Positive Air Alert Feedback

(burlington vermont)

I have completed this program before (not just 2 weeks like others are posting) and I went from barely dunking to dunking 2 handed off of 2 feet. I am doing this program for a 2nd time and again I am finding great results.

I don't think people understand what this program is and why the sets/reps are designed the way they are. Do you understand muscle fibers, fast twitch/slow twitch and why plyometrics work, what they are and how they are to be performed. I have my degree in sports medicine and understand this stuff fully.

It works, just do it correctly No offense to people who "hurt their toes or have other overuse injuries" such as anterior compartment syndrome or stress fractures but it's not Air Alert that is the problem. There is ample rest time in between days of exercise.

VerticalJumping.com Response: Hi Joe, firstly congratulations on your results. We love to hear about athletes improving their vertical jump. Great stuff.

However, in response to your post we also understand muscle types and the difference between fast and slow twitch. Fast twitch are more powerful but they run out of energy very quickly. Slow twitch cannot produce anywhere near the same level of power, but the can keep going for extended periods of time.

The huge number of reps in Air Alert is without any doubt what so ever training the slow twitch muscles more than the fast twitch ones.

There are also way too many people who have injured themselves using this program for it to not be Air Alert. Jumping is hard on the joints, doing 100's of reps is very hard on the joints. Too much leads to injuries.
