Nathanael Morton: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to
another video. My name is Nathanael Morton, and I am a vertical jump coach, and I have helped
1000s upon 1000s of athletes increase the vertical jump higher and dunk a basketball. And I will help
you watching this video do the same exact thing. If you simply comment jump, J-U-M-P, down below
in the comments section, I will send you a free body weight, vertical jump training program. And,
if you tag three people on any one of my Instagram posts @Nathanaelmortonn with two Ns,
because somebody stole the actual Nathaneal Morton. Look for this dude. Tell him, "Look,
we're coming for you, because I know the real Nathanael ..." What am I saying, bro? Anyways,
tag three people and I will give you a free weight training, vertical jump training program. Who else
does that? Huh? Tell me. I'll wait, because nobody else is giving you a free body weight
program and a free weight training program. That makes me the goat. Okay? I'm not really the goat,
because there's a lot of people who know more than me. I'm like the baby goat,
but I'm turning into daddy goat. Nathanael Morton:
All right. Let's start this video. So far in this series, I have reviewed Vert Shock, Vert Code
Bodyweight, Vert Code Elite, Fat don't Fly, Isaiah Rivera's Coaching, Bounce Kit by Jordan Kilganon,
Flight System by Overtime Athletes, Flight School by the Loss Breed, Knees Over Toes, God's Vertical
Jump Training Program. Can't nobody mess with me. I'm telling you, I am the vertical jump
review goat, baby goat, Billy goat. Nathanael Morton:
In today's video I'm going to be reviewing BoingVERT, which I've never heard of before,
but a lot of people have been requesting this. And it finally won the votes. If you have a program
that you want me to review, keep voting for it in my community posts, and I will eventually
get to it. But today is BoingVERT. So let's get into it. BoingVERT. BoingVERT is different. We've
helped more people achieve the dunking dreams than any other program available. Somehow
I feel like that's not facts. BoingVERT, full program only $7. Listen, if this is a good program
and it's only $7, I don't want to hear anybody talking about how they can't afford it,
because it's only seven bucks. You better go shovel some snow.
You better go rake some leaves. You better go cut some grass, because seven bucks,
you better go rob some ... No, don't do that. But seven bucks, we can afford that.
Nathanael Morton: But the second statement on this page,
you already know I have problems with this. Gain up to 15 inches in 12 weeks. Come on bro.
You're not doing that. Nobody watching this video is getting 15 inches in 12 weeks. No one, no one.
Okay. Maybe like three of you. Three people out there might be in the right place at the right
time in their training career. Maybe you'll gain 15 inches in 12 weeks. But I would bet. What would
I bet? I would bet my girlfriend's ... Actually, that's too important. I would bet my own life
that not many people are going to gain 15 inches in 12 weeks.
Nathanael Morton: We will help you max out your vert. We
don't care how tall you are. We don't care how old you are. If you're 70, if you are 70 years old,
you'll still gain 15 inches. You'll go from a four-inch vertical jump. All right,
come on. Let's get through this. We don't care if everybody doubts you, haters going to hate.
We got your back. We don't care what body type. If you're an endomorph, you got big old bones.
We don't care. We don't care. We don't care if you're a one leg or a two leg jumper.
We don't care if you ... Oh my goodness. They're throwing shade at Vert Shock. We
don't care if you tried other programs that said they shock your system and it failed. All right,
we're going to be friends. Me and BoingVERT, we're cool. Oh, but then they want to put
the little asterisk down at the bottom. Results may vary. Okay. So if you're 70
and you don't get 15 inches, results may vary, bro. You may just be past your prime.
Nathanael Morton: Oh, we got another part down here. Comparing
the competition. BoingVERT, it's only seven bucks. 10.3 inches per user, 10 plus years of research,
one-time fee, and it'll get you up to 10 to 15. I thought you said 15. Now you want to
say 10 to 15. All right. But they're saying they're better than Bounce Kit. Better than
Jump Manual and better than Vert Shock. Well guess what? I'll be the judge of that. Huh?
Interesting. No equipment needed. You're telling me that you're going to help my
70 year old grandfather gain 15 inches on his four inch vertical with no equipment? Let's see.
Nathanael Morton: Alrighty. We are in. Let's
see what we got. We got the science ebook. Okay. So there's actually a lot of information in here
that you can read about how to increase your vertical jump. That's definitely a bonus. We have
the Boing Desk. Everything is Boing, but it gives you a lower leg workout to do every single day
for ankle strength. And it's actually really good. There's some ankle strengthening, ankle mobility,
some calf strengthening, some myofascial release. Okay. This is really good. We've got the Boing
Diet. The Boing Diet, ladies and gentlemen. Not just the diet, not nutrition. the Boing Diet.
Wow, we got ebook, recipes, food lists. Is this is for real for real.
Nathanael Morton: All right guys,
I'm just going to be honest, as I go through the Boing Diet. Chapter three, understanding
macronutrient ratios. I literally, as I was doing this video, looked at my girlfriend and I said,
"This program is going to suck." Well, I am eating my words. And listen, I haven't gone
through the jump program right now. But what I can say is you get a lot of bang for your buck.
