Wsup Jimmy. I can’t really give you an answer because it will depend on a lot of things like training intensity, previous training experience, rest, recovery etc

You know the program jump manual? Jacob says you don’t reach your full potential until you reach your vertical to late 40 inches to early 50 inches. Does he mean your no step vertical or taking steps?

Some people say Drinking milk and eating bananas make you taller. And eating or drinking anything that has omega 3 makes you smarter and taller.

Is this true or have I done something wrong the past years.

Wsup Azzlo. Just watched your vid. How tall are you? Did you windmill it or was I seeing my own things? Nice hops man.

I don’t have one of those advanced highschool verticle jump devices, at my school we just have a measuring board on a wall so I still have to hit the wall .

Yep, you should have your feet flat on the ground while you measure your reach – no tip-toeing!
