TESTIMONIALS: “I recommend the Jump Manual to any athlete who is serious about maximizing their quickness and vertical explosion. I have seen the program work time and time again. It’s an intense regimen but there are tremendous gains to be had.” – Brandon Peterson Former Strength and Conditioning Coach from Utah Valley University. “I tried everything man! Air Alert, Strength shoes, plyos you name it I tried it. Your program made sense and I gave it a shot. I gained 13 inches in in 12 weeks and now I can 360 dunk with 2 hands. Every time I play people always notice. I recommended to our coach that the whole team does the work-out cause i’m also a whole lot quicker. Seriously… Thanks!” – Wayne Kansas City, Missouri “What I was most surprised about the training program was how little time it took each day to get those kind of results. 2 weeks after doing the training I was jumping higher. I was quicker and dunking easily. My training will never be the same and I would recommend without hesitation to all my team mates. Thanks again.” – Stephen W Ontario, Canada “Hi Jacob, I showed your workout to my coach (former coach of the Czechoslovakian National team volleyball) and he told me it looks good, but if I wont get any results in the first month, then i have to stop. Ive done your workout for two weeks now and Ive already gained 3 inches!! If I continue doing progress like that, I can move from libero to an outside hitter. Thanks man.’ – Toni Burri Lucerne, Switzerland “Hi Jacob, I’m 19 years old and i’ve been playing basketball all my life. When I was eighteen I reached a plateau on my vertical jump, no matter how much I trained or all the exercises my coaches gave me, I couldnt go an inch higher. I was stuck at a 32 inch vertical. After reading your program and doing the exercises for just two weeks I’ve increased my jump 5″ already, your approach to vertical jump training has already given me a great advantage and I hope it will continue doing the same. Thanks man!” Att. Patrick” For more testimonials: http://www.jumpmanual.com The Jump Manual

First practiced by the dominant Eastern Bloc athletes of the 1970s, today plyometrics has become a mainstream form of training used by serious athletes around the world. The reason is that plyometrics offers athletes at all levels a proven, straightforward way to enhance their athletic abilities and to get an edge on the competition.

This second edition of Jumping Into Plyometrics presents 100 illustrated plyometric exercises in seven categories:

- Jumps-in-place

Excellent for both recreational and elite athletes, the exercises can be used to improve quickness, speed, and jumping ability while also helping to develop better coordination, body control, and balance.

This edition includes the latest research on plyometric training, a new layout with a much-improved format for drills, and sidebars on star athletes who have benefited from plyometrics. Plus, author Donald Chu–who has worked as a consultant for the United States Tennis Association and for teams in the National Football League, Major League Baseball, and the National Basketball Association–gives you instructions and examples of how to choose from the wide selection of exercises to build the ideal plyometric training program for your chosen sport.

The Jumping Into Plyometrics Video then shows your athletes how to perform 21 core exercises found in the book. Using slow motion, freeze frames, and graphics, the video demonstrates, in detail, how each exercise is executed. It also explains techniques for adjusting the intensity levels to make the exercises appropriate for any caliber of athlete.

Sport-specific applications and objectives are provided for each exercise so you can use plyometrics for training regimens in a wide variety of sports.
