I am very proud to announce the release of my first full length book, “Vertical Foundations”, the first book ever to go into total detail on the physiology and technique of all types of vertical jumping, along with training implications and samples. Along with a total biomechanical analysis of standing and running jumps off one or two legs, this book has some unique chapters with information you won’t find anywhere else, such as:
- The differences between speed and force dominant jumpers, as well as individual training implications (different types of jumpers will never realize their full potential unless they address their weaknesses, while maximizing their strengths in the long term).
- A complete biomechanical breakdown of running two leg jumping, and special strength training implications.
- Never before seen graphs of my laboratory work, highlighting the differences in force production in one and two leg jumpers, as well as training implications for maximal development.
- A full matrix of technical, plyometric and barbell training methods for single and double leg jumps for each of the four phases of jumping.
- Specific sample training programs for one and two leg jumping
- And much more!
This book marks almost 9 months of writing, designing, and editing, and is based on over a decade of my coaching and training experience, as well as my time as a researcher.
It has been hard purposefully holding off writing articles on much of this material, but it is my goal for those who own this book to have in their hands the latest and greatest info regarding vertical jump methodology.
