"VJP IS CRAZY!"

I Get Messages Like This Every Day.

You Could Have Bounce too, but here's 10 Reasons Why You Don't:

  • 1

    YOU DON'T WARM-UP THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM

    Every day before training, you need to be doing POWERFUL movements (Med Ball Throws, Jumps, Sprints, etc.). Just going in and lifting or attempting to dunk won't cut it. In the Vertical Jump Protocol, Central Nervous System Warm-Up is done each training to session to increase strength, power, and ultimately, vertical jump ability.

  • 3

    YOU'RE NOT TRAINING THE UPPER BODY

    Arm swing is a huge contributor to jump height. Using the French Contrast Method for the upper body, you will gain strength, speed, and power all at once. Over the course of these 5-weeks, a more POWERFUL upper body arm swing will get you bunnies.

  • 5

    YOUR ANKLES SUCK

    If you can't dorsiflex and your big toe isn't strong, you're leaving gains on the table. All the power from the arms, legs, and torso must ultimately go through the foot and ankle. If these two areas are dysfunctional, you won't maximize your jump height. It's as if you're jumping from a sandpit versus jumping from a bouncy floor. The ankle rocker series and 'pushing through the big toe' will get you up there.

  • 7

    YOU AREN'T TRAINING THE HIPS

    If Hip Thrusts, Split Squats, and Trap Bar Deadlifts aren't a mainstay in your vertical jump program, you should put them in. These exercises strengthen the hips to a high degree.
    This takes pressure off your knees, increases hip power, and naturally shifts the body to a more hip-dominant jumping style (because a high level of strength is there).

  • 9

    YOU'RE NOT SQUATTING WITH BANDS

    When you jump, you accelerate all the way through take-off. When you squat heavy, you get lazy on the way up (otherwise the bar would come off your back). Attaching bands to the bar FORCES you to accelerate all the way up. Over time, this helps squat strength better transfer to vertical jump power.

  • 2

    YOU DON'T USE THE FRENCH CONTRAST METHOD

    Basic physics says the vertical jump is a POWER movement. Doing heavy squats isn't enough. Doing drop jumps isn't enough. You need to cover all aspects of POWER (meaning both FORCE and VELOCITY). French Contrast trains everything and does so super efficiently.

  • 4

    YOU'RE NOT DOING CONCENTRIC-ONLY REPS

    The Central Nervous System (CNS) makes you explosive. It's what separates guys like Allen Iverson from the guys playing pickup ball at the Y. To train your CNS to be explosive, concentric-only (upwards-only) lifting has major effects. It involves higher rate coding, better motor unit recruitment, and ultimately, better gains in vertical jump performance. This is utilized on Thursdays and Fridays in the Vertical Jump Protocol.

  • 6

    YOU AREN'T JUMPING WITH THE HIPS

    Poor jumpers don't use their hips enough when they jump. Better jumpers gravitate towards a hip-dominant strategy. Twice-per-week vertical jump testing will give you the chance to film, analyze, and optimize your jump technique to use the hips more effectively. This simple change can add inches!

  • 8

    YOU'RE TAKING TOO MANY DAYS OFF

    When you chill for the weekend, your Monday performance suffers. By going in the gym and performing 5 sets of 4 reps of weighted jumps, it has been shown to increase vertical jump ~5% for the next day. It also makes you feel more ready to train, increases strength, and keeps your CNS firing so you feel like an absolute beast more often.

  • 10

    YOU AREN'T DOING MAXIMAL ISOMETRIC HOLDS

    Jumping and lifting can leave you with weak links. If you don't train isolated positions, these weakness will never be strengthened. "A chain is only as strong as its weakest link". Using short-duration, maximal isometrics, you can strengthen these weak links to the highest degree - keeping you strong in all areas.


VJP RESULTS


ABOUT ME

I come from a background being an unathletic, scrawny, weak, slow high school basketball player.  Over a decade of trial-and-error in training, I've taken my vertical from

low-20s to around 40-inches.

From barely touching rim to dunking with ease.  

