Default jumping products

Aight so my birthday is coming up and i know there a lot of gimmicks and stuff out there like hypergravity belts, calve isolator, jumpsoles, but which one works the best? I have a range to about 300-400 dollars probably and if you're going to post dont say i should get vjb or something because i have them all...but which one would give me the best gains

take the weight belts, (not weight vests). it is close to your centre of gravity,the hip area so your body naturally takes in the weight, yeah but i heard some say that weight beltsprevent you from using your back muscles, so decide yourself.

2nd choice for me would be jumpsoles, cos that help to use the specific minute ligaments that are not trained regulary and strengthens them so your ankle wold be stronger and less prone to injury

I don't know about jumpsoles,hypergravity belts but as far as programs you should buy Athletic Advantage(the cd-rom version),I heard it's really good not only from people on the forum but other people as well.

Medicine ball
some kettlebells
Lifeline USA powerjumper (i haven't used that one personally but the vertical jump homepage rate it number 1)

You would probably still have change from $300

Cheers
