about the vertical project program

hello everybody,
i found myself "pushed" to respond a guy here in the forum named "jonsher",first thing i wanna say,i hope that  your not a "market man" from other companie of vertical jumping trying to put bad the sistem of luke lowrey,anyway i've never did or tried this program because of an injury from the last year in my knee,that left me in recovery till now,the thing that my experience of 5years of plyometrics and using vertical programs in the market that left me with low poor results,leave to say that when just opening the ebook of luke lowrey my heart pumped out and after reading it i can't till you how i was glad and keeping the hope to increase my vertical jumping to a big mark one day,even i felt myself already reaching the results that i want,that was the ultimatum for me,anyway i just want to answer me honestly if you did the program to the letter,did you did the bowl and colon clenase before begining the program??as jason dayle said in post you must be missing something,and i'm sure about 90 percent that you made the mistake in the UPN number,this is mathematics,and mathematics can't go wrong.
another thing i wanna say,is i'm not tring to get attention from anybody or trying to advertise or doing a publicity for the vertical project,i'm just saying the TRUTH and nothing just the TRUTH.
i'll do the program when i'll be free injured and show you the results.train smart homie,train smart.
peace.

Re: about the vertical project program

No marketing ploy here, just an average athlete trying to improve his vert and, yes, I followed the program exactly as outlined including using the correct UPN numbers. 2 weeks ago I emailed Jason Dalley of TVP in reply to his posts here, but haven't heard back from him yet.

Re: about the vertical project program

Listen to you fans of the vertical project, I know you dont want to hear this but after hearing the posts that jonsher has been making (I have experienced the same problems) I felt I had to say my experience with the vertical project as well, after all, that is what this site is about. First of all, I also tried the vertical project to the best of my abilities, doing exactly what it says including the 7 day detox, all the weights, the correct UPN numbers, the secret exercise, the 50 inch vertical plan and the window plan stuff as well. I got less than average results (to put it nicely) and certainly no where near "double" my vertical.
When I tried to contact the refund department during the 90 day period which you are allowed to get a refund then I got no reply, but as soon as this period past then they emailed me back saying that I was out of the refund time limit and that they would not allow me a refund.
This post is really for those of you who are thinking of buying the vertical project package, and to warn you that although some of you may get results (definatly nothing close to double your current vertical however, unless of course it is just over 2 and a half inches), some of you wont (here are two cases for example). Only buy it if you have a spare $300 lying around, otherwise, I would advise against it.

Re: about the vertical project program

Well I gained about 3" but the point I was making was more to the fact that you will not got a refund at all even though they say you can have one with an added $100. Its just a marketing scam, and a load of B.S.
Just remember that when you are going to buy it. I dont want to put you off because as we can see there are some people that make good gains with it but there are also us unfortunate ones as well that dont really gain much.
Seriously, just buy it if you can really afford it. Dont spend all you money on it because if it doesnt work for you then you will be really disapointed and broke (trust me I know). Just buy a cheaper program and work hard at it. You will get results.

Re: about the vertical project program

Hi I have also purchased TVP at the beginning of 2006. When I used to ask before purchasing it my every question was answered pronto but when I started to have a problem with my gains no replies to my complaints. Don't get me wrong I am no hater trying to destroy TVP i was just a guy who was so keen on increasing vert that I had only one last final resort TVP. Last resort because it was the most expensive and it involved going everyday to the weightroom and working your ass off. However despite my effort I can't get over the 70cm vert. I'm now confused and disappointed that I was naive and I don't really know what to do. I wouldn't be suprised if after all of this TVP was just a scam. I started noticing after I have recieved an email from TVP where they announced to prepare your credit cards because some new stuff was coming out which is even better than double your vertical. Does anybody know what to do to get over 70cm ?? TVP, Jumpsoles didn't help at all. The only benefit to some skinny guys might be the fact that while doing the program you increase body mass and get bulkier overall.

Well first of all, tvp or any other vert program wont work for you if you are skinny. If you want to get bulky and stuff, i would suggest doing Doe Defranco's westside barbell for skinny bastards.

