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.

Verified Athlete"I started working in Guangzhou with Jost and Jialun in April and immediately improved my olympic lifting technique, incorporated the DIS methods, positional overload training for a month, and after a short deload, I was able to touch 3.50m on the vertec and hit my head on a 3.06m rim (10'+ rim height) !!"

Verified Athlete"I've worked with Jost personally since 2023, and rebuilt my body from not being able to jump AT ALL(!!), back into being an elastic athlete and doing all of my dunks again, after more than a decade of inactivity. Sometimes I still can't believe how it is even possible. He promised me an impossible comeback and he delivered. His understanding and methods of physical preparation, rehab and training are unmatched, and he knows some higher magic."
