just wanted to know about the program
Mr. Bryant, sorry for the delayed response, I just got home from work.
Firstly, you receive 3 different training programs. One is geared towards if you are a bilateral (two feet) jumper, one is geared towards single leg jumpers. This isn’t to say you are not going to train one or the other, but simply geared towards your particular strength (most athletes are better at one or the other). The final program is similar to what an elite athlete would use, the difference being the first two programs follow what is called a traditional model of periodization (you can think the program gets harder as you go in a progressive, more gradual manner), whereas the third is what is called a multi-target block periodization model. The elite athlete program is designed for someone who has significant training experience. You get all three programs with your purchase.
Secondly, I know the above (periodization etc.) sounds complicated, that’s why the power point presentations are there. We go over all the details of the programs and also sections on technique, various factors which contribute to jumping, injury prevention, training techniques etc. Unlike most programs, I provide a lot of scientific data supporting the techniques I have chosen in the programs. In addition I have videos of the exercises, if anything doesn’t make sense just reach out to me.
Thirdly, the webinar/program is designed to be interactive! You can email me personally or comment here with questions and even post up videos of your jumping technique or training technique and we can use it as a learning video on my blog!
I hope this gives you some more information and there are a few spots left in the TOP10 discount just as an FYI.
Apologize to anyone trying to access the content today, I was trying to speed up the upload of the site to make things faster for everyone! Let me know if you are having any issues, everything should be up to speed.
Would like to buy tha program
How many inches will I gain on my vertical with your program??
Derrick,
The short answer is a lot and I can say confidently probably more than any other program in the long term, simply because of the amount of learning you will get. Other programs mainly leave you hanging after you complete the program because they don’t dedicate the time to a.) teach you the fundamentals of proper training and b.) fail to apply any science to their programs. Therefore not only will you gain inches from my program in the short term (like now) but you will also be able to continue to apply more and more advanced techniques to continue making gains in your vertical jump years from now.
How much you will gain now in the short term depends on your age, strength, genetics, experience with jump technique and training. If you are unfamiliar with using a lot of the training techniques such as using resistance bands during weight training and following a structured program, then you will see a ton of inches pretty quickly.
The last advantage to this program is you can interact here, on the site, feel free to ask questions, send in videos of training techniques, jump technique etc. Basically I am here to help support you in your goals.

Thank you for the reply, a little bit about me is I’m 6’1, 175lbs. I am experienced on resistance bands and other training methods. I can occasionally dunk with one hand. And with 3 months left till season I wanted an estimate on how many inches I would gain by that deadline?
Derrick,
What are your squat and dead lift maxes? I think realistically in that time frame you could expect 4-6 inches, at 6’1 and if you can palm a ball pretty easily you should be able to dunk with a running vertical of 30 inches (if your reach is 8’2). If your squat and dead lift maxes are not near 1.5-2x body weight (higher is better), than you could probably expect to be on the higher end and maybe even more, especially if you incorporate variable resistance on the lifts. If you post up a video on youtube of your jump technique we could also take a look.

Trevor thanks for the inquiry, yes you get 5 credit hours towards your CSCS certification. There is a quiz located in the tabs on the right when you buy the course. After completing the quiz you get the certificate of completion (which was provided by the NSCA) with your name and the course on it. It can be saved to your computer or printed out, whichever one you want. If for whatever reason the certificate doesn’t work I can always fax/email or send it to you directly. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Hi my son just turned 14 and is 6 feet tall. He plays lots of aau basketball year round and can easily grab rim. Is a program like this ok for him and not likely to stunt his growth?
Thank you in advance. The info looks great.
Sal,
Thanks for the comment, in short, no there is no existing research (to my knowledge) in which a gradual progressive plyo + weight program has resulted in stunted growth. Since he is 14 and with AAU hoops he is probably playing a good portion of the year (been there!). This is a double edged sword because he gains invaluable experience in terms of playing basketball, but also places him in a category which is most likely to result in overuse injuries (think sore knees). This program is designed to give you the background information and knowledge so that you can make intelligent decisions on training. The beginners program would be a great start, but may have to be modified accordingly with his playing schedule. During busy times he may only be able to do a single workout a week or even every two weeks. During down times he can perform it pretty much as is. If you have anymore questions go ahead and reach out!
