THE JUMP MANUAL REVIEW: SCAM OR FOR REAL?

To start at the beginning, it has been my opportunity to coach intercollegiate and interscholastic basketball for more than three decades during which time I worked with literally hundreds of athletes.  Some went on to play professionally both here and overseas.  Some developed into intercollegiate Division 1 scholarship student-athletes.  Others earned high accolades as interscholastic competitors.  Some teams went undefeated, some lost very few games and others were average achievers.

During almost all of that time I was always on the alert for ways to help athletes improve their jump reach so that they could gain an edge during game competition.  In the process I utilized weight lifting, ankle weights, jump ropes, weight vests, strength shoes, jump platforms, plyometric boxes, special drills and more.  Most of it helped to some degree or another but nothing proved to be the path to significantly better hops.

Thus, when The Jump Manuel came up on my radar screen I was very skeptical, to say the least.  The “add 10″ claim” came across as just far too fantastic.  Over all those years of coaching the best improvement I had seen was in the neighborhood of four inches which was impressive even though it required lots of hard work.

So the first step in debunking the claim of such huge gains in jump reach made by The Jump Manual was to get busy researching the program from every angle possible. During that long and complicated process, this is what I discovered.

1. This program features a notably comprehensive approach to vertical jump training.  The Table of Contents reads like this:

• Warnings & Cautions
• Introduction
• Chapter 1: The Nine Explosive Variables of an Explosive Vertical
• Chapter 2: Understanding the Science of Optimal Results
• Chapter 3: The Laws of Vertical Jump Improvement
• Chapter 4: Muscle Gains Do Not Happen During Training – Creating a Portable Nutrition System
• Chapter 5: Optional Equipment for Vertical Jump Drills
• Chapter 6: Use the Jumpers Forum
• Chapter 7: Pre Workout Stretching and Warm-ups
• Chapter 8: Explanation of the Max Explosion Workout
• Chapter 9: Post Workout
• Chapter 10: Progress and Sustained Increases
• Glossary
• Appendix
• FAQ

2. Included with the manual are two special bonus pieces.  One is from the Shooting Coach and is about, of course, shooting.  The other is from the Mind Coach and is about overcoming mental obstacles.  The latter has direct application to vertical jump training.

3. As you may have noted in the contents, a Jumpers Forum is also provided with this program giving a trainee access to others who have been through the training or are in the midst of it so that specific questions can be asked and answered and best practices can be shared.  What makes this resource particularly helpful is the exposure it provides to a very large audience of Jump Manual users.  It helps trainees to know they are not the lone ranger.

4. Of even greater value is the ability to contact the program developer directly via email and phone.  That allows for a personally customized use of the training.

5. The most recent addition to this package is an online mechanism that allows users to partner up with others so that they can train together  or at least in support of one another if they are not located in the same area or region.

Once I discovered all of this content, along with a review of lots of testimonials from a variety of athletes, I took the plunge and purchased the program so that I could fully delve into all of the detail.  All of that research is complete.

Which brings us to my take on this vertical jump training program: in a word, it is legitimate.  It is important to understand, however, that adding ten or more inches to a vertical jump reach is no walk in the park.  There is a very specific path to follow and there is no question that it requires a lot of work.  Like anything worth having, becoming a leaper or adding to an already impressive vertical is not easy.  But is it worth it?  Based upon my experience, the answer is a resounding YES!
