HOW TO INCREASE YOUR VERTICAL JUMP AS MUCH AS 12 INCHES IN THE NEXT 4 MONTHS BY USING THE 4-STEP "MT" APPROACH
Yes, it’s true.
You can add 12 inches to your vert in the next 4 months…
Don’t believe me?
If you can’t tell, that’s me jumping 44 inches.
Yes… 44 Inches from a standstill…
No approach step, like they do when they measure your vertical in the NBA…
That’s a pure… 44 inch… STANDING… Vertical jump.
And it only took me a YEAR of training.
But it gets better:
Because in the days since that mythical 44 inch jump…
I’ve Built A Vertical Jump System That Delivers Even Faster Results…
So if you finally want to “Ja Morant” over the center…
Or make crazy “Randy Moss” style grabs over defenders…
Or just leave your teammates and competition in absolute awe of your explosiveness…
You can do that.
And here’s some proof of that (with more for ya later):
First, there was TJ…
TJ was an NBA athlete, and already an elite jumper…
Still, in one single offseason, he gained 10 lbs of muscle…
While adding 5 inches to his already impressive vertical.
Pretty crazy for someone who’s been training for explosiveness his whole life…
But it gets better…
Then there’s Ray.
Ray’s a top safety in the NFL…
And in one single offseason with me, he took his vert from around 32 inches…
…Which is already pretty damn good…
To a staggering 42 inches - standing, no approach.
If I had to guess how high he can jump with an approach, I’d say maybe 47 inches - which is nearly 4 feet…
And then there’s Hayden.
Hayden was a highschool basketball athlete who could grab rim…
But wanted to be able to slam on dudes…
He followed the system I’m about to share with you…
And added 8 inches to his vertical jump…
But more importantly…
He Was Finally Able to Dunk In-Game…
And there are many other success stories I’ll share in a second…
But for now, I want to share this system with you…
Because This Is The Vertical Jump Blueprint
Others Don’t Know About
And as a result…
They’re stuck in the same old ways of vertical jump training…
The ways that MIGHT add 2-3 inches in 3 months:
This OLD approach MIGHT add 3 inches to your vertical…
With a LOT of effort…
But I’m Handing You The Vertical Jump Cheat Codes
Because this system works by taking advantage of neuromuscular loopholes…
And when these loopholes are activated…
You quickly get more spring in your step.
Which is how guys are adding as much as 12 inches to their verticals in as little as 4 months…
But enough hype….
Let me show you the simple system…
…That can help you get a jaw-dropping vertical…
It ALL Comes Down to This Easily Repeatable,
4-Step System
Here’s how I know this, and how it all came to be in the first place:
My name is Chris Barnard…
And for the past decade and a half, I’ve committed my LIFE to helping athletes unlock their full potential.
I’ve worked with athletes of all ages, from youth, to high school, to college, to pro.
And over the past few years alone…
I’ve Worked With 57 Pro Athletes Across 6 Sports… 39 Draft Picks… And 1000+ College Athletes…
Plus countless highschool and youth athletes…
I also share training advice with over 480,000 subscribers on my YouTube Channel, Overtime Athletes.
And just a few years ago…
…I made a shocking discovery that changed the way I train vertical jump forever.
See, as a coach committed to my craft, I’m ALWAYS looking for the best ways to train my athletes…
And everything changed when I discovered…
Increasing Your Vertical Jump Is a Shortcut
For Your Overall Athleticism
The higher your vertical jump is, the FASTER you sprint…
The more “burst” you have…
The quicker you are…
The faster you can change directions…
So, I Set Out To Find The Fastest, Most
Effective Way To Train Vertical Jump...
A way that required less work…
And less hoops to jump through…
Which led me to a strength and conditioning coach in Minnesota.
His name was Cal Dietz.
And he was making his athletes FASTER and MORE explosive without any kind of speed or explosiveness training.
In fact, one of the groups he trained using this method increased their explosive speed 5 TIMES more than a group that was ACTUALLY doing speed work.
It ALL came down to a strength training method he called “Triphasic Training”.
I Immediately Started Using
it With My Athletes
But I quickly ran into a few problems…
So I Went Back to The Drawing Board
And after some trial and error…
Tweaking…
Experimenting….
And testing…
I realized that by applying the Triphasic Approach to plyometrics…
And rearranging the steps a bit…
Pairing it with more explosive lifts…
And muscle activation techniques…
I could fix the problems in the original system…
And create a Modified Triphasic or
“MT” approach that would:
And most importantly…
Create a System That Increases Your Vertical Jump By As Much As 12 Inches In As Little As 4 Months
But I still had to put it to the test…
That test started with Hayden - the high school hooper I told you about before.
Hayden had a LOT of skill…
…But lacked the explosiveness he’d need to play at the next level.
After a handful of months together, his vert EXPLODED by 8 inches…
And more importantly…
He finally threw down in a game…
Then there was Ryan, a football player who trained with me for an offseason…
By the end….
He was jumping 42 inches from a standstill…
And then there was Pat, a baseball player.
Now, baseball players aren’t known for high verticals…
But by the time Pat finished using this new system for 3 months…
He had the highest vertical in his organization…
Going from a 32 inch vertical to an ELITE 40 inch vertical.
The results in my facility were astounding…
But…
I Wanted to Find Out If This Approach
Would Work With Online Clients
So, I slipped the “MT” Approach into their programs…
And the results were explosive.
Some of them saw 4, 5, and 6 inch increases in just 90 days.
