The Vertical Project: Double Your Vertical Leap is the brain-child of Luke Lowery. Although he is no longer a basketball player, it was at the end of his playing career that he 'happened' upon a system that initially gained him 8 inches in just 3 weeks!

Lowery makes a very bold, but confident statement, regarding his program:

"All-New Vertical Jump Secrets Will Pack On A Bare Minimum Gain Of 8-14 Inches In Just The First 60 Days... Or All-Star Trainer Will PAY YOU $100 Dollars Cash!"

You have to admit, that's one hell of an offer!

So, what do you get for your money with The Vertical Project V3. Well, it certainly is very comprehensive with 3 modules making up over 400 pages of detailed training instructions. The training program cycle is 15 weeks.

The full package includes:

• Module 1: This covers all aspects of your training and UPN.
• Module 2: Covers the recovery process and how it can enhance your vertical leap.
• Module 3: Getting started and how to start seeing results sooner than expected.

Whew, he certainly does pack an awful lot in to his course, but sometimes too much information can be overwhelming. So, is the Vertical Project just full of mumbo jumbo nonsense or is it the real deal?

The Vertical Project has come a long way since Version 1 in 2003. And the man behind it Luke Lowrey is very well known and respected within the basketball community. He has appeared on ESPN, Slam Magazine, and has been interviewed about his amazing vertical leap program by NBA Hall-Of-Famer, Rick Barry on Sirius Official NBA Radio.

The program as already mentioned above is very detailed and covers all the major compenents of any thorough vertical leap training program; training, recovery & nutrition.

The training element is made up of exact rep, set and rest calculations. This is designed to get the most from your training time. In fact is is optimised to you and as such will help you see results quicker than other programs. And within the training time, 3 days are dedicated to the upper body and 3 days to the main leg muscles involved in jumping. With so much time spent in training it could affect your recovery time, so bear that in mind.

The program also shows you how to really max out your vertical leaps by detailed and precise techniques, some old and some new that include; plyometrics, water training, isometrics and a previously unused technique of 'dead start' lifts.

And with you recovery the program goes into great detail through a concept known as the Window Plan. This incorporates a number of different recovery techniques and how the absorption of nutrients, and not necessarily the type of nutrients can help to dramatically increase vertical leap.

The overall methods behind the program allow you to customise it to yourself. And you can pick one of 9 different training routines which can be covered over 3 sets of 5 week training periods.

Although there is a lot packed into the Vertical Project it is well laid out and easy to follow, which is a must given the amount of information and Bonus materials provided. Lots of people are very happy with this system but some have only seen a few inches of improvement.

User comment: “I am 16 years old 5'7'' and 130 pounds. My original vert was 22 inches. I finished the program once and gained 13 inches to get to a 35 inch vertical." Daniel M, Alabama

User comment: "Before the program, I couldn't dream of dunking off of two feet, but I can now dunk off of a drop-step , and my one footed takeoffs are powerful.   My vertical went from about  25" to 30" in a very short amount of time. " Aaron B.,Tennessee

Conclusion
The bottom line is that The Vertical Project is a best seller for a number of reasons, and one of the key reasons is that it's very comprehensive. Given that it's now in it's third version would suggest that it clearly does work. I mean why would you spend all your time and money improving on a product if it wasn't a) selling and b) getting lots of great feedback?

PLUS, with the experience and expertise of Luke Lowery it's hard not to highly recommend this latest version of the Vertical Project. And the final clincher is that if you do buy it then you can take advantage of the 'Double Guarantee'. This means that if it doesn't live p to its claim you can get all your money back AND you'll also receive a nice new $100 bill too. It's a no-brainer really!
