Bulletproof Jumper Phase 2: The Athletic Blueprint

I used to be slow, heavy footed, and had a nonexistent vertical. I was finishing last in sprints, getting blown by on defense, and constantly dealing with injuries. Nobody saw me as even semi athletic. I kept searching for answers, asking coaches, watching videos, trying every program I could find, hoping something would finally work. But nothing ever really clicked until I built this system.

Now I’m known for being the most athletic in almost any gym I step in.

Phase 1 laid the foundation. Phase 2 takes it to the next level.

This program takes everything you built in Phase 1 like building strength from the ground up, improving lower body mobility, increasing tendon health, and developing a strong foundation. Now we are turning that into real athletic output. This phase hits your body with a heavier stimulus through higher volume and more advanced plyometrics.

You are getting two full plyometric sessions each week, paired with two athletic strength sessions that blend explosive lifts, upper body strength, and lower leg strength. It is all laid out with my personal form videos and coaching points for every exercise, so you know exactly how to move with intent and get the most out of every rep.

What would you walk away with after 8 weeks of the program?

• Improved speed and acceleration

• More bounce and reactive strength

• Higher vertical jump

• Full body strength and power

• Lean athletic upper body mass that carries over to your sport

• Better full body mobility

• Bulletproof knees and more athletic tendons

• Increased lateral quickness

• Injury prevention and long term durability

What separates this from any other vertical jump program is how it builds your body from the ground up. It blends knees over toes principles with explosive plyometrics and smart strength training to develop bulletproof knees and elite athleticism. This is not theory. This program helped me go from a 25 inch vertical to over 40, and from averaging 4 points a game my senior year of high school to starting in college as a freshman.

50% off built into the price until Saturday (7/20/2025). Lock it in while you can.

Reach New Levels of Athletic Performance
This program blends high level strength training with advanced plyometrics and mobility work so you can level up on all fronts. You will get stronger, more explosive, more mobile, and it is going to show every time you step on the court or field. From the way you jump to the way you move, this is where everything starts to click.

Bulletproof Your Body
This program will bulletproof your body by building strength in the positions most athletes avoid so that when your sport puts you in awkward spots, you can stay strong and keep performing. This is how you build a bulletproof body that lasts on the court, field, or anywhere else.

Increased Speed and Explosiveness
This was my weakest physical trait for years. Now it is one of my biggest strengths. I trimmed a full second off my 40 yard time, and I have the ability to blow by defenders almost whenever I want. This type of training made me one of the fastest guys on the court every time I step out there. If not, the fastest.

Build a Jacked & Athletic Body
This program will get you faster, stronger, and more explosive while packing on serious muscle. How many programs today improve your vertical, speed, and elasticity and help you build real upper body size? I put on 10 plus pounds of upper body muscle using this exact system. This is how you build a frame that performs at a high level on all fronts and looks the part too.

The Proof
verified-athlete-avatar Alton Cunningham

Former Professional MMA Fighter

Verified Athlete

"After all the injuries and surgeries from my MMA career, my body was wrecked. I came to Sam in pain, struggling with shoulder and lower body issues that made even teaching boxing classes hard. After working with him, I’m finally pain free. I’m moving better and able to keep doing what I love."

verified-athlete-avatar Anthony Moody

Professional Basketball Player

Verified Athlete

"I came to Sam toward the end of my career looking to get my Achilles and ankle right, and just move better so I could keep hooping at a high level into my 40s. That’s exactly what happened. Got stronger, more mobile, pain free, and I’m still out here competing like I’m in my prime."

verified-athlete-avatar Chase Nitz

High School Basketball Player

Verified Athlete

"At the time of writing this, it’s only been about 4 weeks and my vertical has already gone up at least 4 inches. I went from barely grazing rim to punching dunks. I HEAVILY recommend working with Sam and this program if you want to get stronger, faster, bouncier, and just better physically overall."

verified-athlete-avatar Jackson Rindt

High School Basketball Player

Verified Athlete

"After just 4 weeks with Sam, I’ve seen major improvements in my vertical, speed, strength, and mobility. My game has leveled up and I feel way better physically. This program is perfect for any athlete looking to take their performance to the next level."
