My First Impression On BoingVert

My first impression of the entire BoingVert website is that there’s very little on it. You’re welcomed by the creator Shawn Myszka who gives you a quick brief of the program.

Just a few buttons to click here and there and you’ll find an introductory note at the bottom on the page, advising you to perform the Animal program alone at first before moving on to the Monster program.

The design of the website is clean and straight to the point. You’ll find a number of tabs that will introduce you to the essential aspects of the program and frequently asked questions “FAQ”.

Once you purchase the program and log into the member portal, you’ll be shocked by the big number of exercises that seem never ending, and you’ll find them categorized by muscles and actions.

According to Shawn Myszka, all of the exercises are science-based. He also stresses the importance of performing the exercises using the correct form and practice.

While this looks ideal on paper and in theory, the big number of exercises makes it look unpolished.

Before I get ahead of myself and judge it too quickly, let’s get the real run down on the program.

Price Update!

Animal only can be purchased for $7, but you can’t expect to reach your goal quickly because standing alone it’s an incomplete program.

In order to purchase the complete program and add Monster to your membership, you had to pay an additional $70 for a lifetime membership, and considering what Monster is, I’m telling you it is not worth it.

The $79.95 membership included bonuses like BoingVert Minis and the promised to keep you updated. This made the program one of the most expensive vertical jump programs on the market, which made it look like a gimmicky marketing plan.

Shady Marketing Scheme?!

It is true that you are only paying $7 for the program, which they claim is a one-time fee. But, once you have completed the program, you will receive an email notifying you that you are required to pay $40 to complete the purchase of the entire program. If that’s not shady business, I don’t know what is!

What’s even more shady is the sudden recent price drop of the program. In the beginning, you were able to purchase both Animal and Monster included in a lifetime package for $80, and then all of a sudden BAM!!! You find it at $7. You get the picture, Right?

The Founders and Masterminds Behind BoingVert

Two creative minds are the rightful creators of BoingVert: Shawn Myszka and Kelly Bagget

Myszka has been certified since 2003 as a strength & conditioning specialist and has helped in the process of founding and directing Explosive Edge Athletics.

He has been a spokesperson and a consultant for a variety of organizations across the United States including the 2019 Sport Movement Skill Conference and many more. To say the least, he’s the full real deal.

And although his book needs updating if we look at it with today’s market standards, his book is one of the very influential books that have taught some of the best experts on vertical jumping today.

So the fact that two extremely influential personalities in today’s community are behind the creation of the program must mean it’s great.

BoingVert Animal

Plyometrics and body weight exercise ONLY is focused in this section of the program and it goes in-depth on many important elements of vertical jumping.

You can do this exercise anywhere because the only equipment you need is a bench. This is a huge plus for those who do not have access to the gym yet still want to reach their goal.

The first thing you will have to do is read through the Animal Philosophy Manual. The manual is 32 pages that will give you a background on the program, basics of jumping higher and a breakdown of what the program is about. It also mentions elements that no other program emphasizes. So, right of the bat you can tell the creators they’ve done proper research.

 boingvert Animal is made out of six phases of 2 to 3 weeks EACH.

1. General Body Preparation
2. Jump Mastery
3. Force Absorption
4. Jump Acceleration
5. Reactive Emphasis
6. Jump Mastery

Phase 1: General Body Preparation

This phase will purely be exercises that will help you prep your body for the upcoming intense workouts.

It works on developing your balance and bones so you can avoid any injuries

Phase 2: Jump Mastery

This phase will teach you the correct movements and form that will help you find your jumping reach.

Your muscles will gain flexibility so that your body is activated into reaching for a higher jump.

Phase 3: Force Absorption

This phase will focus of how to absorb and stabilize the force that is required to jump. One you learn to absorb force; you’ll be able to channel it into higher jumps.

Phase 5: Reactive Emphasis

This phase builds your reactive strength. That means being able to start, stop and change the direction of your jump. This is one of the hardest phases in the entire program and it will push your body to its maximum abilities through plyometrics.

Phase 6: Jump Mastery

This phase is very similar to the 2^nd phase where it involves jumping techniques, which will increase your gains that you have accumulated in the prior weeks and teach how to jump safely to avoid any injuries.

BoingVert monster

This section of the program was collaboratively put together with Kelly Baggett. It adds strength-based exercises to the Animal program to achieve your maximum jump.

