my vertical jump workout week 3- progress report

vertical jump secret - progress report

Well this is the end of the third week of my vertical jump program, and i feel i should let you guys know how this vertical jump workout program is working out for me.

1st week
In the first week of my vertical jump workout i did the vertical jump program twice in that week, 
result:
i gained an amazing 3-4 inches increase in my vertical leap. 
yes! 4" vertical jump increase

2nd week
During the next vertical jump workout, in the second week my legs are really starting to feel the pain of the vertical jump workout program. i did not give in to the pain and i completed the second day of my vertical jump workout program.
result:
i felt a decrease in my vertical jump leap of about 2-3" but i was actually getting more rebounds and blocks with some pain in my legs. lol.
this vertical jump workout hurts!


3rd week
By the third week if the vertical jump workout, my legs were back and i felt like i could reach the sky during my vertical jump workout program. So instead of doing the program with my normal basketball shoes only, i felt confident enough and tried it out with my jump sols .
result:
after the first vertical jump workout of the third week, i started to feel pain on my right knee the next day. even though i was able to do the vertical jump workout program with the jump soles.
no pain no gain - vertical jump secret



now i am unable to do the vertical jump workout program for the second day of the week due to the slight pain on my right knee. i would rest for 3-4 days and hopefully it would get better and i would start my vertical jump workout again.


jump-sole - increase vertical jump - basketball training.


Advice:
if you are doing this particular vertical jump/leap workout program, please do not do it with a jump sole unless you are sure of healthy knees, because you would be exacting too much force on a specific point on your knee.
and if you chose to use the jump sole during the vertical jump workout with a slightly healthy knees anyways, try to just use it for very few minutes and do the rest of the vertical jump workout program with your normal basketball shoes or training shoes.


Nature of the Knee Pain:
vetical jump secret -  The knee

Well it is not that much painful because i can still walk fine without any disturbance, and i can do almost any thing in daily routing without any pain.
But  when i raise my ankle i feel a very sharp pain in the lower  front part of my knee.
not the bones and certainly not the ligaments holding the bones together. 
vertical jump secret- injuries to the knee


that simply means no calf raising for me for the next 3-4 days. and yes when i am running too, since i would have to raise my ankle to some certain degree, so i do feel pain then too.


Downside is that i can not play basketball nor workout for 3-4 days at least, 
but the great side to it is that i get to rest 3-4 days more and come back even stronger and hopefully with increase in my vertical jump / leap.
vertical jump secret- a reason to be happy


so in other words it is kind of a good thing . cause now i can rest and improve even better, plus now i know that which i knew not of before. i.e. about the vertical jump program and jump-soles 


stay tuned and i would keep you updated as it progresses.

my vertical jump workout

i decided to practice what i teach. lol.

i just recently recovered from a bike injury and went through several operation on my eye, which really reduced my effectiveness on the court and also my vertical jump.

now i am 90% good to go since about three weeks ago.

and yes i have started my workout again and i am working on my skills too. and within that short period of time i have improved drastically.

this is the second week on my vertical jump workout. i only do this vertical jump workout 2-3 times in a week, cause i am working on other aspects of my game.;)

RESULTS

..in my first week i gained an increase of about 3-4 inches which is really cool....

I'm in the second week of the work out now and would keep you updated about the progress as time goes on.

right now i am not even lifting weights. i did that during my recovery period and now i am good to go.
weights might still be required but not during the first 2-3 months of the workout.

i would keep you updated with my progress so please do stay tuned for more, and keep on working on your game.

(Speed + Power + Desire ) = "Vertical JUMP"

increase vertical jump


If you are here i am sure you are one of the exceptional players in basketball who wants to perform at the best level even if it means increasing your vertical jump.

Do you keep getting bullied on the court by getting checked or blocked while going on a layup to score the basket, or while trying to get the rebound under the basket cause your vertical jump is not high enough?


Then you know this is the right time for you to steep up your game to the next level. its time to work on your vertical jump as a basketball player.

Basketball players out there know that they need that jump or elevation, and they are willing to work hard to get there. just a bit higher would give you advantage over the next person during rebound or even in a layup.


