well u still dont completely lose your hops. For ex., if I bench 300 lbs now, and stop benching for the summer, i'll "lose" my bench and drop to about 225. However, I can quickly raise it back up to 300 in a couple of weeks. So it's more of a temporary loss
Also, I did some research and the reason ppl are getting hurt is because they are gettign jumper's knee.

two things causes this, one is overusing the knees (which air alert does) and the other is if you're going through a growth spurt, you're more likely to get jumper's knee. And I'm pretty confident that 50% of this forum is under 15 and the other 50% used this program when they WERE under 15, which is why everybodys getting hurt.
