Jump DNA - Advanced Vertical Jump Training

Athlete Flight

Coaches
Jost Juice and Lu Jialun

This training program is meant for athletes who already have a lot of experience doing resistance training, and need to tap deeper into specialized training to break through plateaus & force the difficult vertical jump improvements - building eccentric RFD, DIS, sharpening their SSC and taking their Propulsion to The NEXT LEVEL.

You will also learn how to set up the methods to overload neural drive for the most relevant positions and actions - the specific power positions that your jumps rely upon for propulsion!

Simply put - the training will take you into elite standards with regards to explosive outputs.

We have tried & tested this methodology and progression with Lu Jialun in his own training, and some of the most advanced jump athletes who have stalled in their progress before - and it worked incredibly to push them into the next level and stabilize their new performance level.

This is the exact methodology and progressions we use for a nitro-boost with the best jumpers - tested on many of our jump athletes with amazing success - many of Lu Jialun's group of athletes (basketball, dunk, track & field, and volleyball athletes) have been breaking through 3.35m (11 feet) vertec touch height after just a couple of weeks, and breaking massive PR's after a few exposures to these methods of training.

It is THAT POWERFUL as it relies on overloading specific positions and qualities!

And following a progression that builds on top of each phase that came beforehand. That is the key to build a stable progress through the whole training and maximize the adaptations and the end result.

FAQs
Who This Is For ?
Designed for experienced athletes who already have a training base and a decent vertical. You've done general jump training, got gains, and now feel stuck - this is built for you. It's not an introduction to jump training — it assumes you already train and want a more targeted stimulus.
"I'm already pretty explosive. What does this actually add?"
It targets the things general programs leave on the table: your SSC efficiency and your propulsion — how fast and how forcefully you redirect off the ground. Most plateaued athletes aren't weak; they're leaking force in the transition from loading to takeoff. This program trains that directly.
"How is this different from the program that got me my first gains?
Early gains come from building general strength and basic plyometric capacity. Those adaptations run out. Breaking through a plateau requires a more specific overload, rather than training the lift and hoping it transfers. You start overloading the jump positions and elements of the action itself.
"Will this improve my SSC and reactive ability, not just my strength?"
Yes — that's the point. Strength is a prerequisite you likely already have. The program emphasizes the reactive qualities that separate a good vertical from a great one, alongside the angle-specific overload work. Both sides are programmed deliberately and sequenced so they build on each other.
"How many inches can I realistically add?"
Be realistic about where you are: experienced athletes can expect meaningful 4-6" gains with targeted work. You've already claimed the easy gains — but for an advanced jumper, an extra 2" off a plateau is significant and hard-won. This program is built to extract exactly those difficult gains.
"This is intensive work — what about injury risk?"
Advanced training carries real demand, which is why it's programmed carefully: the overloads are progressed rather than thrown at you cold. You should have a solid training base before starting, which, as an experienced athlete, you likely do. Train within your ability and fix any existing injuries.
Are these just some novel or special exercies?
The value here isn't simply novel exercises; it's a specific system for overloading exact angles, actions & qualities, sequenced for athletes who've already exhausted the basics. You're also learning new methods that will be useful for a long time.
