Wanna dunk like Jordan? 2 pros spill the beans on how they can add 15 inches to anyone's jump

In this article I’m going to be answering a simple question that a lot of athletes have. The question is, “Which vert routine will give me the quickest and most explosive gains in my jumping ability?”.

Many people do not realize that this question, though simple, is not always easy to answer.

Athletes have different needs when it comes to training. They often fall into different categories based on the way that they take off from the floor.

In order to be effective, a jump program has to cater to an athlete’s unique characteristics.

If you’re worried that you’re going to end up doing the wrong type of training, fear not!

I will show you exactly where I learned the best vertical jump workout routine. That’s why I created Flight Basketball in the first place!

By the way, that is Nate Robinson in the photo if you were wondering. He is a pro player.

Who Am I?

My name is Pat, and I’m a regular guy who struggled for years to add inches to my leaping ability.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not an amazing athlete. I don’t have the genetics of someone like Michael Jordan, and I am not the son of any pro athlete.

I’m guessing you’re probably in the same position.

I created this blog because I wanted to share my success by letting other people know that it is possible for un-gifted people like me to jump high and dunk.

If you have any questions as you read this page please leave a comment at the end. I’ll be happy to help you out in any way I can.

Three Common Myths About Jumping Higher

I wanted to start out by dispelling a few myths I hear over and over again. I’ve had to figure out whether there was any truth to these over the years through trial and error.

Note that I’ve also written an article about my golden rules for getting the most out of any workout.

I thought I’d try to save you some time and effort by giving you the answers right here.

– You need to do 1000s of reps of jumping exercises in order to see gains

This is absolutely not true. In fact, you will likely end up overtraining your body if you do 1000s of reps of exercises.

There are several programs on the market that force you to do so many reps that your body actually begins to wear out.

This causes you to see a decrease in your jumping ability rather than an increase.

Myth #2 – More training is always better than less training

This is another common myth that I see quite a bit. Many people believe that if they spend more time in the gym they will be guaranteed to see better results.

Well it turns out that the opposite is true.

Similar to myth #1, if you spend too much time working out you will actually end up over training and possibly injuring yourself.

The body needs time to repair.

The optimal schedule to follow for best results is a max of 3 days per week with a day of rest in between each workout.

This may not seem like much, but you will be amazed by the results you get from following this schedule.

 – Doing a vert training routine during my (basketball/football/soccer) season will be benficial

This is another common misconception. Doing a full on training program while your season is underway is not a good idea.

Again, this goes back to the body’s need for recovery.

If you are playing scrimmages and competitive games every week in addition to going to practice, you are going to severely overtrain yourself.

You will be much more likely to get injured if you try to do jump training during the season. You should also save your primary training for the off season.

If anything, you should focus on endurance and light plyometric workouts during the season.

I’m (X) feet tall? How many inches will I gain, and how long until I can dunk?

If you scroll through the comments on this page you’ll see that I get these questions all the time.

The truth is, it’s very difficult for me to provide you with an exact answer without knowing more about you.

There are a lot of programs out there that promise to do things like double your vertical leap in a certain number of weeks.

While this may be possible, it’s hard to truly figure out exactly how much you’re going to gain before you start training. There are several reasons for this.

Genetics – Some people develop muscle and strength more quickly than others. Some people are also able to keep a low body fat percentage without much effort.

However, if you don’t have the genetics of an olympic athlete don’t worry. Anyone can see awesome gains with the correct training.

Diligence – If you diligently follow your training and eat healthy you will see gains. Period.

If you slack off and miss days of training here and there you are not going to see great results. As with anything else, training your vertical requires persistence and diligence.

Proper Training – A great athletic enhancement plan should combine plyometrics with strength training, and it should also give you enough time to rest and recover.

Without these three things you are bound to waste your time on a workout that won’t help you leap higher.

I don't know about you but ever since I was a little kid and first saw Michael Jordan fly from the free throw line, hang in the air for what seemed like an hour and dunk the ball one-handed like a BOSS, I was never the same.

From that moment I've always wanted to dunk - call it a childhood dream I guess.

Only problem is I've never been the tallest or most athletic player around. Sure, I'm good on the court and my ball skills are tight, but I've never been THAT player.

You know, the guy that everyone watches. That explosive freak of nature that will block a shot, steal the ball, sprint down court and then reverse dunk making the other team look like sad amateurs.

That was never me.

However, I've just been told that Justin 'Jus Fly' Darlington (world's highest dunker) and Adam Folker (pro baller) have decided to release every single one of their secrets in a program they've used to add 32 inches in total to their vertical jumps.

So maybe this is my chance to finally dunk…and yours too.

It's hard to believe they would even release something like this, but here it is….