$7. I would literally pay $7 just to read this nutrition manual, but I really love to learn. But
this, it has a lot in it. It has pretty much everything you need to know about nutrition.
Week one, day one. We got a warmup/movement preparation. We got hip mobility/glute activation.
We got jumped specifics. And we got a cool-down with static stretching or foam rolling. We got
eccentric work. We got some unilateral work. Let's see what these exercise demonstrations look like.
Speaker 2: ... width apart, toes pointing forward.
Shoulders slightly over your toes, with shoulder blades pinched together to maintain a flat back.
Nathanael Morton: You're not going to show us how to do it?
You're just going to talk over a picture? Come on, dog. All right, in this one you're at least
showing us how to do the exercise. Day two is core. We've got some planks, some supermans,
some cobras. Day three. Let's see what we got. We got a warm up. We got some glute
activation. So we got pistol squats week one, day three. Not a lot of beginners ... Look,
it's the third day of the program. Not many people can do pistol squats, but I do see in this video
that he's not going down all the way. So pistol squats as far as you can go down, essentially. We
got some balance work, some more eccentrics. That's good. We've got some body weight good
mornings and some wall sets. So the pistol squats are okay because he doesn't want you to go all the
way down yet. Just go down as far as you can. That is going to build unilateral single leg strength.
Nathanael Morton: You got some wall sets.
You are building the base. You're building the foundation here, but I'm telling you,
you're not gaining 15 inches. Day four is another core day. Day five is similar to day one and
three, but there's some different exercises. We've got some walking lunges. We got some glute-ham
raises. So like I said, you're building the base, you're building the foundation. This is okay. This
is pretty good. This is good for a first week of the program. Okay? You don't want to jump into it
too hard. And day six is core. So days one, three, and five, you're working out. It's a leg workout.
And days two, four, and six is a core workout. Day seven is another workout day. So listen guys,
this is good. There's a lot of eccentrics. There's some unilateral stuff. They're making sure
that you build the base, build the foundation. There's eccentric work. There's isometric work.
They're killing the game, but give me some plyometrics. At least let me jump some rope.
Okay. Some ankle bounces. Some ski jumps. Let me do something. Some shock jumps.
Nathanael Morton: All right guys. So the entire
phase one is a lot of eccentric work, it's a lot of force absorption. It's building the foundation,
building the base. It's going to get you stronger and get you ready to jump,
which I hope we do in the next phase, because we did zero. This much jumping in the first phase.
Not any shock jumps, not any shock pause jumps, not any box jumps, not any ski jumps. Can't
even jump rope. You can't even skip to school. But phase two is jump mastery. So I'm guessing
now we're getting into the plyometrics. Nathanael Morton:
All right. So phase two, we got our warmup. We got hip mobility. We got glute activation. And then,
the very first exercise is an active jump. And I like this because you're really working on
that stretch shortening cycle. You're working on the counter movement. You are actively pulling
yourself down to the ground and then exploding up into the air, teaching your body to absorb
that force and then explode as fast as possible. So I like this. And it's in week four. So guys,
I've been making a lot of jokes, but I do agree with that. You need to get strong. You need to
teach your body eccentric loading. You need to teach it how to absorb force before you get into
your jumping. But, if you want to jump rope, if you want to do some shocks jumps, or some ski
jumps or some box jumps, you could do that. You're not going to hurt yourself by doing that in the
first three weeks of this program. But follow the program if you're going to get this program.
Nathanael Morton: We've got some sprints.
Yes. We got some one step jumps, five sets of five reps. So guys, for phase two, week one, days one,
two, three, and four are all the same. So you got your warmup, then you got your hip mobility,
then you got your active jump, then you got your passive jump, then you've got your sprints,
then you've got your horizontal jumps. So four days in a row of all the same stuff, but it's
jump mastery. So he probably wants you to start getting the mechanics down. And you get your one
leg jumps. Get the mechanics down in this phase. Nathanael Morton:
So phase two, week two is the same exact thing is phase two, week one. We have those same
four workouts with the active jump and the passive jump, and the one-step jump and the sprints. We
have those all over again for four days. And one thing that I will say is that he says sprint 20
yards at 80 to 90% max effort. I don't agree with that. I think you should sprint at a 100%
effort. If you want to increase your vertical, sprint as fast as you can. Do a proper warmup,
do some submaximal sprints first, do 25% to warm up. Then do 50%. Then do 75%. Then do your sprints
at 100% max effort. And I don't agree with sprinting 20 yards either.
If that's all you have, then sprint 20 yards. But I think you should sprint at 40 yards.
Nathanael Morton: A 40 yard distance so that you can work on your
top end speed. You're never going to hit your top end speed in basketball because the court is too
short, but if your focus is vertical jump and rate of force development and reactive speed, reactive
strength, you want to sprint as fast as you can for 40 yards, not 20 yards. That's not enough.
