FAQ

Q:

HOW DO I KNOW WHICH PLAN IS RIGHT FOR ME?

A:

These programs were designed to optimize results for each athlete’s training level. Training with a more advanced program will not yield quicker results. In fact, performance could decline if an athlete is unprepared for a more advanced program. This could lead to overtraining. Know that none of our plans are “easy” and you will get the best results by matching the right plan with your training level. When in doubt, err on the side of a more novice program. Your results will be better both in the short and long term!

Q:

WHAT IF I ORDER THE WRONG WORKOUT PLAN FOR MY SKILL LEVEL?

A:

All plans are eligible for a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you feel you have purchased a plan that is beyond or below your skill level, please email support@flightlabhoops.com to exchange your plan.

Q:

DO I HAVE TO USE THE WORKOUT PLAN IN TWELVE WEEKS?

A:

No, but it is recommended that you complete the workout plan in twelve weeks for maximum results. Once you purchase the plan, it is yours to complete at your own pace.

Q:

ARE THERE MODIFICATIONS TO PRESCRIBED WORKOUTS IF I HAVE AN INJURY?

A:

If you are injured, we recommend consulting with your physician before resuming physical activity, especially strenuous workouts. If you need a modification for any exercise, please email Brian@flightlabhoops.com for options.

Q:

What are the frequency and intensity of these programs?

A:

Each program is structured for workouts 3 days/week (12 week duration). There are 3 program options: beginner, intermediate, advanced. Intensity and volume increase with each program.

Q:

Are the programs designed to be done on their own or can athletes implement these programs alongside their current training program?

A:

The primary objective of the programs is to improve vertical jump, though there will undoubtedly be carryover to overall athleticism. The program is a combination of traditional resistance training exercises, assisted exercises (requires some bands and bungees), plyometrics and jump specific technique drills. We don’t recommend doing much additional lower body work, however there are no upper body exercises so that would be a safe addition.

Q:

Do the workouts require a weight room and equipment?

A:

To fully complete the workouts, standard weight room equipment is necessary. The exercises require implements such as barbells, trap bars, dumbbells, plyo boxes, bands, sleds and bungees (depending on the program). You should also have enough open space for an approach jump. It's helpful if you have access to a Vertec or similar type device to measure your vertical jump but it is not required.

Q:

What age are these programs designed for?

A:

To engage in these programs the athlete should be mature enough physically and emotionally to understand the demands and requirements of weight training, plyometric exercises and jump specific technique training. We generally don’t recommend athletes under the age of 14 engage in our programs but this is more of a general guide and less a hard and fast rule. Younger and more inexperienced athletes should focus on improving technique and less about lifting excessive weight.

Q:

What sports are these programs designed for?

A:

These programs are designed to improve jumping ability and apply to many sports. Basketball, football, volleyball, track, soccer, etc. If you want to improve your jumping ability, these programs are for you!
