Never say never I suppose, but how many of you guys are even lifting weights? I have seen plenty of posts (not necessarily saying yours a.j.ing) that demonstrate a refusal to hit the gym. Either that or just some lame excuses. Going with examples above: CurtiS hit the weights - and has done very heavy lifts I might add - and am willing to bet that Redsoxfan did too. Personally, when I was around 14 I started lifting seriously. And please don't cite Kadour as a testament to static stretching your way to a 50' running vert. That should be regarded as an exceptional case.
BTW going up inches when your vert is in the 20s/30s is a whole different league to increasing your vert when in the 40s. Training progress is not linear. If it was then people would be running the 100m in less than 9s by now.