Nathanael Morton: Phase three is force absorption, which
I'm kind of confused at this point. I thought we already did force absorption. At some point,
we need to work on rate of force development. Okay? Or else we're going to end up like the fat
dude who could squat a lot, but can't jump high. Okay, so at this point we got some altitude drops,
which I just call shock jumps, which we could have been doing in phase one. Okay. Use a six inch box.
You could teach kids to do that. Don't let your knees cave in or out, laying on the balls of your
feet. Don't let your heels touch the ground. Do it off a two inch box, then a four inch box, then a
six inch box, and then go up from there. We could of did this in week ... we could have been done
with this, and now we could be working on rate of force development. But let's follow this guy.
Seems like he knows what he's doing. He got a full thing of Boing nutrition.
Nathanael Morton: We've got a posterior
chain wall sit. What, that's it? That's it for today. Then we've got to cool down. Bro,
15 inches. I'd bet my girlfriend's life. Guys, this is like a beginner program that you do
before you get into any other program. I'm going to be honest. This is like a beginner program that
you do before you get into another body weight program so that you don't get hurt. I would let my
eight year old son do this. I don't even have an eight year old son. Ladies and gentlemen, we have
made it to phase four. Rate of force development. We've been waiting our whole Boing lives for this.
Nathanael Morton: Guys, one thing that I do want to say is
that if you have bad knees, you have jumper's knee or you have patellar tendonitis, this is a good
program to get because it is so slow. It works you in so slowly, it overloads so slowly that you're
going to be able to fix your knees and increase your vertical at the same time with this program.
So if you have patellar tendonitis, if you have jumper's knee, this might be the program for you.
Nathanael Morton: But all right, let's see what we got in phase
four, rate of force development, [Boingcellerator 00:12:08]. We got some max jumps, we got some
double leg bounds, we've got some standing triple jumps. Now we're getting into the rate of
force development. We got a max jump, and you're supposed to stick the landing in a lunge position.
Then we got some body weight good mornings, and that is it. Then we've got our cool down. So guys,
honestly, the rest of phase four is just kind of similar to that. You have core on your off days.
Nathanael Morton: We have phase five and phase six left,
so let's see what we got. Phase five is our reactive emphasis. So in week one, week two,
and week three of phase five there's only two days. So I guess you're only doing two days
of training per week. Okay. Now I like it. We got some reactive jumping. We got some depth jumps. We
got some maximum sprints. We've got some single leg depth jumps in now, because we went through
all of the other phases and we took our time. Now we are ready for this reactive phase. Love it.
And the second day this week is very similar. We just have a lot of depth jumps. And guys,
you can't go out and do depth jumps every day. That's why this phase this week is only two days
a week. On the other days you could do core, you could do mobility, you could do stretching,
foam rolling, you could do upper body. But depth jumps, reactive. It's very
tough on your central nervous system. So you can not do depth jumps more than once or twice a week.
Nathanael Morton: Week two and week three are the same thing.
So let's jump into phase six, jump mastery. All right guys, so the sixth phase, the final phase,
is essentially the same exact thing as phase two. And the reason that he probably did this
is because, in phase five, we did a lot of reactive speed and strength. We did some depth
jumps. Things that are really going to tax your nervous system. So now we are letting it rest a
little bit, but we are still working on our jump mechanics so that we can recover. And at the end
of the program, we will be jumping through the roof. Not 15 inches. But I might as well go
ahead and tell you right now, the conclusions that I've come to and what I think about this program
and where it stacks up compared to all of the other body weight programs that I have reviewed.
Nathanael Morton: This program is 100% better than Vert Shock.
100% better than Nick Briz's program. I do think it is better than the Lost Breeds Flight School,
only because the ordering of the exercises and the workouts and the phases are better. They
go from a beginner with force absorption, eccentric loading, jump mechanics, and go
in slowly into the rate of force development and the reactive speed, reactive strength.
The Lost Breed just had you do hurdle jumps week one, day one. That's the one thing that I hated
about the Lost Breeds program is that the ordering was not good. You're just going to go in there and
you're going to get shin splints and knee pain. Other than that, I actually think the Lost Breed
will get you more inches than this program. They have better exercises to take your vertical jump
higher. They're just not in a good order. Nathanael Morton:
And then we have PJF Performance as the last one. And I do not think that this program is
better than PJF Performance. But this program is very good, number one, if you have any knee pain.
This is good to ease into it, and it takes you very slowly from the bottom to the top. This is
good if you are younger. Like if I had a 13 year old son or lower, I would put him in this program.
Anything else I would put him in PJF Performance. Nathanael Morton:
So those are my conclusions. That is what I think about BoingVERT and the Boing Diet in
this Boing video. That's what I think. I think it is really good. I think it goes very slowly.
I think it's just more for beginners. And for $7, the amount of information that you get,
you can't beat that. So 100% worth $7, 100% worth going into, but I would do this program
and then I would get into another bodyweight program or another weight training program to
really take your vertical to the next level. But I will see you guys in the next video.
Nathanael Morton: (music).
