Jump Higher - Increase Your Vertical Jump

I bet you're tired of watching others throw down monster dunks that you can only dream about... and you migh even have been jumping from one vertical program to the next, offering you the same recycled, outdated training, some written by authors who never achieved results themselves!

Sound familiar at all? Well if it does, it's because I used to be you. I was the 6'1" guy who could barely touch the rim, and watched with envy as dozens of kids at my highschool and college threw down dunks that I could only watch on TV.

But then I found a set of training methods so powerful, they changed my athletic ability forever!

And as you read on, you're going to see (just like I did) exactly how the info that's circulated by so called experts online is by its very design, preventing you from increasing your vertical by more than a couple inches EVER!

But the good news is you don't have to be a victim to the marketing hype anymore because I'm going to show you how to avoid all the unnecessary training hype on this very page.

I'm going to expose the major mistakes that are wasting your time, and in the process, hand you a solution that has some of my athletes jumping up to 3 inches higher in the first 14 days... or 7 inches higher in the first 30 days... and keep you gaining an average of an inch each and every week.

If you haven't already, get my Verticalogy email course.You'll get another video presentation like the one above giving you 15 actual drills to help improve your vertical as well as my 10 part video coaching series exposing all the reasons you're constantly struggling to stack inches onto your vertical.

Training intuitively and repetitively is stealing
half OR MORE of your potential gains and
might actually be causing injury...

It's true - there are dozens of different training programs on the internet today... and they're all teaching about 95% of the same stuff... repetitive, 1 or 2 dimensional, cookie cutter training.

Even the few that say they are fully customized either give you the same 2 week workout to rotate through and charge extra for continuing coaching or have every athlete do the exact same workout and only vary the reps. (don't believe me? go ahead and spend the money to check em all out... I already have)

FACT: If you were to be able to go back to the drawing board and somehow forget all the programing that all of these re-hashed websites have told you...

Because the methods I'm going to teach you are ALL backed by independent scientific research and have been proven effective by athletes all the way up to Olympic trainees...

Hi. My name is Matt Stockert... creator of the Athletic Advantage Pro vertical training system.

And over the past 7 years I've had the honor of helping athletes in over 130 countries understand how real vertical jump training works... how to get phenomenal results.

...but the far less glamorous reality of how your body really reacts to particular training.

But that's ok because even though most athletes will never double their verticals, the athletes that tune out the hype and actually listen to me jump higher period... a lot higher!

In fact, in my prime training my vertical I could jump really, really high too. It was impressive.

Now the only reason I get to make these statements is
because I worked my butt off for the right to say them.

You see, I wasn't always able to dunk from a standstill. In fact, my vertical used to be down right pathetic.

But then I got sick of hating how unathletic I was and decided to make steady changes which amounted to over 11 inches improvement in my vertical jump.

And over the better part of the last decade, I've figured out how to make those changes much faster with other athletes.

More importantly, now I help other people
jump higher: I create explosive athletes.

Sure, more explosiveness can lead to more rebounds, faster breaks, and more athleticism. And those are all great.

You want to be able to throw down windmill dunks... or an alley oop over that cocky kid who always pisses you off. Or even just impress the guys (or girls) with your jumping ability... a little hero worship feels good.

I was an average athlete at best for most of high school. I could never do anything exciting with a ball. But when I watched the 2000 Sprite Slam Dunk Contest and watched Vince Carter do a 360 windmill against the grain dunk from a drop step I became obsessed with being able to dunk.

I spent the rest of the year trying to improve my vertical with all kinds of training programs including AIr Alert and Strength Shoes. And yeah, I gained a couple inches... but nothing impressive. My results had stalled.

When one of the guys at school (who of course had a natural 40" vertical) heard that I was training my vertical he tried to embarass me in front of the entire class "hey let's see your ups".

I was on the spot... so with everyone watching, I jumped from under the rim... and missed completely.

I fell to the ground and everyone laughed. I was so embarassed. I even made some excuse about how I hadn't even warmed up yet... but I knew it didn't matter. My vertical sucked.

Have YOU ever felt like you're capable of much more but your body just won't respond?

I'm sure you have - I think we ALL have at one time or another - and it doesn't feel good does it?

It's like you can see yourself rising to the rim or over the net but then when you jump, it feels like you weight a ton.

I watched other guys dunk and it looked like the laws of gravity didn't apply to them.

I dove back in and read every scientific study and book on training explosiveness I could get my hands on. I needed to know why I was different than these other guys and how to even the playing field.

Over the next year I learned everything I could and walked onto my Division II college track & field team as a triple and long jumper. I had no idea how much trouble I was in.

I thought I was an ok athlete until I saw what a real, All-American athlete was capable of. I watched and learned everything I could from these guys but if you've ever been in sport you know there's a lag between learning and being able to do it yourself.

(As a background, the average guy should be able to jump about 10 feet farther (3m) than the average girl in the triple jump at the university, NCAA Div II level. Even the world records are about 10 feet apart.)

At one of the first indoor competitions my college freshman year, I had a particularly bad performance so I cheered on my teammates as they competed.

