In reply to Debby Rice. 1) By box jumps you mean jumps where you jump onto a box (different from depth jumps where you jump off a box)? If so, the only advantage would be that you have a softer landing on the box and protect your joints a little better. Other than that, it's really just a simple jump! 2) I always finish all sets of one exercise before moving on to the next one.

Hi – I have two questions…
1) I am surprised there are no box jumps (either 2 leg box, or 1 leg lateral box), just curious why. Is there any downside to box jumps?
2) Do you always complete all sets for one exercise before moving onto the next exercise? (vs. going through one set of each exercise and circling back for through for second set)

Good afternoon! I don’t think I understood correctly, how to do three exercises if in weeks 8-10, for example there are 06 exercises and in weeks 4-7 there are 07 exercises? Thanks!

After just 8 weeks of this workout I was able to throw down my first dunk! Btw I am 6 foot. Real great workout if you are a beginner and want to dunk in just 2 months. Just wondering if my vertical will decrease faster after finishing the workout.

In reply to Peter. Do you think that means this program does not work for me or do you think it is something else? I really don’t know what I might have done wrong.

In reply to Andy. I don’t feel tired. I have taken a week and a half off now, but still no progression.

In reply to Peter. Hi Peter! How are you feeling right now? Are you tired and heavy-legged? If that's the case it might make sense to take a few days off to rest and give your body a chance to regain 100% strength and explosiveness. I often see that people experience the biggest gains a week after they finish the workout!

Hey
I have finished week 7, waited almost one week, and I measured my standing vertical. The result was apporximently 20 inches, the same as after week 3, and actually the same as before I started with this program. I measured a couple of days ago too, and got the same height, so I don’t think the bad result is due to a bad day or something. Does this mean this program does’t work for me or something, because I have no idea what I did wrong and I am kinda losing my motivation to continue.

In reply to Norm. Sure! You should always listen to your body, otherwise, you are just begging for more severe injuries.
