Nathanael Morton: Ladies and gentlemen, so far I have reviewed
Vert Shock, Vert Code, The Flight System by Overtime Athletes; and Isaiah Rivera's Vertical
Jump Coaching, with THP Strength. My name is Nathanael Morton, and I am a vertical jump
coach myself. I have helped thousands and thousands, of athletes increase the vertical,
jump higher, and dunk a basketball. And, I will help you, by giving you a free body weight
vertical jump training program, if you simply comment, jump, down below in the comment section.
And, if you want my advanced weight training programs, I'll link that in the description.
Nathanael Morton: Today, I'll be reviewing the vertical jump
program of the one leg vertical jumping machine, Nick Briz, who jumps off of one foot, and
hits his snow hat on the ramp. He won the majority of the votes on my community posts.
So, let's get into it, and let's get his program; and, I will tell you if it is complete BS,
or if you should get it. Nathanael Morton:
Nick Briz jump program. Briz Nick. Nick Briz's Jump Program. Nick's hand picked drills that
he uses on a consistent basis, to maximize his vertical jump. Learn my secret drills
to maximize your athletic ability; and finally, finally, after all these years, after try
and Vert Shock 62 times, with no results, finally see a big change in your vertical.
And here he is down here, it's not a skier, it's not a snowboarder, it's not frosty the
snowman, it is Nick Briz, the vertical jumping machine. Nick Briz's Jump Program, $67. The
same price as Vert Shock. Remember Vert Shock was $67. Overtime Athletes, The Flight System
was $134. Isaiah Rivera's Coaching was $6,000 a month. I'm just kidding, it was $89 a month.
Vert Code by PJF Performance, I think it was $85.
Nathanael Morton: And then, Nick Briz's program is $67. The
same price as Vert Shock. Let's hope it is better than Vert Shock. I'm going to go ahead
and put in my information, and I will see you in a second. All right guys. So, we got
the program and it says, welcome, maximize the athletic talents that you already possess.
So, I might already be able to touch my snow hat on the rim. Module one, introduction.
Increasing your vertical, module two. Bleacher phase, module three. Court phase, module four.
Highlights. I'm a little bit confused. Let's watch this video and see if he can clarify.
Nick Briz: There's three phases to this program. The
first phase is going to be, working on the bleachers. The next space is going to be working
in the field, and the next phase is going to be working on the basketball court.
Nathanael Morton: So, the first phase of his program is the
Bleacher phase. And, I just thought that stood for something, but no, it is actually the
Bleacher phase. You need bleachers or you need stairs to complete this phase. What if
it's snowing, Nick Briz? That must be why you always got a snow hat. I haven't even
seen the exercises in this phase. They are probably good. But, the one thing I'll say
is, you can't expect people to have bleachers or stairs. It's just like, not everybody has
access to that, so they're going to be running up and down the stairs at their house. What
if they live in a trailer? Let me just see what he has to say. And then, we will decide.
Nick Briz: So, that's the very first one. Guys, the sets
really is up to you. Nathanael Morton:
The sets are up to you. Speaker 3:
He really said that? Nathanael Morton:
He really said that. He said the sets are up to you, just do as many as you can. Can
I just say that Nick Briz, looks like a really nice guy. But so far, yikes. He will dunk
on me though, so I better quit hating. Well, all right guys. In Bleacher phase one, you
are running upstairs, and then you are running upstairs, skipping a step each time, then
you're doing single leg jumps, jumping up the stairs with one leg at a time. And then,
you were doing bunny hop jumps, jumping up the stairs, with two feet at a time. And,
that is the conclusion of Bleacher phase, part one. As many sets as you can. Okay. There
ain't no sets in rep ranges, just make sure that it's summer, and then run up the stairs
for as many sets as you can. I feel bad, because this dude literally looks like the nicest
dude on the planet; but $67, like you don't even have a program.
Nathanael Morton: This is not even a program. This is three
videos. This is one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. This is eight videos of
what he does to increase his vertical. But Hey, it worked for him. Maybe, it'll work
for you. And, let's jump into phase two, or Bleacher phase, part two, and maybe this would
just shock us all. Nick Briz:
[inaudible 00:04:46] giving you a nice, nice hop...
Nathanael Morton: Okay. So listen, I'm just going to be dead
honest, because the people watching this, probably know who Nick Briz is; and maybe
at some point they would be looking to get his program. So, I'm just going to be completely
honest with this review. It doesn't sound at all, like... And, I could be wrong, but
it doesn't sound at all like Nick Briz knows what he's talking about. All that it sounds
like, is he tried some exercises. They worked for him. And now, he's telling other people
to do the same thing that he did, because it worked for him. And, there's nothing wrong
with that. But for $67, and you're a popular dude, so you're getting money.
