Basketball-Specific Vertical Jump Training?
Click play to watch the video…
The #1 question I’ve gotten since posting that video this summer is:
“How did you train to jump so high!”
The truth is, I didn’t always jump this high – not even close. I was born with your typical “white boy genetics” – slow, heavy footed and ground bound.
The embarrassing truth is that my vertical was only 23 inches in grade 10! Far from what you need to be an elite player.
Even when all my friends were grabbing the rim, I was the kid who was stuck just swiping the mesh.
It was so frustrating, because deep down I knew I was a better PLAYER than these guys… But my lack of explosiveness and vertical jumping ability were holding my game back.
Even more frustrating was when I actually started GAINING inches on my vertical…
I quickly realized that training your vertical jump… And training your vertical jump for BASKETBALL are two completely different things.
In most vertical jump programs, they simply train you to jump straight up and down as high as possible. That’s cool, if pure vertical is your ONLY goal.
But I’m assuming that if you’re a serious player, you want BASKETBALL SPECIFIC explosiveness and vertical jump…
The ability to fly down the lane before exploding into the air, rising higher than every helpless defender standing in your way… Before slamming it home with authority.
Once I realized this, and started training my vertical in a way that was BASKETBALL SPECIFIC, I rocketed all the way up to a 40 inch vertical leap – explosive dunks, lightning speed and power, the total package.
If THIS is the type of athleticism you want to have, here’s the truth:
Your current program is probably KILLING your vertical jump on the basketball court.
Even if you’re gaining inches, it’s HIGHLY unlikely you’ll ever see those inches transfer onto the court without the right type of basketball-specific vertical jump training.
And there’s nothing more painful than dedicating yourself to one specific goal (a huge vertical jump)… And actually ACHIEVING it after hundreds of hours of training…
And realizing that it does NOTHING to help your game.
All that training… Wasted.
Don’t let this happen to you. Every player deserves to feel the exhilarating feeling of rocketing into the air and throwing down a thunderous dunk in front of an electric home crowd.
Not everyone will get this once-in-a-lifetime feeling, and that’s a shame… Because nothing can even come close to the rush you feel after that monster dunk.
So in just a day or two, I’m going to email you our NEWEST video, “Basketball Specific Vertical Jump Training.”
It will show you why the current program you’re on is probably killing most of your explosiveness… And how to train for BASKETBALL SPECIFIC jumping ability – like this:
Imagine how it feels to dunk like this…
Not only that, I’ll announce our brand new program, Vertical Jump Formula.
My goal is for the Vertical Jump Formula program to turn you into the most feared, high-flying dunker in your area. As a Renegade member, it’s what you deserve. You’ve worked too hard, for too long.
So stay tuned… This is going to be a BIG week.
- Taylor
P.S. In the video we will also talk about increasing your vertical in-season, AND even what to do if you aren’t playing on a team this year and you want to MAX OUT your vertical for next years tryouts. Plus, some more cool highlights – like these:
when i asked you on email you said this would be a year round program for season, off season, and pre season is this still true? so i can use this during the season and in the summer? how many inches will i gain? thanks and looking forward

How high are you jumping now? How many inches did you gain in total?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 6:25 pm
Somewhere around 36 standing, 39 running. It’s gone down a bit this fall because I’m focused more on physique goals right now instead of vertical, and I’ve gained 15 lbs through that style of bodybuilding training. In total, I gained 17 inches – from 23 inches to 40.1 inches (measured on a jump mat).

Yes, you can use VJF year round. We have different programs for each season and level of player. The average results are 8-12 inch gains on athletes I train IN PERSON. I haven’t shared my vertical jump programs online, so we are only going by the results I’ve gotten with in-person clients. If you take it seriously, you will get the same results.

Excellent. My son will love this. I’m sure you will deliver as usual.

How much can we expect to gain in-season in around 1 month or 3 months? Also is there a body-weight option?

Yes, there is. And we guarantee 8-12 inches or it’s free.

