-art molds to create a plyometric training shoe like no other.www.atinnovate.com

on 4/27/2009 check out captainreview.com/Jump_Reviews for some good info on the vert programs online. There is so much info out there so this is helpful.

on 1/1/2009 I would not use ankle wts for this. They only provide resistance for the joint below them, which is your ankle, which is a small part at the end of the chain. You might be better off with a weighted belt, from jumpusa or a diving belt, and there are other fitness sites that sell wt belts cheaper than jumpusa. And for god's sakes, don't try jumping over a bench or doint knee-up jumps with wts on; your mind might think you jumped high enough to clear it, but the wt might pull you down onto your butt before you are ready.

on 12/8/2008 I did the program and gained 9 inches on my vert. I have also done the jump bible and seen vert proj and i think power vertical is the best. Check out rankings of the best programs at www.captainreview.com

on 11/29/2008 I would recommend the VertFreak Program as the best way to achieve the highest vertical possible. It also helps to increase sprint speed drastically.
VertFreak coaches include 2008 High Jump Olympian Jesse Williams, 7 time ACC Champion Adam Linkenauger and the Flying 101 dunk team.

on 8/29/2008 Most people when training their vertical focus too much on training their jumping endurance. Which means that they do too many repetitions and too low and intensity. Training your explosion involves very high intensity and lower repetition. If you pace yourself on any of your exercises you are decreasing the effectiveness of your training.

on 8/22/2008 If you really want to improve your jumping ability, first you need to figure out what type of power or strength you are lacking, base strength, transitional power, or explosiveness, they are all different and must be trained in different ways. You'll also want to figure out which individual muscles/muscle groups are working inefficiently You can figure this out by completing a full vertical jump test progression and a baseline fitness test to diagnose any muscle imbalances that you may have. Do a routine that combines plyomertic/body weight, free weight and or acceleration routines. In order to gain inches you'll need to tax your central nervous system and force your body to create new motor pathways. If you do this correctly you should gain at least an inch a week. Its not how many things you try, its how you combine them.
