If that is the case why are there so many football players who do well in ncaa track. It is because they have the strong muscle mass from football season and they can translate it to power on the field or the track. But wow if there is anyone who can even handle doing plyo more than 3 times a week with out pains good for them. It is silly the amount of people who think muscle will slow them down.

Unless you've personally injured yourself with Air Alert, I want people to stop advertising this claim as if this is what will happen when you follow this program. The number of people who actually injure themselves using Air Alert injure themselves because they don't follow the program exactly as they're told, especially in terms of stretching and warm-up. The number of people who do injure themselves using Air Alert while actually following the instructions of the program word by word is almost nonexistent. There are a few of these people out there, but at the same time you have to remember that you shouldn't be starting a vertical jump program if you're very out of shape. So if you're 50 pounds over-weight, then maybe vertical-jump training isn't for you - yet. Also, despite what any program tells you to do, including Air Alert, you should know your limits. If you're feeling your knees are starting to hurt, then you should immediately stop doing any program that you start. So, if a person decides to run through an Air Alert session despite having knee pain, and then ends up getting injured, does the person blame the vertical jump program, or him or herself for trying to force the issue. Truly, its an issue of responsibility and judgment. Vertical jump training was never meant to be easy, so a person should really know his limits, and make sure to not go over them.

I'd like to hear you expand a little on the time under tension, and also what the powerlifters, would call max effort days and dynamic days, and figure out how to fit them in programs. As I've said on a few forums, I have a huge issue in front of me of losing a ton of weight before I can ever consider reaching my athletic goals (dunking), which is different from some young athletes who need to gain so much muscle. Last thing, that I've been working on is increasing my base strength to improve my plyos, (depth jumps specifically), any input would be great. To Clayvon, Air Alert is a lot of plyos, I've heard a few stories of people getting injured doing them because they don't incorporate weight training at all. Hey Alex,

I presently run 11.20 sec over the 100m and 22.29 over the 200m. What can i do to develop more blazing speed that does not cost money as i have recently been made redundant. You seem to be the man in the know ( so to speak) as you right great stuff. Thanks in advance Dear Sir,
