My Thoughts On Freak Scoring Machine…

Ok, so Adam Linkenauger is coming out with a new basketball training program called Freak Scoring Machine.

Now, if you don’t know who Adam is, he is a former NCAA Div 1 high jump champion, and the creator of popular programs like VertFreak and Freak Jump Technique Reloaded.

He basically took everything he learned from his elite high jump coaches in college, and put all this knowledge in programs to help regular athletes jump higher.

Having a 50 inch vertical himself, Adam practices what he preaches…

I really hope that he can deliver the goods in his Freak Scoring Machine program.

It will be his first non-vertical jump product, so we will have to see if it’s any good.

The program comes out in February 2012, so if you are a basketball player, I’d mark my calendar.

How To Find Your Weakness In Vertical Jump Exercises

No one is 100% perfect in exercises, even vertical jump exercises. There will always be a weak point, even if relatively speaking, it is not as weak as with other players. This is why it important not to compare yourself with other people. You will always be better than someone, but at the same time, worst than someone else. For example, it’s not a good idea to compare your shooting average with Taylor Allan. He is a great shooter who has spent years mastering his craft.

It is important if you want to increase your vertical jump that you look at your progress, and no one else’s. Try to pinpoint what aspects of your vertical jump exercises you tend to be weak. Usually, these are the drills that you have little or no interest in, so you don’t try as hard to perfect them.

When it comes to trying to increase your vertical jump, here are some steps you should adapt: Continue reading

Taylor is a well-respected trainer and creator of multiple best-selling basketball training programs.
