I'll bet they used to static stretch in warm up too? That was wrong. The aim here is to improve speed by increasing concentric muscle force.This is simply too slow a way of producing force to produce the best max vel results so you end up with is a long ground contact time. Sprints coaches nowadays (ones that keep up with research at least...) realize the body generates much greater forces much more quickly through reflex actions. This May help accel, but not max velocity.

Message to amsp83: At this point in time we have over 70 percent of NFL teams, 55% of NBA teams and over 70% of major Division 1 Universities using Vertimax V8 systems. That's quite a few pretty good strength coaches to fool on a gimmick don't you think? Can you tell me where you have trained on a V8 system before? I'm curious because most people that make comments such as these have never stepped foot on or off a V8 system before and are thus completely unqualified to make such a comment.

Expensive gimmick. Read Bosch instead.

@shc1818 I Agree with everything you said relative to the major drawbacks training with conventional elastic bands! Only issue I have is that the V8 system was designed to eliminate virtually every issue you have with elastic band training. Bands never go slack on a V8 - Athlete is fully loaded in the squatted position for vertical training and hip flexors fully loaded when explosive movement is initiated. Type in "Best power and speed training workout" in Youtube and watch that video.

.....Furthermore, trying to improve vertical with rubber bands which provide resistence at the end of the motion is just crazy. All power potential is at bottom of motion when muscles are in extension. Do depth jumps from 24- 36 inches depending on age and size, and land in a good squat position with hips back. And only do 3 reps per set. with plenty of rest between sets. Don't do them too often because they're more intense than you think.
