I've been playing volleyball for 14 years now. Started when i was 17. Never really thought much about improving my vertical for i'm not playing against Russia in the olympics anytime soon. But i had an eye opening experience yesterday...for some reason, whenever i came across an 8' foot ceiling, i would drop step, take a jump and touch my head on the ceiling..just to show myself i could do it. Unfortunately, yesterday i was taking a three step approach as one would in volleyball and i STILL couldn't hit it. Needless to say i became forlorn:( Does anyone out there have any experience trying to increase their vertical over the age of 30??...I'm 5'11 and in relatively good shape. I have access to the Air Alert II program but was wondering if anyone my age has used it...and what results they had. Thanks everyone...........slowsun
