Cool, you should see some big gains towards the midpoint of your rest week.  At the latest you will see them at the beginning of the next hard cycle.  The extra work is ok, but only as long as you are doing it a few hours apart from your other workouts.  I made some great gains doing this program and then stacking repeat 200m sprints and 300m sprints tempo style on the other end of the weightlifting days, it didn't hurt anything. 

Yes, this program will really help your elastic strength and eccentric handling in your takeoff leg.  The main differences in the program now is the lifting is more oriented towards singles at 80% on the oly lifts and more eccentric tempo on the squats with explosive concentric phases.  Also I have more single response plyos than straight jump endurance.  You can mix it up a lot though.  I think the key to long term is 2 week block focus, i.e. block 1, strength emphasis, block 2, single response plyo emphasis, block 3 jump endurance plyo emphasis, etc. 

As for exact program specs, pm me and I can get you a new sample if I have some time.  I am writing a book that will be for sale in a couple months when I get the site up that will have a ton of ways to alter this program in it. 

Hey! This program is great, glad you brought it up  and I have fine tuned it a bit over the years since I wrote that article, mostly in terms of adjustments to the strength training format.  You can tune this towards strength training also to help two leg jumping, but then you can't really do heavy plyos on the tuesday/friday.  Gotta replace them with light stuff or fitness like running hills and core circuits and some acceleration development. 

Just wanted to say.... the program is just plyos, but it was the first legit program I used back when I was in high school.  I bought it after I was sick of air alert... It is the BEST plyometric instructional program out there, really well done, and combined with its autoreg setup, you can make some good gains off of it.  Of course there are better programs out there especially those that integrate strength training.  (although there is strength training in the program, you just have to put it in on your own, which I did when I was doing it)

I went from BARELY being able to dunk with two hands to being able to do windmills and 360s off one leg on this program, I think I gained about 5" on my single leg jump in about 3 months time.  I also could dunk for the first time off two legs after using this program. 

I wouldn't really recommend this program in modern times, but when it came out it was the SHIT.  Great plyo resource, and influences a lot of my plyo work today.  I'll be coming out with a cool depth jump instructional video on my youtube site shortly however.... should be within the next week.  So most anything you could learn in that book will be on the video.

Hi, and yes, I'll start a log.  Since I have the summer off, I am totally dedicating myself to jumping higher than I ever have before.  I am also 27 years old, so I had better do that pretty quick

My running two foot vertical was up to 40" last year and standing was 35".  I got up to a 46" or so running last year as measured by head height on the rim.... but those are always goofy measurements based on COM travel compared to a high touch. 

Right now running 2 foot is at 38" again, and I am not sure about the one foot, I haven't really tested it in a while.  I did manage to scissor high jump 6' the last couple years.... weighing way more than a high jumper should!

Taking a break from between sets on my workout today.  I'll let you know how it goes. I also am putting some new stuff on my youtube/jumpscoach214 page, so check it out if you want.
