I finished week 2 of Air Alert 3 yesterday and im gonna try to complete the whole program, I'm doing Air alert becaouse i think it works and many people say alot of stuff when really not many have finished the program. As far as for knee pains people probably didnt warmup or something.
i will post my gains and progress when i can
stats before AA3
Age: 15 years old
Height: 5'9 (175cm)
Running vert : 24 Inches
Standig vert : ?
My goal is to increase my vertical by 6-8 inches so i can come over the rim.
Well good luck on completing Air Alert 3. Be sure to keep posting back with your gains! your knees hurt may get injured from the extremely high number of reps in AA
Ok Yesterday i finished my third week of air alert and today it actually felt like i could jump lower. But that happens during air alert , parts where vert decreases and then increases. I really hope i will have gained at least an inch or two after next week.
Also does anyone know how can i do pistol squats? any tips on how to learn to do pistol squats?
It's thursday today 11:13 am here and i just came home from playing basketball outside, Today in about 6 hours i will do my third workout for week 4 and then i have completed week 4.
I tested my vert today and I have only gained an half inch or an inch so far and im really upset but im gonna do at least til week 8 and see how much i've gained then.
Hey, Shahram, i understand why you want to do AA, Ive been there. i did AA4 for 10 weeks. i did see a gain of about 4 inches in 5 weeks but from then on i did not see any more gains. no gains after the rest week. nothing all i got was both tendinitis and shin splints. I did absolutely everything correct. stretching warm up work out surface. correct form, rest everything. In the beginning everyone was telling me not to do it. both online and people i know that have trained there verts to the high 30's and low 40's. Of course me being convinced id be ok and wanting to get BIG gains without training in a weight room or anything like that as well as being stubborn i continued with AA and got the results i posted above. Your not to far into AA so if i was you I would learn from MY mistakes and WASTED TIME and start a program with POSITIVE REVIEWS and used and suggested by many people, and do a beginner program with VJB. Because of your age (14) you are still growing and you would benefit greatly with a weight training program. anyways sorry for rambling on if you have any questions just ask away

Ok i have just completed the 5th week of air alert 3 yesterday.
I might have gained one inch and it feels a little bit better when i jump.
I hope i will see more gains.
I havnt had any trouble with injuries or stuff like that yet and i play and do alot of other stuff too. Just stretch and warmup and stretch properly and evrything will be fine
Doing 100's of jumps per workout versus 50-80 high intensity, high quality reps is the same as a 100m sprinter going for a 5 mile (8km) jog and claiming this is better for his performance than doing 10-15 x 100m interval sprints. It just doesn't work.
hey everybody, i have now completed week 6 of air alert 3 and week 6 was really hard.
Im gonna test my vert to morrow and see if i have gained anything.
hey i just tryed my vert and i could touch the backboard of a rim that i couldnt before starting air alert , i've gained like 1 inch since i've started air alert and im starting week 7 tomorrow
i have started week 7 now im done with mondays workout and it wasnt as hard as week 6 since the reps were higher then for leap ups but i think week 8 is gonna be really hard.
i think the gains are starting to come now :P ill have to see how much i've gained after week 8
