How To Jump Higher with Plyometrics

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 →

This is the question running through the minds of thousands of athletes around the world right now.

I would usually say that this is impossible, but considering the author of the program, it is VERY possible.

Adam Linkenauger is a 7 time ACC high-jumping champion, so he is a MASTER when it comes to technique stuff.

Dominate On Defense is a brand-new training program by Taylor Allan.

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

His new 12 week “defense-specific” program is a step-by-step blueprint for improving your defense and taking your game to the next level.

There are not too many defense-specific basketball training programs out there, so I’m happy that Taylor has done this.

He is known for putting together top-notch programs, so this one should be no different.

I think the Dominate On Defense program is going to help a lot of players around the world to improve their defense (and overall game).

My other friend says he improved his scoring average by 7 pts/game from last season.

I also checked out the site, and it looks like most players are getting great results with the program.

It looks like a winner!

Knee Bends to Jump Higher

Knee bends is an excellent exercise which you can add to your training regimen. Here is how it is done.

Start off by slowly bending your knees from a standing position.
Go back to your original position and do this for 15 repetitions. When you are already comfortable with the number of repetitions, you can always increase it.
When you can take knee bends on higher reps, give yourself a challenge and add more weight on your upper body.