I've worked with thousands of pro, college, and high school athletes to do the same.

If you want bounce, run VJP.


WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO YOU ON VJP

  • You'll Get Twitchy

    Heavy training can make you strong but slow.  Fix this by combining plyometrics with concentric-only lifting.

  • You'll Get Neural

    How do you get a twitchy?  Train the nervous system for outputs day after day.  You can feel the CNS heightening function with each session.

  • You'll Get Explosive

    Combine structural (muscle and tendon) with nervous system (brain and spinal cord) development to give you gains for life.


WHAT THE BOYS HAVE TO SAY

Dude I don't have any measurements for vertical but this is the highest I've jumped in at least 6 years, since I've gained about 35 pounds.  I've been doing the Vertical Jump Protocol and Isometrics (to help with knee pain) and it works.

I've done all the other training (I love/live human performance and am going to school for exercise science to be a S&C coach).  I've done west side, body building style, plyometrics based programs, ATG literally everything but you put this together really well!

Out of the three guys doing VJP, we've gained 3, 2, and 3.5 inches on our verts so far.  The guy who gained 2 already had a 36.5 inch vert and was a year out of college football when we did our first test.  We're finishing up week 4 and as a 31 year old trying to keep up with the younger guys, my hips, ankles, and knees feel stronger and more flexible than they have in a long time.  From a programming standpoint, running the Clusters and the VJP back to back has been awesome.  Super easy to follow and track with the ebooks and spreadsheets.  Love and appreciate how you don't BS and support your claims and reasoning with your work, research, and experience.


Going to risk sounding like an a-hole, but I played Pac 10/12 football, the second guy played running back at a D2, and the guy with the Wyoming scholarship has been working out with me and at these "elite" 7 on 7 facilities for the last 4 years and both of these programs are freaking awesome... 2 of the best that I've experienced, found, or tried since graduating college.  I'll let you know after we finish up, thanks again for the programs and info/support.

I believe Jake’s vertical jump program is one of the best out there, it has all the scientific back up, and it is 100% reliable.  This guy puts hours of work on everything he does and just looking at him you can see he obtains the best results.  I guarantee you, that his program will get you to the level you are trying to get.

I have been working on my vertical jump for a little over a year now. I have tried many training methods and programs and I can say Jake’s Vertical Jump Protocol has been amazing. My explosiveness has improved as well as my overall strength. The program is not just useful for 5 weeks, but truly explains how to set up training for long term development. The program is clear and scientifically backed up. Jake has also been extremely responsive and helpful throughout the whole process. Definitely give this a shot if you are serious about improving your vertical jump and explosive power!

Hi Jake, really enjoying the programme so far… I feel a lot fresher and enjoying changing my programme.  Seen a 1-2cm increase after the fist 2 weeks.

Hey Jake, I finally got my first dunk unassisted and without an alley oop!

I haven’t had one program with as much success as yours.

I’ve gained at least 7 inches through your program! Other programs without weight training just haven’t done the trick!”

Mallek E.

I was at my local gym and I didn't expect to grab the rim.  I've been watching your videos and I was doin these exercise and I only expected to touch the bottom rim like I usually do but I sprang up about 2-3 inches higher and grabbed it I'm hoping the more I watch your videos I'll dunk next year and btw I'm in middle school.

About 75% done, this is cold blooded!! Love it.

Brandon M. Brandon M., College Basketball Athlete

Got rim for the first time in 3 years.

Love it fr it's dope

Thank you man!!! I can dunk now.  Thx to your workout plan.  I went from a 30" inch vert to a 41" inch vert in the past year.  Thanks to your program.

Thanks for the tips I can dunk now at the age of 16

"Bro ur vertical jump program is messing me up. I keep missing layups cuz my elbow hits the backboard"

Alex A.

"Hey man I'm just saying thanks because I used the program you sent me and I can finally touch rim again! It's crazy too Bc I'm only 13 and 5'9 but I did your program and it got me there.  Not to mention I'm also white"

Loved that training style (Vertical Jump Protocol).  Body felt great.  Bounce got better
