hey, so i hav a 24-25 inch vert now. a few weeks ago it was at 22 inches. im turning 14 in october, and i want to be able 2 jump 40 inches by the time im 16. im in the 5th week ( out of 12 weeks) in a jump program i made and have gained a few inches. after that im planning on doing vjb novice weights and probably gmv. once i have finished that, if i have a 30+ inch vertical i think i will do tvp.
afterwards i will do probably luke lowrys superhops and altitude jumps along with some weight training. after that i will probably do another program or sum vertical experts things, or lukes vertical unlimited thing, i dont know. do u guys think that its realistic to gain 18 inches in 2 years and do u think the setup i have will work? thanks

i think-yes. 2yrs is a long time. from vjb i gained 10 inches in 8 months. my goal is 40" too :P

my actual goal is 44 ( just like vc

) but i thought 40 would be a good goal for 2 years.

but u r 13 yrs old...i dont think u will have 40 inch vert when u will be 15. best conditions are from 20 - 25 years. but better wait for redsoxfan to respond

How long minimum do you think it takes to gain 18-20 inches?

SkyHigh · #6 (**permalink**) 08-20-2007, 08:47 AM

we have almost the same vert and my goal is 40 inches too. i hope we can achieve the goal.

just wait for other smart guys to answer this question.

its def possible man, that would be amazing to have a 40inch vert by the time you're 16.. good luck

definatly possible rember u will probs gain a few inches vert through natural vert anyway. remeber to leave a proper amount of time between each program to make sure u r body recovers and the gains show cos with me when ever i do any sort of training its when i stop for a few weeks then i see the results.

if those numbers are accurate it is possible, becuz u most likely will also get taller adding a couple inches,, but 40 thats sick

you will.
but dont do TVP, its bullshit. the forumulas and stuffs in there is all wrong. you will know what i mean if you erad the whole thing. his formula for doubling VJ is wrong so his exercises are wrong with it.

i suggset doing JE.

THe super hops and altitude drops are okay. but you have to do pool plyos while doing altitude drops or you wont gain good.