It will help you develop a strong foundation for strength, learn further drills that incorporate strength and plyometrics and enhance your athletic potential.

Some exercises do not require weights, but its major focus is building power.

Boingvert Monster is built of four phases over an 11 week period.

1. Adaptation & Activation
2. General Strength
3. Max Strength & Power
4. Max Power

Phase 1: Adaptation and Activation

This phase will get your body ready for intense weight training that is slowly activating your muscles and adapting them to new moves using weight durability.

Phase 2:  General Strength

This phase builds on basic exercises performed in the weights room and build on the basis of strength which is essential for the next phases of training.

Phase 3: Maximum Strength and Power

In this phase, you will incorporate both strength and exercises. This is the most intense part of the entire workout program and the one where most results will be evident.

Phase 4: Max Power

This is the final phase and the most rewarding in the section. The depth and density of the drills will become lighter and the increased strength will activate your body.

During this section of the program, training will be three times a week, but the intensity of the workouts will be different in every phase. There is not much information behind the Program exercises, or if you want to follow, it is all simply put.

The training program is fairly simple, and the videos can be easily followed.

Again, while many sound information is available and many exercises can be effective, their arrangement is simply not the best way to achieve results.

BoingVert Program Limitations

BoingVert offers you the chance of 5 downloads a year in case you end up losing the PDFs somewhere on a busy desktop. However, you better make sure you’re saving those files somewhere you will find, because every download (even if you download the same file twice) counts as a point.

No other program applies this stupid rule. If you’re a paying member, you will be irritated. Especially if you want to access the program, but you don’t have an already downloaded copy. Every download is a hit to your account.

Pros and Cons of The Boingvert Program

- Pros

- The Complete Theory

When it comes to vertical jump training Shawn Myszka is one of the experts in the field. You can easily tell by looking at the contents and structure of the program. Animal Philosophy is very well thought out and goes into deep detail regarding basics like what shoes to wear, how to absorb your jumps properly to avoid injuries and the importance of allowing your muscles to recover to maximize your jump.

It touches on topics that only a few programs mention. The only program that is just as good in this department is The Jump Manual.

- Great Quality Comprehensive Videos

The videos need to be accessed through the member portal on the website every time. Regardless the quality is great, and they are very beneficial and informative. Each exercise is explained in-depth in high quality.

They can be a bit lagging and they might drive you crazy if you’re in a rush to get the workout done. The quality of the video overshadows it though.

- Creators are Certified and Have Good Reputations

Both Shawn and Kelly have a great name in the vertical jumping community and certified training professionals who have trained and helped many athletes become wonderful dunkers, unlike other dunking celebrities who have put together vertical jump programs without knowing the first thing about actual training methods.

- Flexibility

BoingVert is made up of two sections, but you can get away with using one of the two and still see results.

The best part about the program is that it does not require a gym membership or equipment other than a bench and you can perform the exercises anywhere.

However, the program takes up to 16 weeks until results begin to show. If you are looking into a program that will help you jump higher faster, you should refer to Vert Shock.

- Emphasizes the Importance of Good Form

The thing that makes BoingVert from programs created for publicity is the fact that it focuses on the importance of form. The section Jump Mastery focuses heavily on what movements are most effective for a higher jump.

- Variety of Exercises

Another pro of the program is the number of exercises. Such variety made sure it covered all basis of a vertical jump. Many workouts have been put together to make sure you are putting maximum effort into your vertical jump training.

- Shows Results

While no program on the market is comparable to Vert Shock and The Jump Manual, BoingVert is probably the closest to the two. It has the right amount of solid information that will show results.

Unlike 80% of the scam vertical jump programs out there.

So, in conclusion, does BoingVert work?

Kind of, but I would not recommend it as a first choice.

This is one of the most challenging programs on the market. I don’t see it as necessary to limit yourself to anything when there are alternatives that could make your life easier, have less requirements and train you to apply the same basic principles in a better way.

In addition, I did not like their marketing strategy at all. Promising your client one thing and then acting otherwise? Not cool!

Therefore, here are better alternatives.

If you are looking for an equally comprehensive program but less scattered and more refined, then The Jump Manual is the better option.

On the other hand, if you are looking for a program that offers you quick results without the use of equipment and very flexible, then I would recommend a program like Vert Shock.

Overall, the program is very legit, and if you follow through with it and go by the instructions, you will defiantly see results.
