Rest 1 week between cycles and don’t play any hard basketball in your rest week (the most you should do is lightly shooting around). Test your vertical jump the Saturday or Sunday (should be the last two days of your resting week).

This program doesn’t really have a limit, you can do it for as long as you wish, just make sure you switch cycles every 4 weeks, and you rest one week in between your cycle switch.

Make sure you record your gains in strength, jump, etc. so you stay motivated.

Drink plenty of water during the day since your muscles are made up of 60 % - 70 % of water.

Consume at least 0.9 to 1.2 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight each day. After working out consume at least 25 grams of protein. Before working out consume about 8 grams.

Stretch about 2 to 3 times a day, and also dynamically stretch before working out and statically stretch after working out.

Don’t eat anything for 1:30 hours before working out because you will get a sick stomach.

Make sure you eat plenty of carbohydrates to supply you with energy.

If you have an injury that prevents you from working out, wait until it is healed because you will have the injury for a long time if you don’t let it rest properly. Ice it and rest it.

If you have any pains while doing a certain exercise, leave it out until you learn proper form, or don’t do it at all if pains continue to come.

Warm up properly before working out by jogging lightly for 10 minutes. Jog longer if you are not sweating in 10 minutes. But 10 minutes no matter what, more only if you are not sweating.

Before you go to sleep consume about 10 grams of protein since you muscles only grow during your sleep so it would be a good idea to supply your body with protein before it recovers.

Don’t eat any big meals before going to sleep.

Sleep AT LEAST 8 hours a day. That’s what most professionals say but I think 9 hours is the least you should sleep!

Avoid junk food as much as possible.

When you’re at the gym, don’t do what the guy beside you is doing. If he’s doing 300 lbs. on the bench press, you do yours, and don’t try to act tough by doing the same as he is.

Each week try to add more weight to each exercise, if you can. I usually add about 5 lbs. to each exercise, because then you are forced to lift more, instead of adding 20 lbs. all of a sudden in one day. Adding little by little each week will help you A LOT.

Always give your best effort at each exercise, have perfect form, and work hard. It will all pay off, believe me

Have you compared this work out to Air Alert? b/cuz i did air alert & it seemed to be working great for me until i injured myself by trying to rush things and over working my leg . . . is this any better or the same as air alert if you have compared it

This workout is certainly good, but it is not the best.
