Hello! I'm Kokoy, well as you can see on my username, and I'm a Filipino. I'm 17 yrs old. I want to bust the stereotypes and myths that we Filipinos (and Asians) can't jump high (except for the tall guys)! That's one of my goals in life, to have 45+ inch vertical, and to be an inspiration for my friends and countrymen.
I did VJB with good results, around 5 inches in 5 months. I'm doing VertFreak 2.0 now for my first week and will know that i will gain much from it. I'm just a bit worried though Adam Link is a very nice guy but all of his marketing hype and promotion of Squatflex has destroyed his reputation. As Abraham Lincoln said, "If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens you can never regain their respect and esteem. It is true that you may fool all the people some time; you can even fool some of the people all the time; but you can't fool all the people all the time". That's why I'm losing confidence on him. But still he gives free coaching in facebook and twitter.
I am personally gratified as what this forum is aiming to do, giving free and reliable information for those who can't afford the programs that are sold in the internet. I too can't afford those prices but managed to save some money for 3 months or so, to buy Vertfreak 2.0. And I know it will work. By the way I got VJB for free, if anyone wants it you can mail me.

HAHAHAHAAHAHHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!Quotelol, so ya that knife is really sharp and really big, very easy to pull out of the holster, I'd never want to use it but if I had to, no hesitation, plus i'd probably get it on cam, would make for a sick youtube video lolol.
LOL! ...Quotedamien is a damn video editing beast..
Perhaps it's collaborating with the enemy, but I've wanted to someone to help me with videos or consult me from time to time... or even make intros / outros... If your interested hit me up.
Adarq... thanks for posting those testimonial vids... I should mention - I think the "freetofly" one is Danial Back (cool dude and has a nice youtube channel 'jumptrainee", and unless that is his channel it's some affiliate re-posting his vid, I should let him know so he can get it taken down. On a second note, Brandon Todd has asked for his testimonials to be removed (he has started his own thing)... I took mine down, he knows they are on youtube, so not sure why he doesn't ask youtube to remove them, they are really good about that. The others though, are random dudes who sent me vidsI have some more also... that I haven't posted. One that some kid sent me last year that I have hesitated on because it will probably get criticized.
Dude I don't know what a VDSLR is.. I thought both the sony and canon were DSLR...
I have a feeling we're about to be kicked out of this forum for topic drift.
Adarq rules with a steelhandknife.. which he wears around his friggin neck... have wondered why.. ?? anyone?
I'm very defensive, always have been, I try not to put myself in situations where I don't have exit strategies, don't know why, always been that way.. lol, so ya that knife is really sharp and really big, very easy to pull out of the holster, I'd never want to use it but if I had to, no hesitation, plus i'd probably get it on cam, would make for a sick youtube video lolol.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2DKfC8zDVs" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2DKfC8zDVs</a>
Well , wtf , im keeping a log anyway , but a public journal is allways good motivation to train.
Ok , so here's the race deal , my running vertical jump in inches must exceed my age in years! LOL
Im counting the winter seasons, as summer is usually off from training.
My height is ~6'1, my 1 hand reach is ~7'11'' , both in shoes.

are you genetically athletic and were you very active in your younger years? bc some of the ppl i know in their late 30s couldn't increase their vertical from 2in to 3in.
I'm coordinated like a muthafugging cannonball.
Tuesday 12/21/2010:
-Warmup
-4x10 yard sprints. (guaranteed more than 10 actually, I always overestimate 10)
-Double leg bounds: 5x5
-Tuck Jumps: 4x10
-Pogo hops: 4x5
-Jumps (see info)
-Squats: 200x3x5
-GHR: 1x7, 2x6
-BB Calf raise: 155x4x10
-Cooldown
-Stretch + PWO
After my warmup I looked out at some kids playing ball. Haven't ever really bothered much with vertical jump. (Probably because a little over year ago I could barely touch the net.) Decided to see how hight I could get, but I had no vertec so this is just an estimate. Got a few steps into the jump, got up... and I touched the rim. First time ever. Some refs for a basketball game that was gonna start on in the main courts walked by so I asked them how high the rim was. The one I was using gets tweaked around quite a bit but they both agreed it look like it was right around 10'. Went to a measure. Pretty certain I haven't taken an accurate reach or height measurement in a while. In shoes I measure at just under 6'. Reach is about 7'5". If the rim was actually 10' then that puts my vert at 31" today.WOOT. Not gonna claim anything until I get it measured accurately, but I'm pretty sure that's a PR regardless of the exact height of the rim.
Not much to say about the rest. Depending on whether or not the gym is open New Year's eve, I may have to condense this week's workouts. Oh well. For now I'm just happy about touching rim for the first time.
adarq: felt good after that session, didn't feel anything next day.

ADARQ -
AE looks awesome, almost bought it a while back, but ended up not... just got busy.
I love Sony Vegas... not sure what you shoot your vids with but I'm looking at a new sony DSLR they are pretty sweet, but the canons also look good. I'm new to most of this stuff.