Wow! 8-12 inches, inseason within three months you say huh?
Taylor you never fail to amaze
I can’t wait for this, I’m gonna make it my goal as a 5’7 skinny brown kid to dunk by the end of the season
Gonna be great!!!
Btw, I sent you a success story to your email, please do check it out!
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 10:22 pm
No, you won’t gain 8-12 inches in-season. That won’t happen with ANY program, unless you’re not getting any playing time during games (in which case you could basically train like you do in the offseason).
F Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 11:09 pm
Oh ok, I misunderstood there then,
still I’m pumped for this, I know it’ll be good and will help me!
This is exactly what happened to me. I can actually reach 11’3 and i can hit my head on the backboard, yet dunking is not consistent, so it is kind of worthless. Also, the training hasn’t transferred to my game much.
This is exactly what i need.
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Yes, this sounds perfect for your situation.
[Reply]
hey taylor if i already have the inseason secrets program should i use the athleticism workouts in there or get this? or should i wait until the offseason to get this? Please be honest
Thanks
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 8:05 pm
That’s your decision. VJF in season training is more vertical-jump specific so a bit more advanced, while In Season Secrets is more all encompassing. Feel free to use the VJF in-season program with the ISS skill workouts.
[Reply]
I am looking forward to see how I can apply the program to my players
[Reply]
Hey I have a quick Vertical jump training question. are Olympic lifting exercises like: snatch, clean, jerk, important and/or effective for increasing your vertical jump? Do you think your vertical jump program will get someone to a 45-48inch vertical? Very exited to get you program.
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 8:02 pm
Oly lifts are great. Just not 100% necessarry. You can still accomplish the same results with other movements that aren’t as complex. Most taller players have trouble with them as well. But if you can do them perfectly, go for it.
[Reply]
All these products you have just amaze day in and day out.
Now I just need some money to get this Vertical Jump Formula product your coming out with.
Seems interesting Love to see my 10-inch vertical go up dramatically.
Oh and does it matter to practice this training indoors or outdoors?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 8:07 pm
Growing up I used to practice outdoors only. Either way works, but a gym is best. No excuses though if you don’t have a gym.

yo taylor, this sounds awesome! i got a question tho, is this a formula to design your own workout or it has a workout?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 8:06 pm
Every workout is written for you. We will give you the formula to write your own workout as well in the theory sections, but you can basically skip all that stuff and just do the workouts as written.
[Reply]
I would absolutely love this. Would you also have stuff about the best moves to get an opportunity to dunk when you’re in the lane?
[Reply]
Hey Taylor I was also wonderin if these workouts would have body weight options that could be done anywhere such as in my basement?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 21st, 2011 at 10:22 pm
Yes, there are bodyweight versions within the package

Hey Taylor,
I’m a bit different than most here. Being I’m almost 31 years of age.
But I’ve always had the goal to dunk a ball with authority so this looks killer.
I still hoop every Friday usually and def think I can get it done.
always at my home office and
hopefully I can do this stuff at home. I have a small gym with everything
I should need.
Cheers mate. Good luck with the launch and look forward to launching with the b-ball
myself!!
Best,
Brandon

Similar movement patterns yes, but this is basketball specific. Although in theory it would help most sports with a similar movement pattern of cutting and turning and “chaotic” jumping

I’ve been trying prolific shooting the youth program for a week now and I still can’t shoot beyond 17 feet without crossing the line. What do you recommend me to do to my shot?

(sorry for writin so much man)i’m 5’11″, 17yrs old and entering my HS senior year season. I’m right handed but i have dunked with my left just recently, but it was off a alley and barely after so many tries. i’ve been doing so much work to increase my vert, squating 600lbs and jumping with 300lbs but i’ve gained probly around 3-5 inches since sophmore year. I’m not a dunker right now. However i know thats (really higher vertical) all i need to take me to the next level, I’ve already been improving my other basketball skills dramatically. Why can’t the vert increase with hardwork like everything else, smh. Just wonderin how could you help me?

hey Taylor, I recently squatted 2x my body weight doing a strength concentrated routine(Starting strength) for 4 months. However, my vertical remained around 24 inches. If i’ll do your program, how long does it usually take me to have a standing 31+ inches?

