check powerlifting forum adn dig through some old threads....there's a lot of stuff on vertical jumps....

best thing you can do is to start doing heavy squats/deadlifts....olympic lifts are of great use(have to get someone knowledgeable to teach you tho)......plyometrics also...

I used vertical project and received about 4 inches from it (good... but not what I wanted)

I've tried air alert, jump bible, jump platform shoes etc

I would suggest checking out this website in my signature, I came across it the other day and the plan on the page will keep you from failing
