AirAlert to help with vert

**Nicky B** · 06-07-2005, 12:13 PM

I came across this on the internet and have heard that it really does work. Just wondering if anyone as used it with success and did you gain inch wise for your vert. Because I'm only like 2 inches from dunking a basketball. Because I'm kind of tall at 6'1.

if u use airalert and a weightlifting program that u work out your legs 2 times a week u will see amazing results...when i was in highschool i did a program like this for 8 weeks my vert improved by 4 inches

Finally an answer thanks but I was thinking of using it for the full 15weeks of the program with some AS and weights to help get more results. Anyone else.

air alert works awsome, i used it and noticed a difference in my vertical in 3 weeks, a friend of mine who was 6'5" used it for the full 12 weeks and could drop step dunk after he was done. He is now playing in a university. The program works amazing it will also make your first step a lot quicker. I say do it, i am going to gaurantee that you'll be able to dunk after if you only need two inches. Good luck bro

It's really overrated. Polymetrics with olympic style lifter would be much more effective.

Try this program you will be pleased with the results, not only will your vertical increase, but your quickness will also.

What you gain like 4inches or so?

**clampitt** · 07-19-2005, 11:32 PM

if you never experimented with this program or others you should gain ATLEAST 5 inches.

**chest6** · 07-30-2005, 01:50 AM

I gained 3 from it..I could tomahawk 2 hands pretty easy afterwards...from being able to barely 2 hand

Hi,
I first dunked at 5'10" and I'm a white boy. I only got there cause almost EVERY day I tried to dunk. I guess practice makes perfect. I used ankle weights every now and then, but not often. I also went from dunking right handed off the left foot to dunking with two hands off two feet and also one hand off two feet. For some reason, off two feet felt better in the end. In my prime I could also dunk from a standing start, mind you by then I was 6'2" or 6'3". I could also touch the top of the black square on the backboard on the rare occasion.

HOWEVER, now, at 25 I've had two knee reconstructions, so I wouldn't be too hung up on trying to fly too high. I'm in my second season back after 6 years off and I'm a better all round player now cause I don't rely on my jumping. Good luck.

I did the first one is middle school, first dunk was my freshman yr in high school, at around 6'1". I only went to week 7, then i always did week 5 three times a week while in the off season. My vert when i started was 24.5 and my senior yr, it was 34.5. But id say 30% of that came from intense weight training with the coaches. Im 22 now 6'4" around 250 and can still dunk just about anyway i choose.. Its a great program, but it caused some tendintis in my knees.
