Jacob Hiller developed a Jump Manual that utilizes all the concepts of vertical explosion to train athletes to increase their vertical jump height. The manual is currently available in e book format and in a down loadable program format. Plans are in the making for a format that will work with an iPod, Kindle, or blackberry. What is in the program that makes it so special and wildly successful? Hiller has encompassed all nine aspects of vertical jump training in his manual.
Shock training developed in Russia by Dr. Verdrkhoshansky was the first form if what has become known as plyometrics, or plyos. It was more commonly known in the United States as jump training.
The first application of “jump training” was utilized by Olympic athletes in the late 1960′s and early 1970′s by US Olympic teams. Jump training became popular because for the first time with US Olympic athletes could compete with Russian Athletes, who had dominated the early 20th century Olympic competitions.
The first three aspects of Hiller’s program are (1) stretch, (2) train with speed and (3) strength training. Hiller’s training incorporates the concepts of plyometrics, in these three aspects of his training manual. Plyometrics is the concept developed some 40 years ago that states that the quicker you release the kinetic energy stored in the stretched muscle the greater your results will be. Shock training developed in Russia by Dr. Verdrkhoshansky was the first form if what has become known as plyometrics, or plyos. It was more commonly known in the United States as jump training.
Aspect 4 is Explosion. Explosion in training is used to train your muscles to respond rapidly and forcefully. The more rapidly you train the more you prepare your muscles to respond quickly.
Aspect 5 is effort. Like any training program the more committed you are the better your results will be. Effort that means if you give a wholehearted effort, your results will directly correlate to this effort.
Aspect 6 is schedule. Schedule your training and exercise sessions to be regular and productive. Scheduling time is in relationship to effort. If you truly want results then you need to schedule the time necessary to achieve your goals.
Aspect seven of the training is diet. The way you eat affects the health of your body that includes the health of your muscles. Training requires a good healthy balance diet.
Aspect 8 is focus. Successful athletes will tell to focus on your goals. Staying focused helps you overcome when you don’t feel like working at your goals.
The last aspect of training kind of ties into this. Mentality has to do with having the right attitude when training. Know what you are doing and be positive that it can achieve your goals.