Taylor Reply:
November 22nd, 2011 at 10:00 am
One of my clients this summer, Joe, started with a 23.5 inch standing vertical Jump Mat measured. He had 6 weeks to train and got to 30 inches by the time he left for training camp. So that’s a similar scenario to compare.

Is everything in your jump program body weight??? Or will I need access to some weights if so, what??? Just barbells? A rack? Some light weights?? I would want to know before I buy so I know if I need to get some. Also how long do the workouts generally take??
thanks…
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 22nd, 2011 at 9:58 am
Workouts are around 60 minutes. There is a weight room variation and a bodyweight variation for each program. For the weight room you will only need basics (bar, rack, dumbbells, weights, bench).
[Reply]
Hey taylor please reply asap
i was wondering. I am 5’8 and 138 lb. i only have a 22 inch vertical. I want to gain around 15 inches from this and also gain like 10-15 lbs of muscle for basketball with this program. How long will 15 inches take me and will i be able to achieve my muscle goals in that amount of time. Also will this suffice for my speed and agility training or will that be different.
Thanks
[Reply]
In the quick fix series I can’t get my vertical jump cure, conditioning cure, and coaches cure to load because there is an error. What should I do to stop this error?
[Reply]
hey taylor, will bodyweight give the same or almost the same results as lifting? what if u mix the bodyweight with the lifting? would the mix be better than just bodyweight? because my local gym is pretty old-school
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 23rd, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Lifting will give better results for anyone who is past the entry level stage. But if you can’t lift, there are penty of bodyweight versions available.
[Reply]
I prefer you show your feet look like your being assist,

Taylor Reply:
November 23rd, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Assist? There are PLENTY more videos of me dunking with my feet in plain view, take a look around man. Nothing to hide here. Here’s another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TBp39YdlcKE
For everyone else, don’t hate on people who work hard to get results.
I hope you don’t say the same crap to all of the Renegade members who will be dunking in a few months.

i can’t really grab rim. im like 2-4 inches off. is it possible for me to grab rim at the end of the season?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 23rd, 2011 at 12:57 pm
Depends how much playing time you’re getting and how intense the season schedule is. Frankly, it’s possible to get 2-4 inches just through some of the technique stuff we give in the package.
[Reply]
Hey Taylor,
I’m in my second year in highschool, and I’m on the bench for the junior team. Even though I work the hardest out of everybody, I still don’t get the playing time. I’m already 6’4 and i can barely grab rim. If I got this program and was able to dunk, I believe that my coach will start me. One question, will any of the excercises include weight lifting
[Reply]
how much will this cost? I buy all of your programs so im really trying to snag this VJF for a good price

Hey, I have the vertical to dunk right now, but I just can never finish the process. I need an extra boost. I have been working hard for the basketball try-outs next year for college.

man you got great hops taylor…u think 23inches in grade 10 was bad? im 16 and my vert in 21inches…and im somewhat going thru the same process…but the thing is my friends already know im better then them skill wise…becuase only 3or4of my friends can outjump me ..but they knw i work wayyyyyyyyy harder then they do on and off the court and i can garuntee i do…my goal is to have at least a 33inch vertical by the end of our summer which is in 9weeks!! sounds crazy i know but if i dont have goals then what do i have right? everyone had to have goals…

Hey Taylor,
Just got cut from my junior varsity team cuz I didn’t have the athleticism, this is the second time last time being grade 7. I’m 5’10″ 145lbs. and in my grade 10 year. I can usually pop rim, do you think I’ll be able to dunk by next season? I just got PSP, Scoring Secrets and the other basketball renegades products. I wanna come back hard and play senior varsity so I can show the coach that cut me, he said I’d probably be playing junior varsity next year but I wanna be comin back guns a blazin’ . Would a solid off season of work (including the in season of those who made it since I won’t be playing) be able to see me dunking?
[Reply]
Okay, so say i’m a 5’11 to 6″ guy, and I can get the ball stuck on the rim when I try to dunk, will your program raising my jump by 8-12 inches allow me to dunk fairly easily? thanx Taylor

