This is just my opinion but i would suggest try something other then air alert. If your getting results though then go for it

Have you started the program yet? Because if not I highly advise to take a different path, the vertical jump development bible would be much safer (knee problems).

really? the workouts dont seem all that intense. For example, I do squat jumps all the time, ankle raises, burn outs (jump roping), kinda do step ups (i do box jumps at home). Where do most of you hurt knees? I'm guessing the 15th week would be intense for me (50 squat hops!) but all others seem pretty moderate intensity. Is this a problem for everyone or do we have any successes?

there are waaay too many reps

ah, so the problem is the reps, and not the exercises themselves?
Well, i read up on 'the vertical jump bible' and its incredibly confusing. I rushed past the first 50 pages and then there's like 20 different programs for i dont know who. can someone explain this to me? why cant there be like one easy program like in AA3

yeah i have heard that air alert is no good....i am a coach and i have heard several coaches denouncing it....any truth to this? and if so what is it that makes it bad?

well if u take a look at the exercises (listed below)
Squat hops (hopping around in squat position with a basketball)
Leap ups (partial squat jumps)
Calf raises (this is more strength conditioning than plyos)
Step ups (crisscrossing legs on a chair)
Thrust ups (kinda like partial squat jumps)
Burnouts (ankle hops)

The only thing i haven't seen done with plyometric drills are squat hops. This might put a strain on your knees since you're bouncing in squat position for up to 50 reps, but unless your knees are protruding too far, I don't think it can cause much harm. All other exercises seem harmless, even if you do a lot of reps (week 15: 500 burnouts, 100 thrust ups, 50 step ups, etc.) these exercises don't stress the knees too much and the program seems to build up to week 15...

... so maybe the squat hops are the only problem? I mean, I've roamed around this forum and everybody's saying they're knees are damaged because of this program


BTW, i haven't started this program yet but i had everything ready to begin it! If anybody can explain how VJB works (confusing, as I stated in the last post) I might try it out

the exercises arent that great either and vjb has many different programs so u can chose the one that fits u best and thats at ur ability. its quite simple
