Air Alert 4 done, what now?

[RichtheProdigy]

I did it as well but not all 16 weeks.
I did 8 weeks and my vert increased by about 12 inches. I could slightly touch rim after I finished the program as opposed to what I was able to do before the program.

If you really want to increase your vert further, start running up and hills ride a bicycle uphill.
It'll hurt a lot but it helps.
I've been doing it for about a week and I'm just about grabbing rim.

How tall are you ?

I'd recommend you do squats and leg training with weights. try to do 4 to 5 sets of squats and make sure you can only do about 7 to 10 reps. after each set try to jump as high as you can about 10 times. when you to leg training with weights you must make sure that you try do to plyometric excercises with 1 leg so that you don't lose your jumping ability of 1 leg. sometimes guys do lots of squats and then after a few months they can only jump really high off 2 feet.
also do a lot of core training these kind of drills http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNmuF7l0iuY&feature=fvw to strengthen your core, not talking about a 6 pack but a strong core.
well those 2 things core training and squats helped me out as far as vertical jumping, in a short amount of time approximately 6 to 8 weeks I went from being able to do a 1 handed dunk off 1 leg to being able to do both handed dunks off 1 or 2 legs, alley oops and occassionaly I can also do reverse dunks off 2 legs. but I've never tried air alert or other plyometrics for longer periods of time usually stopped after 3 weeks so I'm not sure you can add a lot to your vert with weight training after you have done a programm like air alert.

Well it wouldn't hurt to try. Thanks man.

mixedballa, well that looks good and I'll try that out, too. Will tell you, if it worked.

On the right track just all over the place here.

It's impossible to improve your vertical so much in that short of time. You can max gain 6 inches after it. There're better programs which can give you better results with lower probability of getting injured but they're longer.

Can you name any of them? I'd really appreciate it.
