This was one of the more important points for me. It did not force you to do lots and lots of jumps. I have issues focusing my attention and the longer things go the more distracted I get to looking at other things. Two months is a long time, but compared to other jump training programs this was one of the shortest. The 3 other things that made me choose Vert Shock in the end was:
The reason I chose the program was I knew that the people behind it were real jumpers and dunkers and not just someone trying to scam me. If you think that’s an overstatement, you might want to see the video below.
In reality, this vertical jump program is a collaboration between Adam Folker who’s a pro baller and his buddy Justin Darlington, who many consider as the best dunker in the world. In the end, I did choose Adam Folker’s Vert Shock System. I’ve injured my knee before during a game and it took a few months to fully heal so I don’t want to be sidelined by something like that again. I was also sure I didn’t want to do thousands of jumps to see an increase in my vertical leap. I’ve been lucky enough to see some of my friends use them and was able to borrow a few of those for short periods. I was sure that I didn’t want to use any of the fancy equipment. “what kind of program are you looking for?”Īt least for me, when I was looking around, that was an important part of my decision making. Our calves have to be strong to handle that brunt force.There are a lot of vertical jump training systems around and many of them work. Think of doing the penultimate step before launching into a jump. The same thing goes with working on the tibialis. So if we train knee flexion and hip extension very well, the stronger are hamstrings and hips are, the better we can absorb the energy. If we do nordic curls, targeting the hamstrings, which are responsible for knee flexion and hip extension.
This means doing hip work, different knee work (like nordic curls), and different ankle work (tibialis raises). Ben brings this up as well and uses it to guide his accessory work. It was poetry literally in motion.Īl Vermeil brings up triple flexion quite a bit. The idea of applying the reverse he illustrated by performing the eccentric portion as if landing or going into a squat. The concept of being strong in this case was demonstrated by extending the body as if to jump. Ben made a comment about, “Taking the concept of being strong, but then applying the reverse.” As he said this, he physically moved his body to add meaning to his words.