Nick Briz: So, when you go off your left leg, kick your
right knee up in the air. When you go off your right leg, take your left knee up in
the air; all the way up and all the way down for each drill. You're resembling an explosive
jumping movement. I'm not a jumping expert, guys. I'm just telling you what I think is
best. Nathanael Morton:
Okay. So, he did just say, "I am not a jumping expert, this is just what I did, and this
is what I think is best." So, he is saying that, he's not saying, I got all the scientific
research. He's saying, "This is what worked for me, so if you want to do it too, maybe
if you do it, it will also work for you." Nathanael Morton:
That's all he's saying. All right, so that is it for the Bleacher phase. And, let's not
get it wrong, hit the exercises that he gave you, running up the bleachers with skipping
a step. Or, if you have stairs at home. Bleachers are going to be way better than stairs, let
me say that. Bleachers will be way better than stairs. Skip a step of your stairs, you're
barely doing anything. Okay, my grandma could do that. Skip a step in bleachers, it's going
to be a lot more of a jump, a lot more of a stretch. It's going to be a lot harder than
doing stairs. And then, the one leg jumps up the stairs, and then the bunny hop, two
leg jumps up the stairs. Let's not get it wrong, these will all help you increase your
vertical jump, but very similar to Vert Shock. Nathanael Morton:
There are no strengthening exercises so far, which he actually said, "He doesn't like strengthening,
he feels like it makes you slower." But, these exercises will, in fact, help you increase
your vertical jump. We are moving on to the Court phase, part one. Let's see what he got,
when we're at the basketball court. Okay, so for the Court phase, I don't want to give
away his entire program. If you want it, it is $67. So, if you want the sets and the reps,
and everything like that, you are going to have to buy the program for $67. But essentially,
you go to a court, you get a basketball, you get a medicine ball, you do some jumps off
of your right leg, do some jumps off your left leg. He actually does tell you the sets
and reps that you should do. But then he says, "Jump off both legs."
Nathanael Morton: So essentially, you are doing a jump session.
Everybody knows a jump session will help you increase your vertical jump, and you should
practice all of the approaches, just like he says. You need to be practicing, off your
left leg, off of your right leg, off of your left right approach, and off of your right
left approach. So, I do agree with that. But, the only thing I will say is, you told me
about the Bleacher phase, you told me about the Court phase; I have no clue if I'm supposed
to do these on the same day. I have no clue if I'm supposed to do the Bleacher phase,
and then stop doing the Bleacher phase, and start doing the Court phase. I have no clue
about the actual scheduling of this program and these workouts. He basically said in the
Bleacher phase, "Do it as much as possible, give as much as possible as you can to this
program." "And then, don't do it before you have a basketball game."
Nathanael Morton: That's literally all he said. And then, the
second thing that you're going to do is grab a medicine ball and do the same thing. You're
going to jump off your left leg, then your right leg, and then both approaches with two
legs. So, that will help you increase your vertical jump, 100 percent. You are using
weight with the medicine ball, and you were doing explosive jumps off of each approach.
So, I can actually see how this dude increased his vertical jump, because everything that
he is giving you so far, are really good exercises to help you increase your vertical jump, and
get very explosive. But once again, he says, "He's against strengthening." I obviously
am not against strengthening. I understand from a scientific standpoint, that you can
not increase your vertical jump as high as possible, unless you use weights. You can
increase your vertical jump extremely high with body weight.
Nathanael Morton: You can get over a 40 inch vertical jump,
with body weight exercises, alone. However, to increase your vertical jump as high as
possible, to maximize your vertical jump, you need to press off of the ground, press
into the ground, harder and faster to get an equal and opposite reaction, up into the
air. So, it's all about how much force you can apply into the ground, and you can apply
more force if your legs are stronger. And, your legs get stronger through using weights.
Okay, you can get your legs stronger, through using body weight; but obviously not as strong
as you could, if you were using weights. So part two of the Court phase was medicine ball
dunks, or medicine ball layups, and basketball dunks, or basketball layups; so more jumping.
So listen, I feel like I'm trashing this guy right now, but all of these exercises will
help you jump higher. He's just not very good at telling you, the programming side of when
you should do it. He does give you sets and reps for the Court phase.
