Jump
Attack is a 12-week programme for athletes who want to improve their
explosiveness and overall athletic performance. It's written by Tim S.
Grover who was the trainer to basketball legend Michael Jordan when he was at the
height of his fame and in peak physical condition. Everyone used to
ask him, “How do you jump so high?” so he asked Tim to put
together a workout that everyone could do on their own, which
reflected the hard work he put into his own body...and Jump Attack
was born.
Originally
self-published in 1990, Jump Attack was completely different
from the way anyone else was training at the time and sold hundreds
of thousands of copies. It has now been re-written using all the
scientific research and knowledge gained over the past 25 years and
is published by Souvenir Press.
It's
a quick read – I finished it in just two days – but obviously
putting the exercises into practice will take longer. I am not going
to complete the 12-week programme because I'm just a normal person
and not an athlete trying to improve my explosiveness; however, I
have taken away some of the exercises from this book to incorporate
into my workout (and let me tell you, they're very challenging).
Whether
you're a basketball player, footballer, sprinter or swimmer - whatever
sport you do - Jump Attack promises to improve your
explosiveness and overall athletic performance in just 12 weeks, so
why not give it a go? If it was good enough for Michael Jordan...

Jump Attack is available in all good book stores and on Amazon, priced at £15.
