Vert Shock Review – Jump Higher in 8 Weeks
There are a lot of vertical jump training systems around and many of them work. The real question is what kind of program are you looking for. At least for me, when I was looking around, that was an important part of my decision making.
I was sure that I didn’t want to use any of the fancy equipment. I’ve been lucky enough to see some of my friends use them and was able to borrow a few of those for short periods. They didn’t work for me.
I was also sure I didn’t want to do thousands of jumps to see an increase in my vertical leap. I’ve injured my knee before during a game and it took a few months to fully heal so I don’t want to be sidelined by something like that again.
In the end, I did choose Adam Folker’s Vert Shock System. In reality the system is a collaboration between Adam Folker who’s a pro baller and his buddy Justin Darlington, who many consider as the best dunker in the world. If you think that’s an overstatement, you might want to see the video below.
The reason I chose the program was I knew that the people behind it were real jumpers and dunkers and not just someone trying to scam me. The 3 other things that made me choose Vert Shock in the end was:
The program was only 8 weeks long. Two months is a long time, but compared to other jump training programs this was one of the shortest. I have issues focusing my attention and the longer things go the more distracted I get to looking at other things. So I thought this was best for me.
It did not force you to do lots and lots of jumps. This was one of the more important points for me. I didn’t want to over train or injure myself. And making hundreds of jumps can do that to your joints. So I was going for quality not quantity.
There was no weights needed. I don’t have a gym at home, and don’t have a gym membership. I wanted to be able to do a program where I didn’t have to travel far to train. This will also work better if you’re still growing and are afraid weights might get in the way of your height potential.
8 Week Results and Looking Back
The entire system consisted of an 8 week schedule. I made sure that I found a 2 month period where I knew I not only had the time to do the exercises religiously but also be able to eat and rest properly. I wasn’t taking any chances that things can get in the way of my training and derail any potential gains.
In the end, I’m very happy, actually ecstatic is a more appropriate word about my results. In total, I gained 9 inches in my vertical leaping ability.
Before doing the program I could get to the rim with the ball but when I tried dunking I’d only be able to back rim it. At the time I thought it was because I could not palm the ball. But after the first 2 weeks of training I was able to legitimately dunk it. So it have a vertical height issue.
A lot of my gains came early, I guess the system “shocked” my body. Close to 7 inches came before week 5 was done, with the rest in the remaining ones. Maybe I got cocky and didn’t train as hard in the end after seeing nice gains early. I’m not sure.
Comparing with the other reviews and testimonials from those who used Adam Folker’s system, my gains were still quite modest. Most on them saw 9 to 15 inches improvements in their vertical jumps.
