(EMAILWIRE.COM, October 10, 2011 ) Philadelphia, PA -- While some athletes hope and pray for a 40 inch vertical jump, Jacob Miller says this is the lowest common denominator for success when it comes to achieving vertical height. According to Hiller’s website, “Unless your vertical is in the upper 40s to lower 50s you are nowhere near your potential.” Hiller coaches weekend athletes and professional dunkers alike on the art of the vertical jump in his software training program titled The Jump Manual.
On Hiller’s website he answers vertical jump questions that he believes are on the minds of those those struggling to gain more vertical height. One user asks if race has anything to do with vertical jump success, to which Hiller replies, “Muscle fiber, although genetically endowed amounts vary, can always be trained to be more and more explosive.”
Another user wants to know if a weight room is needed to increase vertical jump. Hiller suggests that his vertical jump workout schedule does include room for resistance training, but not necessarily in a fully equipped weight training environment. “I provide exercises you can do with or without a weight room, a weight room is simply a convenient way to provide resistance to muscles,” said Hiller.
The Jump Manual offers a daily workout schedule and chart that shows users how to perform each exercise. He emphasizes that flexibility, balance and recovery are all important aspects of a vertical jump training program. In addition, he gives The Jump Manual users access to a private forum where they can encourage and learn from one another.
