Way back from the dead here. Everyone wants to hear if I killed myself lol/. Keep getting emails this topic got a new reply so I'll reply.

Mm I kinda went through with this using a mix of the programs 2 days plyos 2 days weights 3 days rest. I wasn't always able to do the workouts 100% but my vert has improved from not even being able to touch a 9" 6' rim [Late december] to now being able to grab a 9.5ft easy and touch a 10ft. So I'm happy. Starting vjb now that i have more experience in vert training.

u are an idiot for even thinking of doing that...

which program is better for a 13 year old with a 21 inch vert? i have tvp but my mom and coaches say i cant use weights because its bad at my age. so what should i do.

Wow man just don;t do anything. Wait until you've fully gone through puberty before you start trying to do anything physically intensive as before or during puberty you'll pretty much be wasting your time.

When you have grown a few do VJB. TVP is total shit, AA is a waste of time.

Maybe if you want you can do a bit of plyos and you would increase you can increase your vert just by jumping around the place. Another good thing to do would be if you are a bit on the fat side - try to cut out a few bad things from your diet and be more active [im not saying go on some extreme diet program though ~ also not suitable for your age!]

How is tvp total shit? I don't think anyone on this forum has done it, so no one should give an opinion on it on how successful someone will be using it.

Feel free to do weights at whatever age, but results won't be as good as someone who has been through puberty, as you won't have as much testosterone. It might also be a little painful on your joints, but it's nothing big.

I got tvp - luke lowery promises to double your vertical no matter what within like a few months of his program. The thing is if you've seen tvp the exercises he does are countless and require not just access to a gym but a personal trainer + many special machines -{ to do the exercise properly and also heaps of time to do them in. Come back and say when you can do all this and then maybe you can double your vertical...
