About the Author Adam Linkenauger
After his growth stopped at 5'10, Adam Linkenaugher set out on a mission to prove everyone wrong. He had ambitions of dunking a basketball and was not about to let his height stop him from succeeding. Adam looked everywhere and anywhere for information that could help him on his quest to obtain significant gains on his vertical leap. That was then. Years later Adam Linkenauger has added a lot of accomplishments to his resume, including but not limited to being a 7 time ACC High Jump Champion at Clemson University, ACC rookie of the year, Clemson high jump record holder, and 2009 Powerade Dunker of the Year. Pretty impressive to say the least!

The Vertfreak 101 v2.0 Book
Vertfreak 101 has an updated and improved guide to the program as well as vertical jumping in general that spans over 21 chapters. This is one of the most informative and accurate vertical jump training guides that we have read to date, and we would highly recommend to any athlete looking to gather knowledge on how to properly train their vertical jump. Some of the topics covered in the Vertfreak101 training guide are mentality, jumping technique, nutrition, static stretching, dynamic warmup, academics, and recruiting. Adam Linkenauger, on top of providing great content on many aspects of vertical jump training, has also included his insights and experiences regarding academics and recruiting for high school athletes. Having gone through the entire process on his way to becoming a champion high jumper at Clemson, Linkenauger offers his insights on the best way for young athletes to deal with the subjects of academics and being recruited by colleges.
Vertfreak101 v2.0 Weight Lifting
The next tab on the Vertfreak 101 v2.0 mainpage is labeled weight lifting, and is broken down into three seperate sections: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. First there is the beginner section, which is broken down into body weight workouts and weigthlifting workouts. You can choose which of these you wish to perform based upon current strength levels, but Adam Linkenauger recommends you do weightlifting unless you absolutely do not have any access to weights. If you choose the weightlifting portion, you will have to choose between strength or explosion based weightlifting workouts, and from there will be placed into a 12 week workout program to complete.
After the beginner portion comes the intermediate weightlifting section of the Vertfreak101 v2.0 program. This level is broken down into two sections once again, medicine ball training or weightlifting (which is once again seperated into strength or explosion based weightlifting). No matter which route you choose here, you will be given a 12 week program to complete before moving on. Last of all there is the advanced weightlifting portion of Vertfreak101 v2.0 which is the most advanced part of this vertical jump training program. There are only weightlifting workouts offered in the advanced section of Vertfreak101, as it is meant to challenge you as an athlete to the extreme. As always, you will be choosing from a strength or explosion based weightlifting experience that will last 12 weeks.
Vertfreak101 v2.0 Workouts
On top of weight training you will also be completing the Vertfreak101 v2.0 workouts to help increase vertical jump. These will be done on the same day and before your weightlifting workouts. Instead of lifting weights, you will be doing athletic movements in these workouts, such as sprints, jumps, and runs just to name just a few. Once again you will be choosing between beginner, intermediate, and advanced vertical jump workouts which will be seperated into two classes: strength and explosion based.
How to Choose Between Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced
It is absolutely crucial that you read the entire Vertfreak101 v2.0 book before jumping into any workouts, because this is where you will be guided into you decision of what type of weightlifting and workouts you are ready for. It is very important that you choose the appropiate level for your physical capabilities at the time, and not choose a level too low or high for your current athletic ability. Don't worry, it won't be long until you are moving up into higher levels and reaching new levels of athletic performance.
