DVD Reviews of Air Alert: The Complete Vertical Jump Program
DVD Review: Think of principles
Summary: 1 Stars
Air Alert is fundamentally flawed. Developing a strong vertical jump requires a foundation that is based on strength and the expression of that strength which comes through explosive and reactive exercises. Think of strength as the foundation for your home and explosive and reactive exercises as the house itself (which rests on the foundation). Air Alert leaves the first part of the formula(strength)out of the equation. As far as reactive and explosive drills are concerned, the plyometric drills prescribed are not bad per se, but the application is terrible. Training to do thousands of jumps will make you an ENDURANCE jumper not an explosive high jumper. For those of you who don't know, Air Alert makes you do literally thousands of jumps. What's more, without a fundamental base of strength, all the plyometrics in the world will not have you significantly increasing your vertical.
If you look at the "studies" that Air Alert has conducted you will notice that the participants are under 15 years old. Any athlete that young will notice an increase in his vertical by simply growing and becoming naturally stronger. That's how garbage programs like this can claim some sort of success. You can see some results from Air Alert but that's likely due to not being a trained athlete (anything is better than nothing. The point is, if you follow Air Alert to the tee you will not see great results or at least not the results you could from a program that has sound principles. It's also worth noting that the high volume of jumps can be a danger on your joints.
To summarize, to jump higher you must have a strong base of strength, (think squats) and express that strength in explosive and reactive ways (plyometrics and hang cleans for example). Air Alert fails at both ends.
I have used Air Alert and saw minimal gains. I switched over to the Jump Manual and have seen great results. I have also read and would recommend the Vertical Jump Bible or a free site, called "Free to Fly" [...]. I point out that the creators of Jump Manual, Vertical Jump Development Bible and Free to Fly all have pictures and/or videos of them dunking whereas the creator of Air Alert, Timur Tukel, has a bio talking about how he wants to sell this jump program to your kids.
Jumping around all day three times a week won't help you dunk a ball. Strengthening your legs and expressing that strength will. Don't waste 15 weeks of your life on this.
