I believe you have heard of the Jump Manual and wonder this question – does the jump manual work ? Well, this is an unbias post about the jump manual review where I divulge everything you need to know about the jump manual before deciding if this is the jump training program for you.

Does the jump manual work ?

The answer is pretty straight forward, YES. It works and it worked big time.

I am going to be pretty straight with you because I don’t believe in beating around the bush and giving you a whole lot of crap.

The jump manual is a training manual, and the way that the jump manual works, is that you need to actually go down to the wire and start working on the muscles that are required for vertical jump increase.

That being said, it is also extremely important that you understand the correct principles of how to train, which is ultimately the key to increasing your vertical jump.

Below is a screen shot of what the jump manual teach when you actually get the manual.

As you can see from the contents page, the first few chapters of the jump manual actually goes deep into the science of jumping.. what muscles are required and how to actually train correctly.

I would say, if there is anything else that really makes the jump manual stands out, it is the core fundamental of understanding how to jump and how to train. This is because, by understanding the principles, you WILL be able to see results fast without getting “demotivated”.

Psychologically, if you are seeing 1 – 2 inch gains in your vertical jump in as short as 1 week, would you be more motivated to carry on training ? You bet, because it is a sign how the program work and you will be extra motivated to carry on the training. When that happens… obviously you are going to experiencing more gains, and by the end of the training program, you’ll probably gain 8 – 10 inches without sweat.

So, the first few chapters really is the core fundamentals to training correctly and what really makes the jump manual stands out. Most other training programs only tells you what training to do, but never teaches you how to train correctly.

Does the jump manual work ? Well.. only IF you understand how jumping works and follow the program closely.

Now obviously, understanding the correct training principles is one thing, the next phase is the different types of vertical jump training and the jump workouts itself.

As we all know, Power = Speed X Strength.

The Jump manual, has already, in the first few chapters, explained the different muscles and the science of jumping. In the training section, it will give you the exact blueprint on how to target each and every single one of those muscles that are needed for the jump.

This is so that you will be able to strengthen each and every little muscles of jumping… and when that happens, you will be able to fully maximize your jump potential and achieve the results you want.

The training and workouts comes in a small video file where Jacob demonstrates how to execute the workouts and a full explanation in text on how to do it and what muscles fibers it actually targets.

Well, Jacob himself does not want to to figure out how to train those muscles and when to do it. As such, the jump manual actually provides a full detailed workout chart that you can follow in your training routine so that you don’t miss out any important muscles groups to be targeted.

Finally, the jump manual training system also comes with support as well as a free 1 month coaching from Jacob Hiller himself.

This means that you actually get to ask questions and get all your doubts answered and all your training procedure corrected should you encounter any problems during the phase of your training.

You can actually see that from the contents – Jumper’s Forum and you also get jacob’s personal email for the coaching session.

Now, you must be wondering… is there anything bad that I have to say about the jump manual. There are so many review sites that sure have something bad to say about the thing they are recommending… well, for me no.

As you can see, I did own the jump manual and my verticals did increase 5 inches in just 4 weeks. So.. how can I have anything bad to say when things really work out well ?

Design ? Graphics ?

Well, again, the jump manual is a training manual, not some fancy “look good” stuff that is nothing but hype.

If you actually put in the effort and proceed on with the workouts, you will see results and you will increase your vertical jump.

Does the jump manual work ?

You bet… it has worked for me… and it has worked for thousand other athletes, and I am sure you won’t be disappointed with the manual once you see and experience the vertical gains by yourself first hand.

A lot of basketball players or athletes are probably look and searching out the best vertical jump training or workout so as to improve their vertical jump.

Well, sadly, I am here to tell you that… there is no single one vertical jump training that can help you achieve or gain maximum gains from your vertical jump.

Why is this so ?

Well, obviously, no one person is similar.

So.. a basketball player who is fast but not strong, may wish to focus on trainings that add more strength to his core and fundamentals while a person who is strong but lack quickness may want to focus on trainings and exercises that put some speed into his muscles.

In other words, the best vertical jump training for one may not prove to be the case for others as all trainings are actually tailored or custumed for each different individual.

Your best bet is of course, unless you know what you are weak in and start focusing on that particular muscle. The trick again, as mentioned in some of the previous post, is that all muscles that are needed for the jump should be worked and train.

This is so as to create that tandem in synergy so that each muscles can leverage against each other to give you that maximum jump and gains.

Knowing the correct trainings and workouts that target each individual muscles is important.. so is the various workouts that actually helps to “better” your jumping form.

Remember… there is no 1 single workout that is made for every single individual.. but rather.. if you are serious in improving your vertical jump.. then.. look for a series of workouts that works hand in hand with each other to create that tandem of synergy for maximum explosive gains and power.

In the previous post, I mentioned about training on your weaker muscles for optimal results so that you will be able to see an increase in your vertical jump fast.

Though I did say it is mostly for the short term, It is something that you should consider in the long run as well.

Here’s today’s takeaway…

Muscles work in tandem with each other to channel the flow of energy from one place to the other.

In short, you need to have the right strong muscles working at the right spot for you to channel that flow of energy for you to gain and reap maximum gains from your vertical jump training.

So.. if you have been targeting your weaker spot, you are in turn, training them to get stronger so that in the long run, these muscles themselves get strong enough to channel the flow of energy, thus, giving you your maximum jump without any loss of energy.

Now.. you by now, should know that I love to give analogy and examples.. so.. lets go back to the strong thigh and weak calf scenerio

Now matter how strong your thighs are, if you have a weak calf muscle… you won’t be able to jump as high as you want to. Try jumping up vertically, and you’ll notice that the energy is being transfer from your thigh down to the ground. Notice that the force is also flowing through your calf as well.

When one has a weak calf, the energy is being loss at the calf and the weak muscles aren’t able to transfer the full force of the potential.. resulting in the loss of vertical height.

Now.. if you have been following me, you will probably know that each and every single muscle that is required during your jump is as important as anything else as they contribute to the flow of energy that is required for a successful jump.

So like I say… the best way to leverage the maximum gains out of your jump and training, is to focus on working at th weaker muscles, making them stronger while NOT neglecting your strong point as well.

Never just go for a one and done all training for a good vertical jump training never works that way…

Lets face it… vertical jump training can be tiring, especially when you are training the wrong way and targeting the wrong muscles. When done wrongly, it’ll slowly drain all your energy and all your motivation… forcing you to give up your dream of playing your hops in the air.

One of the training principles that has worked very well for me and should for you too if you apply the same techniques and principles, is to always train your “weak” spot.

Now think about this… if you have a very strong thigh but a very weak calf, which muscle zone should you focus on in order to bring your vertical jump to the next level ?

You can either work on your thigh, which by then, requires a higher thrash hold in order for it to grow or, focus on your lesser muscle so that an “improvement” zone is being reached far faster and experiencing results in the shortest time possible.

While it is true that we should never neglect our strength, in order to cheat our way for faster results, we must focus on our weaker muscles. ( Note that I mentioned ‘cheat’ here… for this is not exactly the long term strategy but rather, a very powerful method to experience an increment in your vertical leap fast)

You see, an untapped muscle has a higher thrash hold of improvement while an already trained muscle has a lower thrash hold of improvement… so, if you put everything is perspective, do you want to continue working on improving 5% every week, or do you prefer to improve by 10 – 20% every week ?

If you ask me, obviously, I’ll choose the one that gives me the maximum gains and benefits.

So.. never neglect that 5%.. but if you want to see results fast, then the 10 – 20% is what you should spend more time on improving.