So you are at the right place to get the information you need to increase your vertical jump today. 


Just remember this phrase : "INFORMATION IS POWER."
and you are at the right place to get the information to increase your vertical jump. BUT are you really ready to go to the next steep?
Well if your answer is yes, just know that "NOTHING GOOD COMES EASY." in other words you should be ready to work hard and diligently, in other to archive that vertical jump you've always wanted.

Lets get started today..................................

      Just remember these are real information that would help you boost your vertical jump today. so it depends on how hard you willing to work on it in order to get the right result on your vertical jump workout.
    All information mentioned here have all been tested and approved based on the result which was really an amazing vertical leap.

increase your vertical jump today 
   
(Speed + Power + Desire ) = "JUMP"

1. REST.
  yes rest, it is very important to be healthy and well rested in other to increase you vertical jump.
your mind needs it, and your muscles also needs it too.
so remember to set some days or at least a day for resting during the weeks of your vertical training.


3. Planning your vertical jump workout days.
why?:
don't start training/working out randomly on different days, cause that would just produce a really bad result. and you wouldn't want that after giving so much energy and time to increase your vertical jump. 
so plan your days for workout/training and your days for resting too. since different types of workout are involved in other to improve your vertical jump.

6. OLD vs NEW Vertical jump Workout.

      do not throw away your vertical jump workout/training program, just add to the information you already have. remember that no information is useless, but the way we use it is what matters.

- plan another new table that would incorporate the new training /workout ideas you are abut to learn
-make sure you do not over do any workout/training, because it causes you to over work your muscle, thus resulting to low vertical jump improvement.


2. Stretching and warmups. 
(while increasing your vertical jump)
   why? :
a) to avoid injuries.
b) to get maximum result in you vertical jump workout/training.
     you are about to undergo a series of movement that will involve you moving your muscles, and some times twitching them in a very strange way during the vertical jump workout. so please do stretch before and after the vertical jump workout/training.


5. list of workouts




i)- warmups

ii)-sprinting 












iii)- skipping ("not skipping ropes") 
  In this type of jump workout, you would have to thrust your leg and body  forward with one of your legs at a  90 degrees up in the air, while jump of the other leg and land on the same leg you just jumped off of.













 Note: the higher you jump the more distance you could cover.(law of projectile motion) So try to cover more distance in least amount of thrust or skips.



iv)- lunges (normal, side, and jump lunges(off the floor and off an object)) 













v)- squat jumps 














vi)-forward thrust jumps(off two legs and off one leg)
:the motion of moving or lunging suddenly or violently



.this should also be performed side - side












vii)-  squat walk 
like crawling, i.e. walking while still in the squat.
start with less walk around 8 steps 3sets and increase up to 20steps 3sets













viii)-isometric exercises
   very rare do people consider this as necessary in vertical jump workout because it requires a lot of energy with very little movements
 yes little movements, but lots of energy required. by that way we would condition our body to react when and how we want it. pretty tough but it works wonders on your vertical jump improvement.
  note. do not exceed the required amount of rep or time. 
start with 5reps 3sets, work your way up to 7reps 5sets.










ix)-warm down and stretch.
NOTE:
this vertical jump work out should be done on alternating days. try not to do it one day after the other. give at least a day gap, cause your muscles need the rest in order to produce the best result.
also you could do your other jump work out the next day, no restriction.


REMEMBER : (Speed + Power + Desire ) = JUMP


secret to any JUMP program.
  yes it is really simple, jump! jump! jump!
create the desire to jump and to want to jump all the time
measure your improvement:
   try touching any object hanging above to measure how much ease you take to touch it, not how high. (how easily you can touch a very high object depends on how well your muscles are ready to assist you on the jump)
if you can touch it with a lot of work, try working out harder till you can touch it with lots of ease.
 more secrets about RESTING:
after every 6weeks of vertical jump workout, take like 5- 7 days rest no work out just jugging on alternate days. you would notice a lot of improvement in your vertical jump during and after the rest period.
you can still play while resting or working out.  GOOD LUCK.
