I know this is 3 years old but the way to get better is to understand and realize you always need improvement and you can always learn something from someone and you show that here. I'm no basketball player but I want to jump higher and be more athletic and it is from me watching your videos on rate of force production and programming specific to increasing your vertical, you did that bro. You will get to his level and it happens one day at a time.

Hey man just wanna say I appreciate the indepth review and the humility of outright saying this dudes program is the best when he's effectively a competitor. And I appreciate pointing out areas where it's lacking and yours or other programs are better.

[@fw.uspp_3537]

15:30 if u go to the discussion tab in the resource area on the PJF app u can ask him specific questions about ur training

[@NathanaelMorton]

Just another reason why this is the best. Different level

[@nicholaslewis7148]

He does a month of plyos to utilize block periodization to maximize the realization. The only problem is if your not well conditioned and not already strong enough, you run the risk of over stressing your tendon. That’s most likely why he goes to only 3 days of jumping rather than 5+ in elite D1 programs. That may be a problem depending on some people’s characteristics and may actually not be enough volume for more well conditioned athletes. The one thing is to be careful of using a full 12 month program that forces you into a periodization model. If you’re in a competition phase it may be completely inappropriate stimulus for that moment. Elite athletes training 5 days a week can need a new periodization focus every 2 weeks and it’s not universal what they will need

[@clemster4099]

Quality review, definitely subbing. My first program I ever bought was very shock, which actually worked since I was a beginner! But it gave me jumpers knee. This was the second I ever bought and was the best purchase I’ve ever made because the first month helped me reload my knee a little after take a few months from jumping

[@hristotatsinski45]

I think that the biggest issue with all these programs is that they are premade for the population. However, 1st of all not even all gyms got all the necessary equipment which is huge issue esp now in the covid time. 2. most of them are designed for basketball players, however not all of us are playing basketball, for example im playing beach volley. 3. Everybody got different body structure and weaknesses, even if i really like some of the KOTG's excercises i even cant make some of them correct and dont feel like ill be able to do them somewhen. For example my back is weak+not 100% correct shape and i feel that i need to work much more on it to prevent injuries, be able to play longer and recover easier and not at least even to reach my max possible vertical. Another issue is that i love to do some other excerses and to play as well and at the end there is not enough energy for all of it. So basically what im missing so far is a program, that firstly adjusts to the buyer's goals, equipment and weaknesses and i would love to buy that, as paying 100s of USD for a program that i need to think how to readjust is disappointing. GL.

suscribed bc this is the realest revies ive ever watched. keep it up man

[@athletic_doc]

In phase 4 there’s a BB RDL at the end of the plyo workouts so it’s not exactly completely without weights but yeah it was weird with almost no weights during the whole month. Though I will say phase 4 is where I saw the most gains, my vert went from 38-40in in that month. I think the next time I go through the whole program I might add in some other exercises like heavy power cleans or something like that to phase 4. Since you have the whole vert code elite program i think it’d be dope if you could make like a supplement program of your own for the VC Elite that has like really good mass and strength-gaining upper body lift days for the Tuesday/Thursday core days and also suggestions on more lifts you could do during the phases where’s there’s no much lifting. Like almost combine what you know about THP Strength, VC Elite, and upper body size and strength building into one super elite program. Maybe reach out and see if you could get a partnership or something with them so they can promote it on their pages and you can blow up

[@antoncoker]

[@harkiratkhasria2728]

Hey I still have jumpers knee after I did rehab while working out.

[@NathanaelMorton]

You may need to stop training and restart your strength training from the bottom up with knee rehab and light weights!

[@trey5768]

Look up atg knees over toes on insta

[@Hoop639]

I'm assuming the no weights month is for specificity. If you want to get better at jumping you need to jump more. Obviously, that's super simple, but check out some of "jump science" on ig his work goes over how ditching lifting sometimes can be super beneficial. Your body adapts to what you do, and lifting weights are so different in terms of RFD, velocity, and elasticity. In terms of injury reduction and pure force production lifting is needed most of the time and needs to be the focus on some mesocylces. I think " jumpscience" has some articles on it. This is just me thinking and reading some experts talk about it.

[@dylan3451]

How do you know how long you should rest for your “jump” program I am on phase 2 of it but I don’t see any rest times

[@NathanaelMorton]

1-2 minutes! Make sure you are recovered and ready to give max intensity before you start your next set.

[@akposemmanuel8537]

Bro please can u share the very code elite program with me.. here in Africa I can't afford to buy it and I really want to increase my vertical and increase my chances of playing pro someday

[@leogoudouvas1273]

In phase 4 in rdl exercise you must use weights you go as heavy as you can.you must choose a wheight that allows 3 seconds eccentric and 1 second concentric for 6 reps in video demonstration he uses only barbell to be easier to demonstrate the exercise

[@NathanaelMorton]

Ah! Thank you for the clarification!!

[@antoncoker]

Can’t wait to finish vert code only in phase 2 so far

[@tarek_harhash8241]

Do the knees over toes, I’ve gained 6 inches so far after a month of bw and a month after weighted. I couldn’t dunk on 9ft and now I’m dunking on 9.4 and touching 9.7

[@JFlsh1506]

Wow thanks for the honest and detailed review, highly appreciate how objective you asses these programs. One nerdy question: does the program diferentiate between one foot or two foot jumper? One foot jumper myself, i was just wondering because some of his exercises seem to be highly specific for the two foot approach, would you agree?

[@NathanaelMorton]

I would agree yes, but he does have plenty of one foot exercises. He does not differentiate between the two, but there are exercises mixed in for both. He will improve both one and two foot jumping ability!

[@Lazalit]

I'm a trainee in pro-wrestling and one of my goals is to improve in my jump high.

[@lowuhs]

Hey Coach! I recently started using your 'Beyond the Rim" program. Though I have some few questions about it. I used to have some starting strength and experience with jumping (previous vert was 24-28 inches and deadlift was around 225), however because of quarantine I have regressed substantially enough to say I've lost a few inches in vert and have gotten somewhat weaker. Would the program really give me that boost to reach a vert near the 30's or mid 30's? Thanks.

[@NathanaelMorton]

Yes, it will! Commit to the program and you will see some great results!
