Learn why most athletes are training harder and still getting less results. is a post from: Vertical Jumping Programs

The factor that, in my observations, has set apart those who achieve the results they desire from a vertical jump program and those who fail or only achieve minimal gains is that of effort.  Simply place, the athletes who place forth more effort see more gains in the end.  But don’t confuse effort to be a simple matter, it consists of many other things such as commitment, dedication, and will.  It is all too common for me to see an athlete be excited about raising his vertical leap, but lose that drive to succeed a few weeks into the program.  This is in my opinion the number one reason why optimal results are not achieved nearly as often as they could be. 

It takes a strong mind to stay committed to any goal you set, and it is always simpler to slack or just flat out quit.  But I assure you that if you remain right to your vertical jump program and stick with it throughout you will see the results you desire.  This really goes for any program, although the level of results from certain programs could be heightened depending on the individual.  This is why I often suggest that people buy the highest quality vertical jump program that remains within their budget.  You don’t want to buy something you simply can’t afford to, but if you’re going to do it, you might as well buy the best program to see the best results.

So there you have it, with proper effort, commitment, and dedication, anyone can achieve maximal results from a vertical jump program.  Obviously some will gain more than others in the end, but I will tell you that if you truly give it your all, you will transform your vertical jump into something you never knew it could be.

How To Increase Your Vertical

The Jump Manual : Most comprehensive vertical jump training is a post from: Vertical Jumping Programs

FAQ 1: Why is a vertical jump increase so vital?

An increase to vertical jump is now considered so vital to athletes of all different sports, not just basketball, worldwide because it is now one of the main measurements that is used to measure an athlete's athletic capabilities. In fact the vertical jump is now considered so critical that it is the only measurement at the initial NBL assessment.

FAQ 2: Is it hard to see an increase in a small period of time?

No it's really very simple. Of course there is persistence and a small hard work involved but once you know the right exercises to incorporate into your workout program, what part of the body to focus your reps on, and are following the right nutritional advice including what supplements you should be taking you can really see an increase in a week or so.

FAQ 3: Do I need to do a workout every day to see a signficant increase?

Absolutely not. In fact, I recommend that you don't do a vertical jump workout every day for two very vital reasons: One, your muscles need to rest. If you overdo your workout and do it every single day you are doing too much and are diminishing the chance of a jump increase. In fact, by doing it every day you could reduce your increase significantly.

Two, if you do a workout every day you run the risk of injury. If you get injured (as many professional athletes have been by overdoing things) then you can guarantee no jump increase while you and your body are in recovery.

FAQ 4: How Do I Measure Vertical Jump?

It's very simple to measure. Firstly, stand with your side against a wall and extend your arm high above your head and take a measurement, or have someone else do it for you either with chalk, sticky tape, or even saliva. That is your first measurement.

Then take a measurement with you doing a vertical jump as high as you can from a standing position, standing against the wall again. Take the second measurement away from the first and you have your jump measurement.

FAQ 5: How Do I Choose The Best Program For Me?

That's a fantastic question. There are so many jump programs promising outstanding super quick results that it becomes really confusing trying to choose the best program for you. There are some very vital factors that must be included in the best program for you: One, it can be customized to whatever level of fitness you are at and what age you are.

Every athlete is different and for this reason it's essential that the program can be catered perfectly to your needs. Two, the best program would focus on more than just exercises. Diet, nutrition and supplements are an vital factor in your workout program and must be included. Further, the best program wouldn't just focus on stretching, plyometrics or weight training. The best program would include all of these exercise models.

Additionally, the best program must be able to be customized to improvements in your jump. If you do the same reps etc all the way along you won't see as significant jump increase than if you were altering your program as your fitness and vertical increase progressed.

FAQ 6: Where Can I Find A Jump Program?

There are a number of free programs available online. But, as with many things in life you do get what you pay for. It's vital to look at programs that have a proven track record that are recommended by people whose opinions you value.
