Yesterday, I measured my vertical leap. I performed day 1 of the Jump Manual the day before, but my legs felt good yesterday so I performed the measurements on my driveway basketball hoop. Let's just say, I have some work to do:

Height: 6' 1/2"
Standing reach (with shoes): 8'
Weight: 205 lbs
Boday fat%: I'd rather not know
Standing vertical: 23"
One-step vetical: 25"
Running two-foot vertical: 28"

A few specifics to work on:

1. I probably didn't warm-up as well as I should have. I used a homemade foamroller (an old, slightly deflated basketball) but didn't stretch.
2. After reviewing the video, I noticed that I was too stiff and hesitant. I think I'm afraid of my knees aching when I'm done. A good warm-up and cool-down should help with this.
3. I need better arm swing. 

We'll see by how much my jump improves next week. I'll review the Jump Higher in 45 download that Jacob Hiller published and, hopefully, better form alone will result in a few extra inches on my vertical.
