For your own vertical project, you want to maximize your training program to get results fast. How do you do this? Easy. By developing and following your own vertical project. To get the cutting edge of advantage over the other guy so you can jump higher, spike better, or run faster, you need a good solid program of plyometric training.

By training 3-4 times a week, with plenty of rest in between, you can develop your power in your legs. A good program would consist of skipping, to develop coordination and strength – hey, even boxers skip! – running, for your cardio, and weight training.

Try skipping for about 15 minutes, then building this up to 20 minutes, nothing faster, just good solid form. Don’t cheat by stepping each foot, jump both feet at a time, to get a better workout.

For your cardio, its better to alternate. Run one day, and do your weights the next. This benefits your body in two ways: one, you can get a chance to recover, and two, you get a better workout by concentrating on different parts of your body at different times.

For your weight training, try high weight with low reps. You want to build explosive power, but not get bogged down because you are getting too bulked up and slowing down. Remember: you are not going to see results over night, but you will see results. Work out with a friend to make it easier and so you can challenge each other. Good luck!