As the finals rolled around I watched to my horror as one of my female teammates jumped farther than me... twice. (remember: 10 feet)

Now I don't want you to think I'm sexist, it's just a fact that men are physically stronger...

She was gracious about her performance, but a guy and a girl on my squad walked over to me, trying hard to hide the smirks on their faces... and they started to snicker.

I didn't realize it at the moment, but that competition was a turning point that completely changed my life, how I went about training, and how I went about getting what I wanted.

Over the course of the rest of that season I looked at what all the training programs had in common, what all of them seemed to miss and what the studies were showing that weren't reflected in the vertical programs available at the time.

I mean, I knew that all programs worked for some people for at least a few weeks. But none of them worked for most or all athletes, most specifically me, and none of them seemed to address all the areas I knew the human body needed in order to fully develop explosively.

I knew from experience that ALL these programs failed to address at least a couple aspects.

One worked if you were naturally strong but did nothing if for the skinny, reactive guy. And another method worked great for the snappy athlete but was worthless to me (a naturally strong guy).

And it seemed that none of them properly addressed a few key areas: Form training, real nutrition, and true customization based on your body's natural strengths and weaknesses.

The result was a system hitting ALL 8 compulsory aspects of vertical training, effectively incorporating the best of ALL these methods.

Not only does AA PRO give you a well rounded training foundation, over 2200 athletes in all 50 states and 42 countries have shown it to:

Over the course of the next few months, I followed my plan, adjusting and tweaking as needed. And the results came fast.

My measured standing vertical eventually went up from the mid 20 inches... to a solid 36" without a drop step.

That season, in front of my jumps coach, I walked over to the rim... jumped without a drop step......and dunked the ball. I was amazed... And my coach was staring at me like "what the hell was that?!"

Later that week, off of two legs, I touched my head to the 9' 3" ceiling of the training facility's hallway.

And that same year I went on to become a 2x Div II All-Conference triple jumper and top 5 placer in the triple jump at the 2005 Division I Independent Championships in Sacramento, CA.

I learned something very important that season:
It doesn't matter if you've tried bad programs in the past... if you've been promised incredible results and failed... or if you're stuck doing the same repetitive drills without results for months!

For the most part, the information online today is just recycled garbage that the authors don't even know is wrong because they've never actually trained with the methods themselves...

...OR WORSE, they don't base their training protocols on proven scientific studies... just intuition and follow the leader.

If you're going to use someone's training advice, you better make sure they did more than copy free material and release it as a "new and groundbreaking" training program...

No supplement is going to instantly release the LeBron James in you.. trust me, I wish it were true but it's just not.

Building a dominating vertical takes hard work and patience... anyone trying to sell you a shortcut is bending the truth or outright lying to you.

And to make it worse, if you do get a piece of accurate information, it's not guaranteed to work for you because different training works better for different athletes depending on factors like genetics (yes they do play a part), your natural strengths, and the areas you need to improve.

Besides, we all know the first couple inches come easy... it's the next 6" that require methods, backed by real science, proof and past success. Guessers will lose.

The answer is dynamic customization with enough intensity to keep your body in constant adaptation. OUTSMART your body with the 8 aspects of intelligent design to keep you gaining NO MATTER WHAT!

The definition of insanity is doing the
same thing and expecting different results

Look, I know how frustrating it can be to believe in a program and then have it completely fail on you. It's hard to step back and really be honest with yourself.

But if you've been training your vertical over the past weeks or months and haven't seen the bar move up even a little (or only a little) then it's time for a change.

...because every workout in Athletic Advantage PRO can be completed in under an hour.

Guys: Do you want to know how Jarron Gilbert (D-lineman for the Bears) built so much explosiveness, he can jump out of a pool of waiste high water?!

Or how guys at the 2010 NFL combine generated 40 times as fast as 4.28s and standing verticals as high as 44"? You can bet it isn't by taking "jump higher" pills or jumping rope in special shoes.

They pay their highly specialized team of trainers to custom design workouts using multiple training aspects to guarantee their success. They attack their training from every direction and leave nothing to chance! They can't afford to... and neither can you!

Ladies: It's the same for you... you don't need to train differently. If you want to spike an unblockable shot, clear the high jump bar in the upper 5' range or become a powerful, sub 12s 100m sprinter, you're going to have to hit your body with everything you've got.

The competition in the women's arena is becoming just as fierce as in men's sports. It's time to set aside the mediocre and get serious...

So here's the deal: If you're serious about building explosive power... whether it's just a couple more inches to make the team, or 10 inches to completely transform your athletic future, why not use the best and most efficient resources available?

AA PRO is so efficient and effective because I have a bias... a bias against doing anything that doesn't have a specific, identifiable purpose during training. So I guess you could say...

I have a bias against wasting YOUR time...
and Athletic Advantage PRO reflects that bias.

This training manual is 90 pages and not only instantly downloadable seconds after your order, but I'm also going to ship you a HARDCOPY in the mail!

So you can forget printing out an ebook... because its professionally formatted and printed on gloss paper. (valued at $29)

In 10 chapters I cover every topic that you need to know to stack on inches starting as soon as tomorow.

