May 19, Power Vertical Update

Wed, 19 May 2010 13:24:01 GMT

Just a quick update to the un-reviewed jump programs. I have removed Power Vertical from my 'DO NOT BUY' list. Jay Bryce, the creator of Power Vertical previously was partnered in the creation of Get Max Vertical (A program I actually quite liked). However he then went out on his own with Power Vertical. When I originally reviewed Power Vertical I found it was largely identical to Get Max Vertical and as such I couldn't with good conscience suggest anyone buy it. However, Jay has sorted out his situation with his old business partner and Get Max Vertical is no longer available. Jay has also updated Power Vertical (rather flatteringly on some of the suggestions I had in my original review). With all that said, I think it is safe to say that Jay Bryce and Power Vertical is now one of the better programs. I am glad Jay sorted out his previous issues and wish him all the best with the new program. Jack Woodrup VerticalJumping.com

It isn't perfect because I know a lot of people liked the detail I put into the reviews, but it will have to do. Regards Jack Woodrup VerticalJumping.com

Oct 25, No Article This Week

Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:11:56 GMT

Hi Everyone I am not writing a new article this week as I am editing some videos and testing like crazy for Vertical Mastery. After Vertical Mastery is released I hope to be able to get back to focusing on providing more regular site updates for you. Also I hope no-one got conned into buying TVP for $1 this weekend. If you did contact your credit card company immediately because you will be getting charged $59.95 per month from now on until you manage to cancel. Take Care Jack PS - The new videos will be up in exercise library probably by mid this week. There are a couple of fun ones in there as well as a few re-shoots of some I didn't like.

If he can get it back to me in time for testing this weekend I am confident it will be available next weekend! Don't hold me to that though because I have been optimistic before. Sorry for the delay once again but I assure you - it is worth the wait. Regards Jack Woodrup www.verticaljumping.com