Hey Taylor,
The program sounds like it is going to be great and I can’t wait to get it. I was wondering if you are going to make a program for basketball specific weight training, strength and conditioning training or speed training?
Thank you so much
[Reply]
Hello Taylor,
I was just wondering, what is the difference between training with regular vertical jump program (like VJB, Jump Manual etc.) and basketball specific jump program?
Do you also consider in program how tall are basketball players? Because I saw somewhere that you do not recomend to players who are taller than 6’3″ to do squats and deadlifts. Thank you for your answer.
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 24th, 2011 at 5:59 pm
VJB and Jump manual are great programs. There are still a few tweaks I’d make for basketball players though. And yes, you need to consider how tall a player is and what their mobility/ROM is as well for exercise selection.
[Reply]
I want to learn how !
[Reply]
a gain of 8-12 inches i can’t wait to get this program
[Reply]
Hey Taylor,
Thanks for putting out another great program. I’ve got a few quick questions.
1. Since I have access to only limited equipment (dumbbells but not barbells), can I mix in-season and body weight workouts? Or should I just stick with the body weight workouts?
2. If I have practices 4-6 days a week, but no games, should I do VJF in-season workouts, or should I wait until off-season to do the main workouts to maximize results? (Will doing in-season affect my results for off-season workouts?)
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 24th, 2011 at 6:01 pm
Depends how intense practices are. The only thing you can do is try and see if you can recover and make gains. A lot of teams practices are pretty tame, so you might be able to get away with it. On the other hand, I could never have done it in high school the way we practiced. So you gotta be the judge on this one.
[Reply]
I lov prolific shooting and all the other programs I bought off you … Im short on money and want to increase my vertical badly I’m white and can’t jump too high … Any way you can hook me up

I’ve been doing calf raises and it has helped but it feels like no it does help anymore and I’ve getting blocked by the rim and I can’t get it over.
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 24th, 2011 at 5:57 pm
Yeah calf raises won’t do much for you. The calves need to be trained much differently than the rest of your lower body (scientifically that means less duration work and more rate work for optimal stiffness)

[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
November 24th, 2011 at 8:48 pm
That’s highly unlikely with ANY program or any style of training. Not impossible, but highly unlikely. You would have to add 3-5 inches just from technique gains, and then really dial everything perfectly in when you trained. You’re basically asking for 2 inches every single week, which is beyond what our body can naturally generate.

No. If you qualify for the young guns program, that is the program that will give you the best results. We’ve fine tuned it so that the exact program you SHOULD be using is the one that will get you maximum results for your individual type.

Yes. DD is basketball specific – in-season domination is as well, but with in-season training things get a little warped, you can’t do as much to push it in that direction without overtraining

I am 46 yrs old and I still play pickup and several leagues. I had knee surgury last year to repair a torn patella tendon and meniscus and also some cartillage repair. I used to be able to dunk in my teens and 20′s but now it seems my veritcle has been reduce to nothing. Is this a program that I can do and should I be concerned about any knee injuries whule training?

As long as you don’t have any current structural issues or tears, and everything is healed, VJF will actually decrease your knee pain because of muscle patterns and balance and movement patterns. This program was the biggest reason I cured my own knee pain back in high school.

FJT is a technique only program. Not a TRAINING program. So use FJT with the Vertical Jump Formula. It will dramatically increase your results. FJT is awesome! But FJT + VJF is even better.

With the way basketball is, you’ll be able to cycle the mastery program over and over every offseason with no fear of plateau – because during the season you need to switch out programs anyway. So that’s not a concern at all.

