    [15 Week] Air Alert III Progress [Vertical Jump Program]

    Hiya all,
    I'll just introduce myself a bit here. I'm Brandon and I'm a fan and avid player of basketball. I really enjoy watching the sport and playing the game. I've decided to start this thread because I've always started but never finished, so maybe if I have a thread or something to look at everyday I wont give up halfway or something.
    So the reason I'm starting this program is cause I'm planning/hoping on increasing my vert by a few more inches. I mostly play shooting guard position, as I am 5'10-5'11 (no shoes/shoes) and 130lbs. I can grab the rim sometimes when I push really hard but most times I just touch the side without my fingers going over. This should mean that to dunk I need maybe 4-5 inches more on my vert which I'm hoping to gain with this program. I think I will start either tomorrow, or Sunday. Semester 1 just ended so I'm thinking maybe a fresh new start for second term, eh?
    Overview of program:
    So basically its all leg work, but I'll still work on my upper body too (dunno when or how). Also (asking all those workout geniuses), would it be wise to use whey protein so that it will work faster/better? And, should I use light weights to make it a bit harder?
    I'll try to update as much as I can like videos of me trying to grab rim or just jumping and the workout and pictures maybe.
    I'm gunna bookmark this ^-^
    Gunna need your guys' help on this one!

    Around 1-2 years ago I also started Air Alert 3 ( the free one?) leaked on the internet, consisted of everything you have in that quote, 3 times a week.

    I stopped at week 12 because I had just realized that it really is not that great, and anyone with any knowledge of plyometrics or physical activity of the body would know that plyometrics will only work for you if you already have a good base strength level beforehand.

    If you currently can squat atleast 1-1.5x your own bodyweight, then plyometrics will work well for you, if not they are mainly just going to give you endurance.

    Yes, let's not avoid the reality that you will for sure see some increase, I did see increase however I felt it was useless after week12, and that's why I stopped.

    You're better off doing a power/strength weight lifting program, gaining the required strength level said above, THEN doing plyometrics, as you can see plyometrics can only go so far because you use your own bodyweight, I remember I had to do like 3 sets of 200 burnouts or some shit, it was absolutely stupid, whatever you do good luck on it, I'd like to see your results and compare them to when I did them ages ago

    Hmm. So I'm pretty sure I didn't understand half the things you said haha. I don't work out much and when I do its not properly.
    So when you say "You're better off doing a power/strength weight lifting program, gaining the required strength level said above, THEN doing plyometrics, as you can see plyometrics can only go so far because you use your own bodyweight.."what kind of strength weight lifting are you talking about?
    Thanks^-^

    I'm talking squats, deadlifts, calf raises, leg press, that sort of strength.

    and I had a feeling you didn't work out too much, air alert 3 is MADE to target anybody that doesnt have a great knowledge in that area
