Looking for the best vertical jump program can kind of be a frustrating experience simply because there are a lot of them out there saying that they are the best.

Examine the websites of The Vertical Bible, The Jump Manual, Vertical Mastery and The Vertical Project and they will claim to be the best vertical program.

If you are ready to buy one of these programs, how do you choose? Our research has shown that there are typically 3 scams to watch out for:

1. Monthly coaching – does the program have monthly coaching? Most of best vertical programs do have monthly coaching, and some of them are legitimate. But the legitimate ones should only be $10-$20 per month. However, be aware of the ones that 1) are expensive (there are some that are over $150 per month) and 2) are not upfront about their monthly fees.

It’s irritating, but some of the ones that are easily not the best vertical programs charge you for coaching, but you only find out about it after you have paid and they have your credit card information.

2. One size fits all – the one size fits all approach is not necessarily a scam, but you still have to be aware of your options in choosing the best vertical program. I mean, does it make sense that the program would be exactly the same for someone who is 5’3″ tall vs. someone who is 6’6″ tall?

Because these jumping programs are designed for mass distribution, its only logical that they would take a one size fits all approach. This is great for the makers of the product, but not the best solution for you.

Some vertical jumping programs on the market are software based that design training regimens based on your current skill level, body type, etc. The price of these is the same, if not less than, the programs that are one size fits all. So, wouldn’t it make sense to get a program custom designed to you and only you vs. a cookie cutter plan?

3. Outlandish claims – the best vertical programs do not make outlandish claims. How do you tell the outlandish claims from the legitimate ones? You can tell if they make claims like:

- get a vertical of 50 inches in a matter of days (this is an exaggeration, but you get the point)

- you won’t have to do squats or other leg building exercises – don’t fall for this. It should be obvious that if you want to learn how to jump higher, then you are going to have to workout your legs.

- Don’t eat healthy – this is completely untrue. You have to eat healthy and eat the right foods to get your body in the right shape to achieve an incredible vertical leap.

Follow these guidelines and be wary of the seductive sales pages online trying to sell you the best vertical program. There are some fantastic choices out there that will help you learn how to dunk pretty quickly, you just have to sort through the junk.