Re: about the vertical project program

I belive that a skinny guy could get a more leaner "cut" look while doing certain vert programs but there are guys who want to look like bodybuilders dunno why though sad. BTW I'm not skinny now and I never were a skinny kid too tongue I was always somewhere between the two body types. Could somebody list the most frequently made mistakes while doing TVP ? Maybe than I'll know whether I did it the right way hmm

Re: about the vertical project program

I don't know the most frequently made mistakes for TVP but I've read alot about the most common made mistake for vert training is overtraining. Were you playing alot of basketball on the side? Running alot long distance? you know that sort of thing.  Also did you miss any workouts or skip over any parts? Im not trying to be accusing just curious since Im going through the program right now and am just finishing up the week 5 pool workouts.  I've prolly gained about 2in  in the first 4 weeks and will retest again after this week.

Re: about the vertical project program

i reckon the biggest mistakes are the upns by far. make them to high and your screwed your body will just shut down. the fisrt time i did it i had like upns of 16 and 15 and like that high and i only had bout 24". you really have to make sure you test your upns right its better to keep them lower then over do it. my upns now are between 10 and 5. I think people who have done airalert previously really go crap at this cos there use to doing lots of reps of minimal power. phillip and marco what are your current upns and verts?

Re: about the vertical project program

Well when I did TVP for the first time I didn't know that every exercise must be measured individually. Now during my second try I have UPN's 9, 10, 14, 15 , 14 (the last two have been altered. The 9 is the score for the S/L hypers 10 for Maximum height and 14 for flying step-ups which seem to me the easiest exercise the 14, 15 were the one leg calf jump and curl but I had to reduce them because I got shin splints after doing them. BTW I never skipped a single training session throughout the summer. How much have you guys gained overall or did your friends really benefit from the program (huge gains) ??

Re: about the vertical project program

Im using a upn of 7 for all of them I could maybe make it alittle higher for some of em but I really didn't wanna risk overdoing it and wanted to keep it fairly simple. Standing vert 24" and runing 30", since I started the running jump went up to about 32".

Re: about the vertical project program

i reckon phillip will gain better then marco. as long as phillip puts 100% effort and speed into his upns he cant go wrong. marco i reckon some of your upns are to high. specially the sl jumps and flying steps. if you are jumping as high as you can for all 15 reps then its ok. but i think you would be jumping really low. same with the step ups. if you jumped as high as you can each time of the box theres no way you could do 14 consectuvie reps without losing power or height. not taking a strike at you. unless  you already have a 40 " vert.

Re: about the vertical project program

Phillip, your upn's can't all be the same number, they all have to be different or some can are the same, thats one mistake about the upn's people have them low, but they're not supposed to be the same, so retest them again and make sure they are tested correctly, not too high and  not too low. Marco your s/l calf jumps have to be about half of your s/l calf jumps and your s/l calf jump curls are suppsed to be in the 5 to 7 mark, thats proabably why you havent gained much, thats probbaly why everyone that used tvp and hasn't seen good results, its all about the upn's.

Re: about the vertical project program

look people,there is nothing low or high in the UPN,if u didn't measur ur correct UPN,then ur loosing ur time and hindring ur reasults,u gotta and u must find ur true and exact UPN before begining the program,don't do the donkey stuff,sometimes VTP don't answer ur questions cause maybe it's a stupide question.

Yeah they might not answer your questions if they are stupid, and they definately wont answer them if your asking for a refund. TVP is crap.

Re: about the vertical project program

in weeks six and seven my vert went up about 5" but then after completing weeks 8 & 9
i lost all that i gained so i got discouraged and took a break from it to play hoopla with my friends. im going to start back up again but its hard to get going also do you need to adjust your upns every few weeks or so i never fully got that.

Re: about the vertical project program

Does anyone know why the power output exercises are at the end of the workout? It just doesn't make sense to me. Everthing I've read  says it's best to do your jump exercise or plyometric exercise first when your fresh but tvp always has you do them at the end.

I meant my whole experience with it, including the program. It just isnt as good as they have you believe and definately not worth the money. I have sent them loads of emails which they dont get back to and I got pretty poor results with the program itself. Thats why I think its crap and really just a big scam with excellent marketing.
