“The Five Most Dangerous Mistake YOU’VE Probably Made With Your Vertical Jump Training…And What You Can Do About It…”

by Alex Maroko

Here Are The Top Five Reasons Why Athletes Fail To Increase Their Vertical Jump And How To Make Sure YOU Avoid Every One Of These Deadly Common Mistakes…

MISTAKE #1: Ignoring The Vertical Jump Equation

Granted, there isn’t one universal vertical jump equation, but there is one that comes pretty darn close: Strength X Speed = Power The vertical jump is nothing more than a quick application of power…to put it simply, if you can increase your POWER, you WILL be jumping higher. And, thank god!, we have an equation for POWER. If you stay focused on increasing your POWER, you’ll be jumping higher IN A HURRY.

MISTAKE #2 : Working Out TOO Much

Most athletes don’t have a problem with motivation, YOU want to work hard and bust your ass, and get GREAT results. The problem is that you might be too motivated (which I know sounds crazy, but I’ll explain that right now). Your body is not a machine…it needs time for RECOVERY. And its during that recovery time that it grows back STRONGER and more POWERFUL. So if you’re working out 5-6 days a week, you’re always pushing it and never giving it time to recover…or in other words, never giving it a chance to get STRONGER and more POWERFUL. You see how that might be an issue if you’re trying to jump higher?

MISTAKE #3: Not Using All Of Your Jumping Muscles

Vertical jump Expert Kelly Baggett says the most IMPORTANT muscles for jumping higher are your glute muscles, or your butt muscles. He also says that a lot of athletes are actually using their glute muscles DEAD WRONG. He says they either are inhibited (meaning they don’t fire when they should) or they’re too weak and overshadowed by muscles that should really be playing a secondary role if you’re focusing on your vertical jump. And according to Kelly, he doesn’t, “believe it’s possible for an athlete to have TOO much glute strength.” Learn how to strengthen and use your glutes better and you WILL be jumping higher.

Mistake #4: You NEED To Practice Your Jumping DUH!

Would you believe most athletes who want to jump higher go out and do a ton of calf raises, or run a bunch of miles when they’re trying to jump higher INSTEAD of going out and just jumping? Jumping is a skill just like anything else; it’s something that needs to be practiced and perfected if you want to get better at it. Kelly and I tell you exactly how and when to practice your jumping  in our Flying In Four program.

Mistake #5: Not Getting HELP

This is the biggest mistake of all. This is the error that keeps most athlete from EVER seriously increasing their vertical jumps. And I get it too…we don’t like asking for help or admitting we don’t know everything (ask every girl I’ve ever dated if I think I know everything…the answer is YES! But between me and you, I actually don’t…shocking, right?). I’ll tell you a little story about myself… I used to be slow, weak and unathletic beyond belief. I hated it. I thought all I had to do was “work really hard in the gym” and do a bunch of different stuff and if I worked hard enough, I would get all the awesome results I wanted. WRONG! It didn’t work out for me at all, until I came across Kelly Baggett and saw how drastically he had increased his own vertical jump (more than 21 INCHES!).

So I bought his books, asked him questions and learned more than I ever though possible. And of course, the best part was how much I was able to improve my speed and vertical jump once I got over that little fear of being afraid to admit I didn’t know everything and needed help. I now know EXACTLY how to make someone jump higher, run faster or get stronger…it’s down to a science at this point. I’ve trained thousands of athletes from more than 41 countries who can attest to that. And in addition to the newsletters we send out, Kelly and I have a killer downloadable eBook called Flying In Four that you can download and be reading literally MINUTES from right now. It’s JAM PACKED with three different vertical jump programs, each of which is GUARANTEED TO ADD 4 INCHES to your vertical jump in just 4 weeks time (imagine yourself jumping a full 4 inches higher less than a month from now!). It’s super easy to follow, the workouts are fast-paced and challenging and most importantly, they just seem to work over and over again.
