I think Maroko is running this trial which you can try the EBH for $1 for 14 days, then you decide if you wanna pay for the rest and keep it or not.  Sounds cool to me.

someone knows what happened to it? i mean i can't get on his site flight-right.com anymore.

Hey guys, so many people say that correct jump form is very important, and the correct squat form is important. but what are the correct forms for them? what is a correct jump form and a correct squat form???
also is the correct squat form necessary for body-weight squat?

get all the better basketball dvds and work on mastering the drills. Get the jason otter jump rope dvd and work through that. Do the begginers plyometric program and bodyweight program in VJB. Do some pushups, pullups, chinups, inverted rows, planks, glute bridges.

thanks for your suggestion
i have never used any of those so i think they might be helpful. but for the basketball shooting, i heard the Better Shooting teaches you a squared-stance which i feel really uncomfortable and hard to shoot. i used to shoot like that with the elbow under the ball and stuff and i was a horrible shooter. i am now using the Swish method from Tom Nordland and I am shooting like i never did before. i really like it. it teaches you an open-stance which feels very comfortable and natural. Not trying to be advertising but just suggesting it's a great shooting guide and i recommend it to everyone who wants to improve their shooting.

thanks a lot for your replies.
ok, so I don't need to use any of the programs and do any weight-trains?

I think, at your age, you should just enjoy the game. But if you really want to improve right now, either use bodyweight exercises or do barbell stuff CORRECTLY. Which is very hard because you need to get really lucky to find someone who can teach you to do squats etc CORRECTLY.

Also, at your age the discipline factor isn't very developed so you can get bad habits that will be hard to convert back into "good habits" later in life. So you need to be really careful.

24 inches at 14 years old is not bad at all.

So there is a 'correct form' even for stuff like squatting??  I didn't know that. So what kind of bodyweight training should i be doing now? i am currently doing some push-ups and crunches. is there some others you would recommend?

I am not so sure what my vertical is. I can't touch the rim. There is this guy in our team who is shorter than me and can touch the rim. he is so athletic(fastest eighth-grader in our school, really buff) but not skillful (All he does in basketball is just get the ball close the basket and get up to the rim with his quickness and strength) but the coach really likes him. so i just want to improve as much as i can. i was thinking about be able to dunk in my freshman year. to me, working on vertical jump i think would not just make me jump higher but make me a much faster,stronger,explosive athlete in general, which i am far away by miles.

skills>vertical by miles

just pump fake the big men who disagree with that

I agree with what you are saying. But is just happens my athleticism is really dragging me down.

You could probably get decent gains from just playing hard in your sport (not inducing huff-puffing runs, just sprinting back on D, jumping as hard as you can for the ball, power stuff like that would induce vert gains). Don't overdo running for cardio, since that won't help your vert. Go hard and go powerful.

Ok, But what do you mean not running for cardio? isn't running like a cardio exercise?
