good luck to you on rehabbing your knee, my right one had major problems last year but no money to get it looked at. quite sure it was jumper's knee judging from the fact it's literally about 95% gone and i had nothing done to it, and the fact that i never turned it to begin with. i really really liked these exercises as well
@BigCrockDawg thanks man, the knee is mostly better, i had an adhesion in my right quad area, specifically right above the knee around the vmo/sartorius area and once the chiro who does ART got it out which took many treatments the knee pretty much felt instantly better, and haven't' had the knee pain since then. Still feel a little instability with it and it's not perfect, but no pain
you guys don't have to pay so much money to get vertical jump training programs, all you have to do is take a few minutes to sit down and learn as much as possible about plyometrics, and that you'll find thousands of workouts and you can also make your own workouts
@ih8midgets2k8 i did it while i was having knee pain, hoped it would help get rid of the knee pain so i didn't really test my vert before or after. It was only 7 days though, it's more to get your body properly working more than anything, and then when you are doing that you should jump a little bit higher.
i haven't done the flying in four program yet, once i get rid of my knee pain i am going to start it
Like the video, hip mobility his a huge in becoming a better more complete athlete. I love the PVC pipe substitute for a foam roll. Only thing on that is slow it down a little more, it will be painful but it works wonders. Also were you using a lacrosse ball on the wall for the myofascial release technique? Thats typically what I use. Anyway, what are you fitness goals?
yeh the pvc pipe is better in my opinion, cost me 4.26 and there is more pressure than the regular foam rollers i think so that's better as well, it just kills the first couple of times.
Just a tennis ball, it does the trick, lacrosse ball would be better i suppose, once i get one will try it out with it
@RJaxz 4 inches in 4 weeks is a ton man, and it isn't just plyos. You have the original what?

@gangsterninja100
well this thing was free, can you give me an example of a free workout, and plyos aren't the only thing necessary to do if you want to jump higher

why would p90x plyos get me jumping 6 inches higher, what's so special about them?

how much did your vertical improve after using the program?

my fitness goals
standing vertical 40 inch
bench press 315
pullups 1 with bw added (so if i weigh 160, then 1 pullup with another 160 lbs on me), at least 25-30 reg
pistol squat with 100 lb dbs
squat 450's area,
deadlift high 400's low 500
trap bar dead high 500, low 600's
bf 7 percent (i'm pretty about at that now actually, but need to put on a ton of weight)
i think that covers most of it
