So we surpassed our 30 comment quota on the last blog post, “The Curse of Motivation”…coolness.
NOW, it’s time to get freaky with the good stuff and, as promised, my 3 BEST tricks for you to absolutely crush the “Curse of Motivation” and keep rocking and rolling with your athletic success.
So, let’s get it on:
1. Write a thank-you letter to yourself TODAY
This little trick is all about personal accountability..
I discovered it a few years back when I was actually writing thank-you letters to some friends, and because I’m awesomely weird, I decided to write a thank-you letter to myself. Click here to continue reading

This is something I’ve never really talked about before:
When I was going through my original speed and quickness transformation (the one where I went from super-slow and CUT from my own high school’s basketball team to playing college basketball and getting so darn quick, I was asked to create a best-selling speed and quickness program called “The Truth About Quickness”), I struggled. A lot.
It’s funny now, because when we talk about it or look back on it, it seems so easy, simple and straightforward. And it sort of is..
Ya know, it’s like.. You do these exercises, you do them this often and you do this much of them, and pretty soon, YOU’RE incredibly fast too.
Hope everything’s going well and you’re not only
WORKING HARD towards your goals, but you’re
almost MOVING CLOSER to reaching them
I’ve got some good Q & A here for you in today’s
“Flying In Four Mailbag”, so let’s get to this..
QUESTION FROM A READER: “Hey Alex,
I have a question for you…one of my friends and I were playing
basketball the other day, and he claimed that ever since he had
started walking literally everywhere, that he had been jumping a
little higher every week.
He also claims that he hasn’t been doing any weights or training
lately, just a ton of walking!
What I’m wondering is, can this be true and will it also help me?
Or did he just lose a lot of weight and consequently he happens to jump
higher (or something like that)? I just don’t know!!!!!
I just had a hard time believing that walking, and only walking
could strengthen anyone’s legs enough to bring their vertical leap
higher.
An explanation with your great expertise would be greatly
appreciated!
**QUICK NOTE: BE SURE TO READ THIS WHOLE ARTICLE. SEVERAL IMPORTANT THINGS ARE BEING REVEALED HERE**
So here it is! The exclusive interview I secured for you with Vert Freak 2.0 Creator Adam Linkenauger.
If you don’t know who Adam is, he’s a former National Champion Long Jumper, creator of the Vert Freak System and (DRUMROLL…), owner of a 50-INCH VERTICAL JUMP (one that he TRAINED for, it’s NOT something he was born with).
As you probably already know, Adam has just released the Vert Freak 2.0 System and I’m a really big fan of it, mainly because it has so MANY different vertical jump workouts to follow and reveals several different TECHNIQUE strategies for jumping higher.
These techniques are so special, because they ALLOW YOU to gain anywhere from 2-12 inches in a matter of MINUTES…anyways, Adam’s gonna explain it all below for you, and if you’re ready to check out the newest version of Vert Freak 2.0, check out this link below:
VIDEO IS FOR INNER CIRCLE BETA MEMBERS ONLY NOW. SORRY!
Included in this video for you are the FOUR things you need to be aware of to jump higher..if you can master all 4, you can jump as high as you want. Period.
And in case you didn’t watch the whole video, here’s the deal. On Monday June 28, Flying In Four is be re-released at a special 50% OFF for 3 full days. This is a HUGE event and I don’t know that anything like it will be happening again.
What’s really special about this too is I’m giving you 5 free vertical jump gifts with Flying In Four during the 3-day event (and some of these gifts aren’t just good, they’re friggin’ GREAT).
Talk soon,
Alex
PS – Let me know your thoughts on the video in the Comments Section.
That one formula has TRANSFORMED the athletic careers of TONS of athletes worldwide.
Here’s where you can get your dusty/discounted copy of The Truth About Quickness (nevermind, they’re all gone! But you can read about the Truth About Quickness by clicking HERE).
1. Glutes + Feet = Freak Athlete is a proven formula.
I’ve done my best to guide you in the “how to” of the glutes part of the equation and give you some help with the feet part, but it’s just inherently more complicated…that’s what Kelly and I created “The Truth About Quickness”…
..so you could have a proven resource delivered to you on a silver platter (or in a DVD in this case!).
It WILL show you exactly how to DOMINATE the “feet” part of the equation Glutes + Feet.
2. There are 6 “dusty” copies of TAQ I found for you (update: like I said above, sorry, they’re all sold out!).
These will get picked up VERY quickly. If you want to be a freakishly explosive athlete with incredible quickness and agility and ALSO like saving some money, then get yourself a copy right now before they’re all gone.
3. If you’re not sure about how good The Truth About Quickness is, here’s an unsolicited Facebook wall post I got last week:
Please NOTE that The Truth About Quickness was built and designed for TEAM-sport athletes, like basketball, football, baseball and soccer (or any stop-and-start, high-speed game).
If it’s working THIS well for track athletes, imagine what it does for team sport athletes like you.
Anyways, after that, I sent Sigfried a private message (as you can see in the picture) and he wrote me back this:
“First of all The Truth About Quickness helped me run faster times than ever in my life.
TAQ gave me a brand new way to train and it enlightened me alot because I didn’t know what quickness was until now. And I recommend this to any one out there who like me was a skeptic and was still mediocre, trust me use this and your life and body will change — thank you Alex!
From Sigfried”
Here’s the link where you can learn more of the speed secrets found inside The Truth About Quickness:
Also, here’s a pic of the hip flexor and rectus femoris stretches I talked about in the video. Do each one 2-3 times a day, holding it for 30 seconds each (and notice how similar they are).
So there it is, the BIG myth about explosiveness and power.
If you’re a basketball, baseball, football or a soccer player (actually, any sport that you gotta be super fast and quick for), focus on the main message in the video and watch your results SKYROCKET.
Also, here’s a link I found for you if you want to read a little more about CAT (compensatory acceleration training): Compensatory Acceleration Training.
Remember, that’s the key to gaining BOTH strength and speed at the SAME time.
Talk to you in the Comments Section, right?
Heh,
Alex
PS – If you’re using FireFox and can’t view the video, try Safari or Internet Explorer (we’re getting it fixed for FF users right now!).
And if you have neither, here’s a nifty little page for you to view the video no matter WHAT browser you’re using:
Imagine if you’re an athlete that’s just been focusing on sarcoplasmic hypertrophy all this time…hopefully you’re NOT one of them!
Let me know your thoughts below on the video above, I always dig seeing what you have to say (also, at least 25 comments and I’ll crank out another cool video for you this weekend…please do this, I have way too much fun making these videos!).
And if you have any specific questions, let me know below too, and I’ll do my best to get them answered for you.
But like I said, DON’T get it yet…I worked my Maroko Magic and got him to drop the price just for you guys next week, but don’t worry about that for now, I’m gonna try and get a couple more good videos up for you this week and weekend before then.
There was a list for “Books I Need To Read”, “Place I Need To Travel”, “Things I Need To Do Today”…but the one I used to give the most attention to was “Daily Training Stuff That Needs To Be Done Everyday If I’m Going To Conquer All Of My Goals”.
It’s funny, if you were to go into my childhood room and were somehow aware of my super-secret hiding spots (hopefully not ALL of them though, ya dig?), you’d find stacks and stacks of different ideas of training activities I figured I had to do everyday for MAXIMAL results, most of which were added to the aforementioned list.
Some of those ideas were great and definitely SHOULD be done everyday; others were 3 miles past ridiculous and should never be spoken, written or thought about again.
BUT, going back that long ago all the way up to today, there are still some simple and totally beneficial things that YOU should be doing everyday for your own training goals. Try these:
