I am going to work on my vertical later in the day and shoot around a little. I have a basketball league starting tomorrow so I have to make sure the jumper is krispy!

BW this morning is 242.
So I have already reached my goal of being 240 by Christmas. I am still gaining weight and will probably hit 250 by my birthday, which is the end of January. I am trying to do this without a ton of fat obviously, but we’ll see.

I am going to be starting one of Kelly Bagget’s programs from the Vertical Jump Bible maybe tonight or Saturday. I don’t know what my vertical is right now but I am hoping to improve it.

I ordered some Carbolin 19 today and it should be here either Friday or Monday, more likely Monday. I have read good things about it so we’ll see what happens. I only ordered one bottle but if I like the effects or notice them I will definitely be ordering more.
I have been trying to plan out the next few months. Right now I am going to keep with my diet and try to get to 250 by the end of January(should be easy, sitting at 243). I am going to keep running the Texas Method until my gains cease. After that, I don’t know what I am going to run. While I have been on this bulk I have put on around 20 pounds and some fat, but nothing terrible, especially with me being 6’6". As I gain more weight obviously I will put on some more fat, but maybe the Carbolin 19 can help. Then around April I will start to diet down for summer. I’ll probably buy some HOT-ROX. My friend has a pool and during the summer we usually swim a few times a week so that is one of the main reasons for the cut.
So there is the plan for the next few months. Hopefully I do not any hit any bumps in the road.
Im interested in seeing the results you get from the vertical jump training.
Whats involved?

Thanks for stopping by, Bird! Well right now I am on the first phase which since I am already on a strength routine I will only due the exercises twice a week for two weeks for each phase. There are a total of four phases.
Phase one has consisted of star jumps, slalom jumps, power skipping, side to side box jumps, low ankle squats, and one leg step up jumps. I am going to cut out the step up jumps due to them hurting my knee the first time I did them. I am not expecting too much from the vertical jump training due to fact that I am putting on weight and that doesn’t help. I feel like with the addition of the VJ training and my squat eventually getting over 300 my VJ will improve(hopefully). Strength is the biggest factor for me.
