It might have felt like a PR because you were jumping in a different environment. Jumping 34'' in a gym or at a track feels different for me than jumping the same height at a 10' ring.

I thought that other picture you posted looked higher but it might have been the angle. If it's 9'11'' and it looks like you got about 4''-5'' of hand over it, then that's about 123 - 124'' - 89'' = 34-35''. But you probably shouldn't be testing your max during a training cycle, you need a few days of rest, then try and get a good warmup and some caffeine and test your PR properly. Your CNS is probably fatigued from so many depth jumps and depth drops.

Since you're so hell-bent on finishing BV (which I still think is retarded btw), just wait and see what your max is at the end of this last phase. Presumably the creators intended for the users to be jumping highest at the end of the program.

120828 Upper body Circuit training
Did not go too fast on this today... less sweat.. and probably not effective for fat lost...

120828 Boing Vert Phs 6 W1 D2
Out of the 5 set of 5 approch jump training.
I am able to tip the cable tray at least 1 time in each set.  Only 1 out of the 25 jump is as high as last training (at 123")


120829 Boing Vert Phs 6 W1 D3 (Wednesday afternoon outdoor)
Suppose to Jump 4 day a week, but because Thursday PM and Friday AM&PM is busy, I am not able to train for for those period of time.  I end up jumping at lunch today.  It is only 14 hours after the last training.

Sunny at 32.5C degree, my jump performance decreased, out of the 25 jump, none of the jump is as high as my max reach (thumb arc jamming the rim).  Max height came from a 3 step jump today, all those extra run up distance and steps seems to be useless at this moment...

P.S. Since yesterday, some clear yellow liquid is dripping from my nose, the liquid is thin like blood, I thought my nose is bleeding when it first happened.  This had happen in the morning after breakfast, during training at night, and again during training at lunch today.  A little research on line said it might be nasal infection from the previous cold i caught, or it may be brain fluid from a crack in the skull if I got some previous head impact  (which I never had).  
Visited doctor and I am given some antibiotic...

120902 Boing Vert Phs 6 W1 D4 (Saturday afternoon outdoor)

Went back to the park where I started Boin Vert, back in Phs 2, I was jumping and reaching the roof of the park.  I go back to this same spot to jump.  Wife and baby sit on bench on the site watching his me jump...

Nearly all the jump have no improvement compare to phs 2, I just does not feel explosive/reactive...
not sure if it is because there are lot of people in the park or whatever reason...
All the fingerprint from phs 2 is still there on the roof side, and I am not jumping any higher.
Until the last rep of the last set; Finally my finger print reached over previous one by barely 1cm....

I am expecting to gain 2 inch from boing but, by the way it look, it will take me some effort just to get use to Boing transformation and get back to my Previous Max Height.  the anticipated 2 inch might come or might not...

So, with 1 final week left on Boing.... I might just alter the program adding Squat and Deadlift.
Low carb diet will continue with mc donald salad for lunch everyday (with 0 fat source...)

You're finally starting to come around. But damn, it makes me cringe to think how much time and energy you've wasted on this.

It is kind of obvious that i am over trained.
Mon Wed : Boing + Squat
Tues Thu : Cardio + upper lift

With 6 hrs of sleep every day, My leg are constantly sore..
And kind of affect my sleep, I see zombie in my dream... wtf... kind of like that TV series (walking dead)
I will take Friday (today) off, and just stretch the hack out when I get home from work...

2 days left in Boing.. not expecting some magic gain... (but again, it asked me to rest for a week before testing. I don think i have a week to spare though)

This is why I'm not a huge fan of arbitrary goals, they can make you rush unnecessarily, take shortcuts and neglect the essentials like rest and recovery. If I were you I'd definitely take a week off and test your vertical properly with rest and shitloads of caffeine.

I take maybe 150mg of caffeine (usually two Red Bulls does the trick) but I have read people taking 300-400mg. There's plenty of other stimulants you can use before lifting weights that you could take as well. But don't skip on the rest/recovery side!