Nathanael Morton: Okay. So, part three of the Court phase was
essentially, some more one leg dunks. So, the whole Court phase, is basically a dunk
session with a basketball, and a medicine ball. Okay. Which like I keep saying, will
help you increase your vertical jumps. So, so far we got some sprints up the bleachers,
some one leg jumps up the bleachers, some two leg jumps up the bleachers, and a dunk
session. And, that is literally all the exercises that he's given you so far. But, if you like
Nick Briz, and you want to jump like Nick Briz, he is telling you what he does. Do I
think it's worth $67? No. I think parts of it in here... I made a criticism about Isaiah
Rivera's coaching, where I said, "We don't want to see a random girl, or a random dude,
or random video on YouTube, giving us the exercise demonstrations." "We want Isaiah
Rivera or Connor Barth, or even John Evans, we want the pro-dunkers to show us, what we
should do in the exercise demonstration." Nathanael Morton:
There's a part in here where he says, "I don't have a partner, so just imagine what you would
do, if you had a partner." Listen bro, you're charging people $67. Get a partner and redo
this video. Like come on. Module four, ladies and gentlemen, is not any more exercises,
not any more sets and reps, it's not any more bleachers, it's not a court; it is highlights.
It is a basketball highlight of, him dunking at LA Fitness. The next exercise is Nick Briz,
jumping over a Porsche. And, the last exercise of this module is, an amazing basketball dunk.
Okay guys, what are my conclusions? And, where does the Nick Briz vertical Jump Program,
stack up against, Vert Shock, against Vert Code, against The Flight System, and against
Isaiah Rivera's Vertical Jump Coaching. Nathanael Morton:
I really am having trouble finding the words to say, because it honestly irritates me a
little bit. Look, he looks like a nice guy. Nick Briz, seems like a good human being,
but this is not worth $67. This is something that you try to sell to people on Instagram,
or a Facebook ad, or even try to sell on YouTube for like $7. And then, you try to upsell them
for something better, that is actually good. There's a total of like seven exercise or
seven drills. They're not exercises, these are drills; which drills are a little bit
better than exercises. But, there's a total of seven drills. The first set of drills.
You don't even tell us the sets and the reps. You just say, "Do it as much as you can."
Okay. "And don't do it before a basketball game." Like, don't get me wrong, as I've been
saying this entire video, these exercises will literally take your vertical jump from
here, to here. Nathanael Morton:
If I did these exercises, being that I don't really do bleacher runs, or I don't do hops
up bleachers; they would probably increase my vertical jump a little bit. If you're a
beginner, they're going a hundred percent increase your vertical jump. If you do a lot
of sprints, and depth jumps and bounding, these aren't going to increase your vertical
jump as much as you want to. So, I'm trying to think, the order of the programming...
I know the order of the program, and from the top to the bottom, okay. You have Overtime
Athletes, The Flight school, in the top spot. Okay. The only reason I didn't put Isaiah
Rivera's Vertical Jump Coaching is, because it was a week of coaching. I do think it will
get you just as many results as Overtime Athletes. So, we can put them both in the... We can
interchange them for first and second place. Okay.
Nathanael Morton: In third place, okay, is going to be Vert
Code Bodyweight, because it's a body weight program. And as I said before, I think that
you can get more results by using weights, than you can by not using weights. If that
wasn't the case; Isaiah Rivera, and all of these people who have the highest vertical
jumps in the world, why would they use weights? Nick Briz apparently doesn't use weights,
and he still has a crazy high vertical jump. Okay. And, it's off one foot, which if you're
playing in a game against him, you're getting dunked on. All right. So, that's the order
from there. Now, we have Vert Shock, and we have Nick Briz's program. I am so sorry to
say, but I'm going to put Vert Shock in the fourth place spot. I'm going to put Nick Briz
at the bottom, because that just wasn't good. Nathanael Morton:
I'm just going to say it; and I have nothing against the guy, but it's $67. And, literally
it's eight videos, seven drills, with no schedule, with no programming, with no progressions.
But I do want to say, I can see how Nick Briz increased his vertical jump, and I can see
why he is such a good one foot jumper. Because, at the end of the day, if you want to get
better at jumping, you need to jump. And, there's a lot of plyometrics, no strengthening,
but a lot of plyometrics, there's a lot of sprinting up the stairs, there's a lot of
jumps, there's jump technique, there is jumped days. So, let's not get it twisted; his program,
which isn't really a program, but his videos, when you pay $67 for them, will help you increase
your vertical jump. Okay. Nathanael Morton:
He tells you everything that he does, and everything that helped him get his vertical
jump. But guys, that's all I have to say, okay. I'm done with this video. (singing).
