What program is good for me??

i donno who told you that abt not liftin but your 20000% wrong .. hit the gym dont try to be a body builder, lift for strength ... find a weight program cuz ur body is gettin too used to body weight programs

what program did you used to increase your vertical leap???

The main reason why you have stopped gaining is because of the quadricep to hamstring strength and tension equillibrium. Basically you have to much strength and electrical flow through the muscles that contract on the uppward portion of the jump (concentric), and not enough in the muscles that contract on the lowering portion (eccentric).

Download this PDF, go to page 23, and follow the 21-Day Program. From the way it sounds you already bought The Vertical Project, just measure your UPN's for the Day 6 Workout!

After that, buy this program - best on the planet - guaranteed!

i did a number of theem .. Phi Slamma Jamma , Dr Squats,Bigger Faster Stronger, Scott's Creation... just find something that works everything, it should be a weight training program that incorporates some plyos and stabilization and sprinting in there as well .. but really if you just pin point your weaknesses and start to train that part a little more...
for example if u do alot of squats and deadlifts in the gym then its more likely that you have weak hamstrings... the reason i use this example is because i've seen many of the new programs out on the market and they dont really target that area ... so that being said, find your weakpoint and train them a little more then the areas u are already dominant in

I didnt mean you'd automatically have weak hamstrings, but i mean they'd more likely be weakER

the jump soles works on your calf muscles ability to jump. now you hava to make sure you keep the strength in you calves. and increase the dtrength in you quads and hamstrings. you can do squats but not heavy though. especially since you haven't lifted before. use low weight and high reps(20+). squat jumps with no weight. try this and post your results after 6 weeks.

I think you guys should look at the posts and the convo that me and TrainerJ have been havin. I'm a trainer in Boston I've tried a lot of the same programs that are out there, and most of them can give you some basic ideas and good plyos to do, but if your like most people that I've worked with, you don't have the true basic strength and understanding on how to do high intensity plyometrics, and don't have the basic strength to do the speed squats, or box squats, or use jumpsoles. I don't say that to call people out, or to tell them they are weak but I've been there I've used jumpsoles, I practically wrecked my knees, not because its a bad program, but just because I never had the adequate strength to even know how to do a box jump correctly. The reason you platuea is your body completely adjusts and isn't forced to adapt anymore, you need to figure out a progressive program, and make sure you don't have underlying strength imbalances. Justin just to mention to you, I don't think there's anything wrong with doing heavy squats, once you get past 10 - 12 reps, you've completely fatigued your type II B muscle fibers, (fast twitch explosive) and you'll start strengthening your slow twitch which isn't going to help anyone jump higher.

Gotta hit the weight room. Squats just send you vert into overdrive, and the beauty of it is, you dont have to go with heavy weight and hurt yourself.
And if you are going for a great program
