Air Alert II
Becky
I lost it....Sooo. I was wondering if anyone out there had it on their
computer and if they could post it here or perhaps email it to me. That
would be a huge help.
Thanks alot,
Beck

Air alert III is where it is AT. Kapow!

Jump Attack is the way to go. Except it requires lifting, which I know
a lot of people are opposed to.

inches. air alert guarantees 8 - 14 inches in 15 weeks. anyone out
there do the entire program and gain this much on their vertical leap?

Yes. I did both in succession, and gained almost 29 inches of
vertical. The results have been truly amazing.

Here is Air Alert III, what does the availability of Jump Attack look
like? Like Patrick here, I don't mind the weights, I actually prefer
them.

far, FAR too many repetitions in its programs. Not only does this, no
matter where it is done, wear out or injure your knee cartilage, but it
also does NOT aid the development of athletic ability, only endurance.
If you want to do plyometrics to improve athleticism, do some of the
exercises for maybe 10 seconds consecutively, then rest until you
aren't tired before doing the next 10-15 second set. If you start
slowing down, STOP. You are no longer working your fast twitch
muscles. If you want the endurance, do track workouts.
The advertised gains from air alert are from people who had done no
sort of prior activity and who gained either just because it was their
first experience doing anything athletic or they just learned to jump
or run properly. They could have made the same gains doing anything.

week, I don't know that it has helped my vert all that much--as I
didn't actually measure my vert before I started. I also might just be
reading the disc a little better than I was 3 months ago. But what I
can say is that I still feel like it is totally worth it simply because
of the conditioning on my legs. I'm not opposed to weights at all, but
it is much easier and convenient for me to walk out on my back deck to
jump for 30 minutes than drive over to the gym to lift. Another added
bonus is that my ankles are stronger. I've twisted them way too many
times playing soccer over the years and actually spent the entire 2k6
college season playing with braces on both ankles. All the jumping reps
have done wonders for my ankle stability. Also, I don't feel like my
knees are any weaker or have been damaged from all the jumping. Only
two of the five main workouts are knee intensive. The rest focus more
on the calves. I've also never had knee problems and this workout isn't
causing me to start feeling that kind of pain.
Regardless, I've still got two more weeks to go--including week 15's 4
days of absolute hell and I feel like it has been quite beneficial to
my person. The half hour or so it takes me to do the workout is much
easier than going through the hassle of getting over to the gym. And my
legs are in much better shape than they were 13 weeks ago. I still
can't really say weather or not my vert has increased all that much,
but how can anyone say that better conditioning is a bad thing?
In summation, Air Alert III is sweet--though not necessarily for the
increased vert. I'm more impressed with the improved conditioning of my
legs than anything else. And I'm happy that my ankles are a good bit
stronger than when I started.

He was apparently head coach of UNT's men's volleyball team when he
wrote this. I've never seen Air Alert before but the reps are a lot
lower for this one.
I always mean to measure my vert during but always forget after a few
weeks. Still, at 5'5", every inch counts.

conditioning has as much if not more to do with ultimate than top speed
and jumping ability. Air Alert may have that effect. But as I was
saying, its not even the best, most efficient, or safest way to
condition yourself. If you spent all the time you spent on Air Alert
doing sprints, jumping rope, and doing just some cone drills, you would
be in as good or better shape than you are right now. I'm not
guaranteeing Air Alert is going to injure everybody. But I bet you it
has a pretty poor history of injury risk to effectiveness ratio.
Will you be a better player if you do Air Alert vs. nothing? Of
course. A better player doing Air Alert rather than some other type of
conditioning? I doubt it.
But y'know. Everyone do what you want. Free will and all that.

seriously,
how many of you have actually finished the 16 week course?
it's difficult and near impossible during an actual season factoring in
track, throwing, and practice time. without injury due to overtraining,
of course.
if you're doing the program because you actually think you'll gain xxx
inches on your vert. then you're delusional. those claims are aimed at
13 year old boys with lots of potential, not your average early to late
20's ultimate player looking for the extra edge. (please holster your
heckles towards me please)
the program is exceptional at building a strength base during the off
season, or ramping into a high impact phase. it is especially effective
in engaging muscle groups that people often don't use due to their
stride style or turnover rate (legs not turfs, or drops).
the first 8 weeks are very reasonable and gains are often seen if you
follow the program strictly.
gains meaning a subjective explosivity, or decrease in nagging injuries
due to muscle imbalance (i.e. patellar tendonitis or IT problems
depending on the muscles involved).
i like to give each set of reps two weeks and plan for the slower,
steady 4 month ramp up into tryouts. but i tend to overtrain so your
plan may be different. of course, you have to read your body and take
appropriate weeks off, especially with injury or breaks in the regimen.
there is/was a pretty strong following in Seattle that was gaining
steam this summer. be prepared to see some explosive college players
coming out of the area this spring.

helped me quite a bit. To give it numbers I may have gained about 5
inches based on basketball maneuvers. I also just felt more explosive
on the field. They also have the Proprioceptor add on that helps with
the balance muscles especially ankles.
Idaho, you know about male bodies. You think I should start doing this
stuff again with that back and knee surgery. The knee I think is
fine, but what do you think about my low back discs? Use your
Opthalmology on this one.
Oh and since I have nothing to do, to explain my "no lifting is lame"
comment, as long as you lift smart whats wrong with a little extra
strength and padding for your layouts.
