Get Max Vertical Review

When we first saw the Get Max Vertical program we thought "here we go, another program slapped together by some internet marketing person out to make a quick buck". However, once we read it, we were very pleasantly surprised. Read on to find out why we quite liked this vertical jump program.

Quality of Information

The Get Max Vertical (GMV) program by Mark Ferguson really does a nice job of conveying to the reader the essentials of the vertical jump equation. Whilst the program doesn't go into the same level of detail as the Vertical Jump Bible, it certainly provides the necessary information to give the athlete a solid understanding of what, and how they need to train.

It has a brief but sufficient sections explaining plyometrics and strength training and the role they play in vertical jump training. It also has a discussion of the various factors that need to be considered in your training such as age, training environment, body composition, jumping style etc.

All in all the information contained in Get Max Vertical, whilst not overly comprehensive, was pretty good. In fact, upon reading GMV, we wished more programs would cover the breadth of information that this does. Vertical jumping would be better for it.

Customization

GMV comes with a variety of programs designed to suit an athletes different needs. It has programs for speed development, programs for strength development, and programs for the development of a combination of these athletic attributes.

However in much the same way as VJB, the sets and reps, despite the excellent discussion earlier in the program, are prescribed without too much consideration for other factors.

None the less, there are quite a number of combinations of programs to keep the majority of athletes progressing for quite a while.

Presentation

Get Max Vertical is a downloadable PDF file. As such the presentation is what you would expect from a PDF based ebook. It does have photographs to accompany each of the exercises which makes it easier to see how to do them. Oddly, and we thought also somewhat disturbingly, the face of the person in the pictures was pixelated out which gave us the impression that he had something to hide.

Another benefit of GMV over programs such as VJB and TVP is that because it isn't electronically protected you can print out the workout logs. This is a very handy feature, and one we wish other programs would provide.

Value For Money

This is one of the best value for money programs available. At only $23.77 it is hardly going to break the bank. However, just because it doesn't cost that much doesn't mean it is no good. As we have said in the paragraphs above, GMV has plenty of quality information.

If you are new to vertical jump training and don't want to be bogged down with too much detail and aren't prepared to spend much money, then this is definitely the program for you.

Note - Just checked the website and apparently the price is going back up to $49.95 soon. Not sure if this is anything like The Vertical Project or not, but usually (not always) these impending price hikes are meaningless. If the price does go up to $49.95 then our review would change. We would just say buy Vertical Jump Bible or Athletic Advantage.

Conclusion

For us we view Get Max Vertical as kind of like a Vertical Jump Bible Lite. It doesn't have the level of detail, but then again, it is (currently) nearly half the price. What it does have is the basics of sound training advice, plenty of good, usable training advice, and a variety of well put together programs. All in all we really like this program for what it is.
