Kelly Baggett’s Vertical Jump Bible Final Results

Here are my results after completion of Kelly Baggett’s Vertical Jump Bible Novice Plyometrics and Weight Training routines (12 weeks). I followed the plyometrics routine to the T and only made some minor changes to the weight training routine. I was eating a calorie deficit diet (cutting) so my strength gains were minimal at best. My previous experience with plyometrics was basically doing a couple of exercises before weights or after sprint training – I’d never done a full-on program like Kelly Baggett’s Vertical Jump Bible. Anyway, here are my relevant results:
