I don't use the app, so I'm not sure. It displays your vertical jump in real time. Right when you land you'll see the number.

You can use this app if your phone has an accelerometer (which most phones would now):

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nkhrynui.ca.uwaterloo.csclub.verticalleap

It's decently accurate I think. Haven't really tested it extensively. It is kind of annoying unless you have one of those arm bands or waist bands to hold your phone while jogging.

If I had $125 to burn I'd get one of those devices, maybe. With these sort of things I always come back to the same conclusion though: as cool as it sounds it's a lot simpler, easier and more accurate to just use the good old [highest rim/wall touch - standing reach].

thanks undoubtable. you need a nickname btw. doubty, maybe. billy. shut up, it's friday,

not gonna put up the whole schedule but basically it's a training-camp-style approach, with workouts nearly every day and some two-a-days. priorities are improving trunk strength and doing lots and lots and lots of jumps.

- every day: prehab/activation, jumps, trunk/hip strength, stretching
- 3-4x/week: lifting focus on speed squats and p-chain, lots of jumping
- 2x/week (but lowest priority): various sprint variations

i'm also going to cut a bit of weight/fat, targeting 169 and 30" waist again.

Damn I like your block a lot, if you get that going consistently for some weeks, I bet you'll have 37" in the bag. Are you gonna have a main strength lift for your p-chain development? Also when you say "trunk strength", is that like core stability? If so, what do you think is a good core exercise that has specificity/carries over well to RVJ? I've been trying to figure that out forever.

trunk strength means core strength, yeah. as far as exercises, i'm basically going to do a lot of leg raises and decline sit ups.

main p-chain exercises are BB hip thrusts and deficit DLs on lifting days, and prone leg raises and kickbacks almost every day.