[Reply]
Hey Taylor I’ve been checking out your Youtube and everything you’ve made since the 6th grade. I’m now in 8th grade and I’m so glad that you are doing this vertical jump thing. From doing other manuals I can already tell what will be in this and I can assure anyone reading this that you can gain at least 12 inches in 3 weeks. I used to not be able to jump at all and was the slowest in my grade. After this kind of jump training that I did in other manuals I had a 25 inch vertical at 12 years old and was almost the fastest in my grade. Trust Taylor when he makes this because I personally am a huge fan of him and know that this will be good. I don’t want to give out too much information because Taylor is selling this but what you learn will also improve all of your basketball skills because of the explosiveness that I am guessing Taylor is going to teach. I quit basketball for a while, because of family issues. Whenever I see one of Taylor’s videos or books it makes me want to be in the NBA. It gives me determination. I hope that anyone who buys this will get that determination and appreciate Taylor like I appreciate him.

Hey Taylor,
I’m 15, 5 ’3 and have a 15 inch running vertical with no prior training. I can’t touch the net on a basketball hoop. I’ll probably grow to around 5 ’8-’10. I’ve been told my whole life that a person with my genetics cannot dunk. I’ve heard it from my peers, coaches, even from my mum, but I never once bought it. I still believe I can dunk but I’m starting to feel a little doubtful of myself. Do you think someone with my horrible genetics can dunk? I’m willing to work as hard as is necessary and my ultimate goal is to play professionally in the NBA. I have big dreams, but the foundation of these dreams, my belief in myself, is a bit shaky right now due to continued exposure to negativity from others.
Can you give me your honest opinion as a basketball trainer, coach and mentor as to whether I’ll be able to dunk if I work my hardest and don’t get injured at all? If I hear the word ‘yes’ from you, I’ll never so much as slightly doubt myself as I know you’re a top class coach. I know it from having purchased your previous programs. What do you think Taylor?
[Reply]
Taylor Reply:
December 11th, 2011 at 5:35 pm
One of my players, Mike, just had a put back dunk in his game a few weeks back. He’s 5’9″. So yes, you can do it. It just takes the right training. Never ever let anyone tell you otherwise. If you want it, take it.

It will only get you past 40 inches if you attack that goal specifically. Is this the best program to help you get there? Yes, obviously I believe it is because I created it. It’s not going to happen without YOU though. And yes, core and upper body are both incorporated. And there are PDFs, videos and audios in the package.

Dear Coach Taylor,
When I go to the gym to do all my workouts it takes me much more than 90 minutes from the BHM, to the SC, to the PS, all the way down to the conditioning part of the workout. I unfortunately got cut from my JV team this year and I am a sophomore using this as an opportunity to train the right way. Is there any way to make my workout last 1.5-2 hours instead of 2-3 hours? Can I also do my physical warm up in the morning instead of before my workouts or will it last that long? Also about the Fusion program when will it come out and will it combine vj, ball handling, scoring, shooting, defense, inner game, and nutrition into a lifelong program?

Hey Taylor,
I’m on the third week of your Vertical Jump Formula, and I’ve already gained 2 inches on my 2 step AND 1 step vertical jump; your expertise in fitness amazes me.
I have a quick and very important question though if you could please help me out.
I was looking ahead in the program, and I was wondering about the weighted work in Phase 2. You said the purpose of phase 2 was to gain a little size, but mainly a lot of strength.
With this in mind, how long should I rest between sets for a typical exercise like “Back Squats 3 x 5″ or “Dumbbell Bench Press 3 x 8″? I read an article that said 3-5 minute rests are more for power lifters who are trying to increase their explosiveness. Does this apply to strength too? Should I apply these 3-5 minute rests to Back Squats only or to all of the weighted exercises? Or, am I suppose to rest for a less amount of time to encourage hypertrophy from certain exercises, which is the process of my muscles getting bigger because of the constant stress from little amounts of rest between sets? Am I supposed to make sure I’m fully rested for the next set?
I’m not trying to get too big; my main focus is to get stronger without gaining too much size and weight (I’m primarily a point guard/secondarily a shooting guard).
Please let me know which option is the best, and thanks a lot for your time.
P.S. – here’s the link of the article I read: http://worldfitnessnetwork.com/rest-between-sets/
