:roll: First, don't do any kind of program, you will only stunt your growth. Jesus, at least wait until you be 15.
Second, When you do, choose Air Alert

:pimp: i reccomend air alert. im 11. im on week 5 and i started out with a 14'' vertical and im now at 15.75''. it's definetly worth the price and it works.
ps
it doesnt stunt your growth!!!

11, 12, Jesus F*ckin christ. Do [B]NOT[/B] do any programs or you will ruin the natural developement in your legs and will, in turn, stunt your growth.
PS: I don't plan on arguing with an 11 year old.
I'm only 14 but im doing the dunk now programme. But anyway if it does stunt my growth, i dont really mind because i play pg or sg. But i dnt want to be mega tall anyway. but ye as jrt1584 and XxNeXuSxX said dont get any programme until your at least 14-15.

11, five, either way your just a little kid. If you are actually trying Air Alert, and following every set exactly as it states [B]with[/B] the correct form you [I]will[/I] damage your growth plates because that will be far too strenuous on your undeveloped legs. (EG: Doing 800 burnouts correctly, in one day, will have about a 50% chance of straining your growth plates). What exactly makes you an exception to this? What have you said to back up your statements? Do you even know what a growth plate is? No you don't, because you are 11 and probably being told by a fellow "friend" that you will be able to dunk if you do Air Alert. Well, not only will you not being able to dunk after doing this program, you will never be able to dunk in your lifetime because your legs will never develope.
The correct age to start a high-strenuous program like AA should be around the age of 15, that's around the time when your legs should be developed enough to take the forcefulness of thesehigh intensity plyometric programs.

I'm not going to respond to this, I'm just going to say you will learn these things called "expressions" in middle school, and they will help you get through life and stop being a d*p**** with an attitude. I'm actually surprised you were aware 'satanist' is a word, props to you. :applause:
Now, I hate to own little kids, but don't talk to me like you know what your talking about when you are, literally, half my age. But maybe now you will understand that what you are doing can and will hurt you later on when you reach puberty and teen years. If you must work on your muscles, you [B]have[/B] to be on a low stress program that will naturally make you stronger and faster, such as low weight training combined with running.

I need some advice, since you seem to know what your talking about. Im 15, 5'5 and 105lbs, but im in a growth spurt witch i get in about every 6 months or so were i grow up to an inch or less. Im am very skinny, my arms are realy skinny but they are pretty long for my height and my hands are as big as my 6"1 dads. I have been lifting for a few months and ive seen a noticible improvement in my upper body strength. My vertical is about 25" inches, and id like too know if i should do a jump program and wich one would be best.

Honestly man, forget the jump program for now. Buy some protein shakes and go hit the weights. Your verts decent already, but you'll never do anything without some size and strength.
Ok then im just making sure im doing the thing aswell seing as you lot know what you are talking about.
I'm 14, 5-8, weight = 153lbs. Ive been doing weights around 20-30kg in a gym and lifting iron at about 5kg each hand. I do around 300 sit ups a week and around 100 -150 crunches because i wanted better upper body strength.
My vert atm the moment is around 20-25 (i havent measured it) and im doin dunk now.
Is this okay to do or am i overdoing it?

im not stupid. you can say whatever you want but i am still growing. when i started aa i was 4'9.5'' and now im 4'10''. in one of the reviews i looked at online someguy had his 11 year old son do it. i dont think he would have had him do it if it was going to stunt his growth plates or whatever. also on the aa website it says to be 11 and up. guess what!!! im 11 einstein!!! and i havent done 800 burnouts yet and it is just jumping up and down anyway!!! now i think your just hating on me because your mad that you probably have a 5 inch vert and i have 16.25".:wtf:

No kid, I gave you facts, and your choosing to ignore them. It's your choice to be retarded and ignore science and evidence of putting high stress on undeveloped legs. I didn't say you would stop growing the next day you dumb kid, it would slow it down and then eventually stop in a couple years. You are ****ing 4'9 you little brat, in 3 years if you continue doing this program, you will sotp growing when your 14, and be 5'1. That's your choice to make but your stance on it is extremely ignorant because your Falking 11 years old. It's pretty simple to comprehend so I don't see why you don't get it yet, you [B]WILL[/B] damage your growth plates while doing Air Alert, it is too advanced for you, period.
[QUOTE]i think your just hating on me because your mad that you probably have a 5 inch vert and i have 16.25".:[/QUOTE]
Kid, shut the f*ck up. I've been over this, I have nearly doubled your god damned verticle, it's 30'. Stop attempting to "belittle" me because it isn't working you spoiled punk. thinking about it, 16.25 is an awful vertical, I can't think of anyone of my friends (granted they are mostly black) under a 20' vertical.
Your legs would/will develop naturally and if you excercise your vertica, in turn, will naturally increase your vertical until your finish developing.
Return the program kid, it's wasting your money, time, and your potential.

Hey,
I can tell you first off, there is nothing wrong with weight training when you are still growing as long as you stay away from your 1 rep maxes, because that would be too much stress for your muscles. So other than that, feel free to continue weight training.
Second, if your goal is too gain muscle mass, it's extremely important that you keep your dieting up and eat about 6 small meals a day, getting in your protein, fiber, vitamins, calcium, etc. There is also no harm in buying a Whey protein shake to take after workouts, this will help recovery of the muscles and allow quicker gains with quicker recovery time.
Third, the jump programs. You can always wait out your growth spurt if you are worried about stunting your growth, but at 15, your legs may already be ready to take onm the high stress of plyometrics. If you must buy a program, I would indeed suggest Air Alert IV from their website, it's fairly cheap and it has really quick gains. If you choose Air Alert, I would suggest training your legs with weight lifting too just to prepare your legs.
Good luck.
actually i am 4'10'' and dont get all pissed because i keep talking back. and you never told me you had a 30'' vert so dont say we've been over that stupid hater!!!
[QUOTE=littlespyda]actually i am 4'10'' and dont get all pissed because i keep talking back. and you never told me you had a 30'' vert so dont say we've been over that stupid hater!!![/QUOTE]
Is that really all you have to say? I'm a hater? I think I would call myself a "realist" and a "mentor" because I'm trying to help you and your being too ignorant to realize it.
Second, don't say someone else is jealous of a 16 inch vertical again please :roll:
Do you want to refute anything I had to say? Or do you finally realize that you are about to f*ck up your life?
i didnt say you were jealous

:applause: so you CAN spell, im impressed
Lilspyda you talking about how many americans are in the NBA is a complete JOKE. NBA, stands for NATIONAL basketball association. national meaning nation. Last time i cheaked the chinese dont originate from the US of A. and from all of your other posts, all u care about is jumping. i bet you can barly make a layup on a 4 feet fisher price net
thats not true
[QUOTE=littlespyda]thats not true[/QUOTE]
the insult or the stuff bout nba?
i do pay attention to the nba and i can shoot kid 3 pointers (18 feet) so obviously i can make lay ups.