One athlete even saw his vertical SOAR by 8 inches in under 90 days…
The results were clear…
This System Worked Better Than
Anything I’d Seen Before
Now, I want to share exactly how this 4-step system works...
So you can get the elite vertical you're after.
It all starts with...
STEP 1
Activation
Most athletes skip this step, and as a result, they’re leaving results on the table.
Because this step is all about activating your “jumping muscles”.
You might think that sounds like a no-brainer…
But what you don’t realize is…
Almost ALL athletes are either knee OR hip dominant jumpers…
They’re mainly using one or the other.
When you get BOTH muscle groups involved, you start jumping out of the gym.
Funny enough, activating your jumping muscles doesn’t require jumping at all.
Instead, it all comes down to long static holds that activate the explosive, fast twitch muscle fibers housed in the glutes and quads.
This might sound counterintuitive…
But THIS is the small step that makes a massive difference in your bounce.
It truly will separate you from all your competition on the court or field.
And once you’ve activated your jumping muscles, and have those fast twitch fibers firing at full blast, we can move onto more dynamic movements in…
STEP 2
Absorption
Whenever you lower to the bottom portion of a jump…
Or a squat…
Your muscle is put on stretch…
And when your muscle is put on stretch, you store MASSIVE amounts of elastic energy…
Similar to the energy of a rubber band when you stretch it as far as it can go.
And this elastic energy can transfer into a POWERFUL vertical jump…
As your muscle “snaps” back to normal length (again, think of that rubber band).
There’s only one thing holding you back from this kind of elastic power.
It’s called Golgi tendon organ inhibition.
GTO inhibition naturally disrupts the body's displays of elastic energy.
Instead of allowing your stretched muscles to snap back into place, creating high amounts of force…
GTO inhibition slams on the brakes and limits the amount of force your body allows you to produce.
This happens naturally in EVERY athlete…
Until they’re taught to turn it off with deceleration and eccentric training.
That’s what the absorption phase is all about…
Learning to store more elastic energy…
While removing the explosive limits the body naturally places on itself.
STEP 3
Propulsion
This step is like increasing the torque of a race car.
See, getting an elite vertical jump requires you to generate a lot of force quickly…
So the Propulsion Phase helps you do just that.
In this phase, we’re focused on PURE explosiveness.
We’ll focus on the isolated concentric movement…
The lifting portion of an exercise…
Without the eccentric, or pre-stretch portion…
That means you’ll be jumping and throwing to teach your body to generate high amounts of power rapidly…
STEP 4
PEAK
This is where you fine tune your engine.
You activated your muscle fibers after Phase 1…
You amplified your elastic abilities after Phase 2...
You unleashed your raw explosiveness after Phase 3…
Finally…
We put everything together…
So you can get the crazy bounce you never thought was possible…
So you experience jumping to heights you never thought possible....
And ultimately...
Rewire Your Body For RAW Explosiveness
Since it's creation...
This 4-step system has been used successfully with 57 pro athletes across 6 sports (you'll see them below)...
38 draft picks...
And HUNDREDS of college and high school athletes.
And now, I’m ready to share it with you…
So YOU can experience the explosive results for yourself…
Get that spring in your step…
The spring that allows you to take flight at a moment’s notice…
FINALLY dunk in game…
DOMINATE your sport…
And get opportunities that just weren’t open to you before…
WITHOUT spending hours in the gym…

Why you ask?
Because EVA really lays a SOLID foundation for your athleticism.
By using our 4-STEP SYSTEM...
AND THIS SYSTEM IS TOTALLY DIFFERENT THAN EVERYTHING ELSE OUT THERE FOR A FEW REASONS
REASON #1:
The MT Approach removes your body’s built in “explosiveness brakes”.
See, your body has a built in mechanism called GTO Inhibition that limits how hard your muscles can contract…
Whether you’re trying to jump higher, sprint faster, or lift heavier…
This is a problem.
Other methods don’t do this…
So they can only get your vert up by 2-3 inches…
REASON #2:
Almost all jumpers are knee or hip dominant jumpers…
Meaning they mainly use one or the other.
But jumping using one or the other is like trying to win a boxing match with one arm tied behind your back.
But the MT Approach includes a simple, 3-step, “Xtreme Isometric” system that activates powerful fast twitch fibers around the hips and knees…
Amplifying your explosiveness…
REASON #3:
This MT Approach works every portion of your jump in a vacuum…
And by doing this…
You’re able to properly teach your body how to absorb MORE force…
And… Transfer that force (without any leaks)....
Into a more EXPLOSIVE vertical jump…
So in less words…
THE "MT" APPROACH REWIRES YOUR BODY FOR MORE POWER & EXPLOSIVENESS
And there’s nothing else like it…
Because unless you’re okay with a 2-3 inch increase on your vert…
You have to activate these neuromuscular loopholes to get the explosive vertical you want…
Or else, you’re just running on a hamster wheel.
It doesn’t matter how fast you run…
You won’t get far.
Because without activating these neuromuscular loopholes…
It’s almost impossible to get an 8-12 inch increase on your vert.

Does Elite Vertical Academy include the upper body training?
Yes, Elite Vertical Academy is a complete program with lower and upper body days. You can't get the most out of your vertical jump if you don't train your upper body.
I can’t even touch the rim. Is Elite Vertical Academy too advanced for me?
Not at all. In fact, you are the exact type of athlete who will see the biggest jump gains from this program.
Does it expire or do I have lifetime access?
You'll have full access to Elite Vertical Academy and 17+ additional training programs inside OTA PRO for as long as you're an active OTA PRO member. If you ever decide to cancel, your access will end at the conclusion of your billing cycle.
