Three weeks in on The Jump Manual and my legs are growing like a Chia Pet on steroids. Man, I never thought gains like this were possible. I measured my vertical today at basketball practice – I gained 6 inches in 3 weeks! That’s crazy. I can hang on the rim now.
I still can’t dunk but to jump higher is now second nature to me. I realized that with other programs before The Jump Manual, or with no program at all, I was doing my exercises wrong. It’s not about jumping a lot, it’s about training your muscles to explode when they jump. The Jump Manual shows me exactly what to do and when. In fact, I am training less than before. Before I was building endurance. Now I am building vertical explosion.
My teammates all want to start training with me. I don’t blame them. I am starting to swat their shots in practice and no one can stop my drive to the rack. I guess I’ll let them in the secrets from The Jump Manual secret…lol!

Okay, that didn’t take to long. Woke up this morning, went to The Jump Manual website…clickety-clack…done. I decided that if it worked for Jason, it would probably work for me. Want to to know what helped Jacob Hiller jump so high.
Man, I love that you can get the materials instantly. He’s got an ebook ready to download. Actually, it’s more like a mini application for your computer. It’s got a bunch of videos where he takes you through everything: nutrition, stretching, proper jumping form, and a workout routine. It has a lot more info. Gonna take some time to get through it all. He recommends reading it through then starting the jumping program. And, btw, he looks different in the videos. lol! Sorry, Jacob. You do.
Gotta get my head around this. Gonna start tomorrow. T-minus 1 day and counting.

Wassup, world?
Time to get serious again. That dude from Texas on my summer league basketball team is playing the 2 guard. I gotta boost my vertical or it’s time to ride the pine.
So I hit the internet, my old buddy and found 3 programs that sound like decent jump programs:
- The Jump Manual
- Power Vertical
- The Vertical Project
The prices are all over the board. Power Vertical is about 45 bucks, The Jump Manual is under 70, and Vertical Project is almost 200. I like the sound of all of them and am pretty sure the are better than Air Alert. I talked to some friends and no one had heard of The Vertical Project. Probably because it is expensive. If I had the money, I’d probably try Vertical Project but for now that’s out. So it really comes down to Jump Manual and Power Vertical.

Got Air Alert today. Was surprised the package was so small.
Popped in the DVD. The jump exercises look decent but a bit old school. And the DVD is only 30 minutes – and in Spanish! El basketball esta en cima de la mesa! The manual is more or less the written explanation of the DVD. Gotta say I’m not totally impressed. The jump exercises look solid but it all looks a bit ‘budget’.
Gotta give it a shot. Let you know in a few weeks.
See you at the rim!