It has absolutely no fluff, is direct and to the point. It teachs you in 90 pages what it takes others 200-400 pages (pages you'd probably never read anyway). It's absolutely the most comprehensive jump manual available.

It's every tool you need to take the shortest distance from where you are now, to your incredible, dunk-on-the-competition vertical.

Here are just a few unique things you'll find in here:

	Learn how the interplay of the 5 different types of strength and power must affect the drills and exercises that will have you jumping higher in the shortest amount of time. (pg. 18)
	My Ultimate 5 pillar recovery plan which short circuits the dreaded "wall" by actively planning your recovery cycle so you don't dig a training hole your body can’t climb out of. (chapter 8)
	I give you 4 winning habits that all my successful trainees have in common which will save you from injury, shorten your training sessions and hand you more functional muscle. (pg. 78)

	I show you how to use the speed power curve to zero in on the 2 training zones required to get stronger, faster, and jump higher… ignoring either one guarantees you'll hit the "wall" after the first few inches. (pg. 23)

And there's SO much more in there... (but this checklist would look pretty ridiculous if it were 25+ items long).

So how much is Athletic Advantage PRO?

The total value of the Athletic Advantage PRO training system is over $297. But because you're visiting this site today, you have the opportunity to get the full 8-component training system $297 package at the special discounted investment of:

Over the course of a single training cycle, that's an investment of less than $0.64 per day...less than the price of a large Starbucks per week!...

If you're obsessed with dunking (or jumping higher for any reason) like I was, this is a no-brainer.

A professional trainer would charge you more than this every week for just 2 hours of his or her time...

If AA PRO doesn't work exactly like I'm
telling you it will it costs you NOTHING!

That's right. I'm so POSITIVE that AA PRO will show you results that I'm putting all the risk on my shoulders. If you don't see results, just email me, show me you followed the training, and ask for a full refund within 60 days.

This is my promise to you. And I can afford to make this promise because I'm that sure that my system is really that good. Remember, I track every athletes results with AA PRO and the statistics show it's a winner.

I don't enter the numbers, athletes like you do... so they're NOT inflated or estimates like other programs' claims.

So you get a full 8 weeks to evaluate AA PRO and see just how quickly you can add inches to your vertical... all at NO RISK to you.

First, the short answer is Yes... you can improve your vertical without AA PRO. But at what cost?

Are you willing to give up the next 5 years using trial and error like I did? or how about spending another couple hundred dollars on programs that are just a re-hash of the last one that failed for you?

Do the same stuff you've been doing... listen to the same free resources online... and spend lots of time testing it all out. Some of it may work for you, but remember the definition of insanity from before?

There is certainly some good information out there but be prepared to put a lot more work (and a much greater chance of failure) into your training... and don't forget this statistic: the average trial and error athlete will gain only about 3 inches before stalling in his or her improvements. How much do you need?

We polled all the athletes who trained with Athletic Advantage before AA PRO and they've averaged 5 inches in the first 5 weeks, and just under 8 inches in the first 8 weeks.

Since AA PRO released, we track 100% of our athlete's results and we're seeing the same pattern.

First, I can be confident in guaranteeing you a minimum of 8 inches of improvement (from untrained levels) because AA PRO is the result of 7 years of refining my strategies and it's essentially YOUR shortest path to a stronger vertical jump.

Second, I'm the ONLY one online with the guts to track 100% of my trainees and put the results up for everyone to see. I can say you will see results because they are the average of what every athlete sees according to their own entries.

I've laid it all out for you here - the same program that's helped thousands of athletes build a vertical they can be proud of.

Cuts, first steps, and quick movements are faster... you feel sharper when you change direction.

Guys are showing off their single handed dunks... but you run up and with one powerful and fluid motion, slam back a windmill off of one leg... and everyone pauses...

They look at YOU with that same "what the hell was that?!" look. No one thought you could dunk like that... and now every time you're on the court, someone asks you to "show 'em something."

Imagine feeling for the first time... being that person you always dreamed of. (actually close your eyes and run it through your head a couple times... seriously)

You're closer to this reality than you think. And you can do it training only 3 to 4 times a week, for less than an hour a session. You won't need expensive shoes, special pills, and you won't have to pay hundreds on worthless supplements (in fact, if you buy supplements now, you'll save the value of investment of this system in the first month training with it).

If you're ready to take your vertical to the next level, please stop thinking about it... procrastination has kept you out of the 40 inch club too long already. If you're not happy with your jumping ability now, that isn't going to change unless YOU change what you're doing and who you're relying on.

P.S. - Remember that with my 60 day, no questions asked money back guarantee there is absolutely no down side for you. If you aren't jumping higher, it costs you nothing. When it works like I know it will, you'll be enjoying the transformed and much more excited you in weeks! Don't you deserve to be the best you can be?

P.P.S. - Young, old, guys, ladies, newbies and frustrated hardgainers... they're all part of our fast growing team. And if you stick with me, there's no reason you can't enjoy average gains of an inch a week too... as always, it's your choice. Make the right one and let's take the next step together!

P.P.P.S. - If you have any questions feel free to shoot me an email at matt (at) athleticadvantage-online (dot) com. I'd love to hear from you before we get started!
