Jump Higher Tips
Top 5 Tips When Choosing A Vertical Leap Program
Avoid wasting your money & time on programs and seeing little to no results. These tips should ensure you get only the best.
1. Safety
Don’t even think about doing a program which is going to land you worse for wear. You want to look at avoiding high rep workouts as they have a history of playing havic on peoples knees. Remember most programs say in their disclaimer something along the lines of ’seek advice from your doctor and physical trainer before undertaking this program.’ So check it out with them & don’t risk your own safety!
2. Customization
It is important that the program you are doing customizes and moulds itself to your own individual needs. Breaking a program into beginner, intermediate & advanced isa start, but still not enough. A program should be able to mould itseld to focus in on your weakest points, which will ensure your gains are gauranteed. If your program has no ‘testing phases’ for customization, ditch it!
3. Multiple Training Methods
It is important we train with more than one method when it comes to vertical leap. By training with a number of methods, you can ensure avoiding plateaus. Furthermore if a program puts all its focus on one type of exercise, it will quickly lead to muscle imbalances, and thus injury. Plyometrics, strength training & core work are just a few of the training methods your program should include. The good programs are more than programs, they are systems with a number of programs & concepts within them. They go even deeper into training methods to include extra training methods like water workouts, and proper recovery regimes.
4. Lastability
Once you finish a program, where do you go from there? The majority of programs are useless once completed. Be on the lookout for two signs that your program has some lastability.
Does the program have multiple programs within it? If so, once you finish one program, you can retest yourself (as stated in tip #2 above) and then resume a new program. This type of lastability is evident in the Vertical Bible. On the other hand, as with Vertical Project, does your program continue to grow and push your capabilities? If so, then this can also ensure lastability and continued gains.
5. Follow Real Feedback & Real Testimonials
Your probably tired of hearing “I gained x amount in only x time!” But how can you be sure what your reading is true? Well you can’t. Most of the time we presume they are truthful, but quit often testimonials can be biased, moulded or even pulled from thin air. To avoid this risk we suggest only using Vertical Leap Programs Testimonials from VertCoach.com

Focus on driving ur toes off the ground when going off 2- feet. It was the difference for me in touching the rim and hanging onto it.
I’m having problems jumping i cant jump off 2 feet that high but i can when i jump off one.Also My vertical is about the same as when i run and jump any ideas on how i can jump higer
I used to have that problem, im a one legged jumper too. The thing i did was trying to dunk on a lower rim off 2 feet. At first its gonna feel weird, but the more u practice it the easier and the faster youll be able 2 do it and it will get u up higher.
About 3 months ago I was having trouble touching the rim. I could touch it but I really had to concentrate to do it. It was nearing track season so I began jump roping in excessive amounts to increase my endurance. 2 weeks later, I found myself being able to grab onto the rim. I strongly recommend jump roping as a way to increase your verticle.
My routine:
Jump rope(at a fast but comfortable pace) for 30 minutes straight without any rest (your legs will hurt massively after this)
After this, walk around for a bit. Whatever you do, do not sit down and rest. As good as that may sound, it will have a negative impulse. Walk first and then sit.
2-3 hours later, do a couple sets of jump-squats(20-30reps)
The next is the simplest item of all yet no one seems to ever do it.
Get plenty of rest and eat healthy foods with plenty of nutrions, carbohydrates, vitamins and protein.
The recommended time of rest for working out is 36-48 hours.
I personally recommend 3 days and I recommend that because I’ve injured myself before. Recovery is cruicial to any workout.
However, jogging and sprinting are fine to do as long as you don’t over do it.
*Note:
You probably won’t be able to do 30 mintues of non-stop jump roping at the beginning so start out with as much as you can.
If you can only do 5 minutes or 4 minutes without stopping, try doing a couple of sets of 5 or 4 minutes without stopping.
