VertiMax Is New Advanced Training Technology!  Revolutionary new engineering and patented components above and below the platform  allow VertiMax to apply advanced plyometric and sports specific loading.  This design enhances the stimulation of the neuromuscular system resulting in superior adaptations in the areas of muscle activation and synchronization which makes Vertimax the most effective device for developing explosive power.  Reviewing and understanding the tutorials below on features A, B, C and D will show you why VertiMax is the best option to develop power, the vertical jump and superior speed performance. 

A) Balance Control - The left and center animation below shows how the VertiMax tracking system allows the cords to laterally shift with the user's hips to maintain a "straight down" pull. Conventional systems shown on the far right anchor cords on the platform in one spot.  As the athlete shifts from the center of the platform, the anchored cords can't shift with the athlete. When this happens the cords no longer pull straight down, they pull laterally applying unnatural  lateral forces which disrupt balance (see resistance arrows in upper left of each animation).  So why is balance important? Because a human can not jump with 100% effort if they are off balance.  Have you ever tried to leap with maximal effort when you were off balance?  It is imperative to train with maximal effort on every repetition if you want to recruit, fire and train the maximum number of Fast Twitch Type II motor units which produce the majority of an athlete's explosive power! Therefore balance must be maintained while training explosively for optimum motor unit recruitment and firing synchronization which leads to maximum power development when training. 

B) Optimal Non-Varying Force Applied  - Referencing the first animation on the right, VertiMax is the only jump training system that routes over 100 ft of resistance bands below the platform on pulley systems.  This means the cords never go slack when you squat and won't start getting tighter as you jump (note the resistance meter as the athlete jumps).  Gravity doesn't change when you jump so you don't want your training resistance to change when you jump either.  This allows the athlete to better maintain balance and thus jump with maximal effort when training.  The non-varying resistance provides a neurological advantage that allows the brain to not only recruit, fire and train more Fast Twitch Type II motor units, but also improve the firing synchronization of motor units so you have more Type II motor units firing at the same time.  That generates more power just like adjusting
