Hey Guys

Hey guys, my names Clinton and im a 22 year old from Perth WA. Came across this site as im very much into my basketball, lifting, vertical jump training, as well as health and nutrition.

A little about myself, I have been playing ball for about the past 5 years, and it has just been in the past year that I have dedicated myself to training hard on a daily basis for it. I have also been interested in increasing my vertical jump and have trained that for the past 2 years roughly (im not too sure when i started), and i will give a shoutout to VJB and Vert Mastery as the two programs that I have found help me suceed in increasing my vertical.

I would average training for basketball close to 20hrs a week. Im very focussed and determined to be the best I can be, and im looking at trying out for one of the local rep teams when i fly back to perth (im currently in the goldcoast).

When it comes to basketball and vertical jump training and all aspects of the sport and jump training in general i try and engage myself in as much knowlege as possible. I have also decided that starting next year I will be going back to university (i already have a degree in human resources and management) to start a degree in health sciences, to get me on the way to becoming a dietitian and then sports and conditioning coach, as well as get my hands dirty in some personal training, as well as writing my own articles about athletic performance.

Now for the important thing my stats;
Before i started vertical training i was barely grazing the rim  once in 20 jumps off one foot jump. No where close off two feet. Currently:
Height: 6'0
Weight: 178 pounds
Bodyfat: Never Tested but well below 10%
Standing Vertical: Roughly 28inches while recovering from ankle injuries. Currently on deload after finishing program will test end of week.
Running Vertical (2 foot): Last test 34 Inches (during injury plus heavy training). Will test after deload
Running Vert (1 foot): Last test 31 Inches. Test after deload.
Squat: Currently 4reps of 130kg (286 Pounds)
Deadlift: Currently 4reps of 160kg no straps (352 pounds) with straps roughly 4 reps 175kg
Clean: 3reps 70kg


Happy to be a part of the family here and you will all start hearing from me soon!!!

nice, what kind of gains did you get on each program? curious? (edit: pretty much summarized it below).

When you can have a positive impact in athlete's (or whoever) lives & help them reach their goals, it's a very rewarding field.

really nice stats, especially considering the ankle injuries.. what kind of injuries are they?

that's some serious progress from barely grazing rim originally, to now.. congrats.

Cheers mate for your comments.

I honestly couldnt tell you exactly how much I gained from each program, i only just started recording verts since starting vert mastery. VJB got me to being able to grab the rim off one and two feet. I have done two complete 10 week cycles of vert mastery. After first cycle standing went up by about 4 inches, one foot by about 4, 2 foot by about 3 or 4. These are all listed as my current jumps. All while playing alot of ball, and really only 8 weeks of hard training and 2 weeks of deload. Very happy with the Vert mastery program, really gets you focussing on your weaknesses. As i said will do a test probably monday to record results for the second cycle i just finished.

The ankles are like left grade 2 sprain and right grade one sprain. I was running on the right one like 2 days later due to the HEM method. Cant believe how good a treatment plan is, much better then R.I.C.E . They are pretty much close to  fully healed now. I pretty much didnt miss any game time or training (which was probably stupid) too, however obviously my jump suffered. I just started to dunk before i did my left ankle (first to roll), so we will see. Gotta learn how to palm the ball again to...

I always keep my own personal logs written down in textbooks, as well as on excel charts on my computer. I will start a journal when i get home and back into another cycle.

By the way, nice dunks mate.
Catcha soon
