Fortis Jump Program Overview


The Fortis Jump Program is designed to increase an athlete's vertical jump. The program is written to be done 4 days per week.  When you do those days and exactly what you do on those days is largely up to you. The program consists of 4 types of training days: Explosive Lifting, Sprinting, General Leg Strength, and Plyometrics.

Fortis Jump 1 is the Explosive Lifting Day (there are also so depth jumps) you should record and increase the weights you use on your lifts

The second day is the Sprinting Day; you will find these days labeled as Fortis Jump 2x (where x is a letter). As you notice there are multiple options for this day. Do 2a the first week, 2b the second week, etc.

Fortis Jump 3 is the General Leg Strength Day; again you should recorded and increase your weights

The Plyometric Days are labeled as Fortis Jump 4x (again x is a letter).  You again cycle though these workout doing a different one each week.

Though the program is only 4 days per week there is a fifth type of day, a sprint/plyo day labeled as Fortis Jump 24x. These workouts can be done if you are only able to do the program three days a week as a replacement for before Fortis Jump 2x and Fortis Jump 4x. These workouts can also be done instead of either Fortis Jump 2x or Fortis Jump 4x as a way to get more variation.
