Honestly I didn't mind because I just did my own upper body along with the lower body strength work in the evenings, or on the core days, because they usually only took 30-45 mins anyway.
Might need to reduce the volume on lower body lifts but I did it along with my normal upper body programme at the time and it worked well. Just took a lot of time
Good video, I have some questions though. I finished vert code bodyweight about 2 months ago. My high school basketball season started a month ago and will continue until February. I currently am not doing an vert code workouts during season. I’m trying to increase my bounce and also increase my speed. I still do the core workouts from vertcode but not the leg workouts. I’m wondering if I want to increase my vert and speed in season what should I do. I’m thinking of doing core and plyos 3 days a week (as PJF says plyometrics are more important for maintaining gains) and then doing speed training such as (agility ladders, sprints, hill runs, wall pistons, etc.) on the other 3 days. Do you have any tips for how to schedule my workouts during basketball season? Your thoughts and help would truly help me. Thanks bro 🙏🙏
Appreciate you watching and subscribe for more 🙏🏾 I’m actually gonna be making a lot of videos about in-season training soon but with your situation, it would probably be best to just modify some of the vert code workouts by reducing the number of reps you do because you’re already gonna get so many reps up in practice and games. A lot of the strength qualities needed for vertical jump are the same for speed, but you could also add some sprint technique work and short sprints into your basketball workouts (either as a a warmup or part of the drills) so that you’re not having to add an extra separate workout to your routine. Hope this helps 🙏🏾
I think it’s very unlikely but I wouldn’t completely say no as there are alternatives to most exercises. Check out the workout vlogs on the channel for more on this: czcams.com/play/PL1qnbU_xnWVmvekZRq_wAxwhZVNajCu2Q.html
Great question, I’d say a lot because there was a dedicated acceleration/deceleration day that helped me work on getting into those lower angles to blow by, which I struggled with before
Hey, I was wondering if this program would be good in season for high school basketball players? as paul says strength training is not as important as plyometrics.
Appreciate you watching man and subscribe for more 🤝 I personally think it might be a bit too much load during the season, especially if you have a lot of practices so I’d leave it for the off season
@@dylanahern6852 can’t lie, I didn’t see it in the original comment but I’m pretty sure he would never have said that 😅 it’s definitely equally as important
On average 1-1.5 hours but depends on how you split them and what phase you’re in. Check the vlogs I made for each phase for more on this: czcams.com/play/PL1qnbU_xnWVmvekZRq_wAxwhZVNajCu2Q.html

I’m making a video on this later this month but it depends what you’re looking to improve because they have a different focus. If you don’t know what to improve first, out of PJF’s programmes I’d start with Durability Code, then do Fat Don’t Fly, then you can do Vert or Speed Code Hope this helps!
@@elitesmartathletes I’ll review ur video on fat don’t fly but I’m 9 percent body fat idk if I need it but I’ll watch ur vid on it. I have the durability code rn and the vert code and the speed code in my possession rn. I always thought if I just did vertcode bw that it’s not enough cuz I feel like it isn’t that hard but I guess it’s cuz he wants to keep are ligaments and tendons healthy but it’s kinda hard to decide really cuz I feel like I can do both but muscles recover faster then tendons and ligaments so I don’t really know. Thx for the reply I’m looking forward to ur next video.
@@masonmalaguti3463 I mean Fat Don't Fly isn't just for losing fat, it's more of a general body composition programme where you can do it to increase muscle or just maintain strength whilst also getting more athletic, which is why I'd recommend it before Vert Code or Speed Code. But if you have Durability Code, then go with that for sure because it's still a strength and conditioning programme.
I got the normal one (too old to say I’m youth anymore). Yeah I did need weights for some things but he gave alternatives for if you don’t have them for most exercises
Comment any workouts you'd like me to review next and check out previous workout reviews here: czcams.com/play/PL1qnbU_xnWVnecPd_irgdhHkK7CN93x2f.html
does this program increase lateral quickness for improved defence?
Yes it does, you can check the training vlogs on my channel to see the specific drills included
How do you feel about the lack of upper body workouts? Im currently replacing one of the core days with a general upper body
Honestly I didn't mind because I just did my own upper body along with the lower body strength work in the evenings, or on the core days, because they usually only took 30-45 mins anyway.
Are you able to send me speed code money has been hard
You’re coming to the wrong place to ask for free programs, I don’t do that
@@elitesmartathletes it’s okay I understand
Is it realistic to do this program concurrently with a standard weight training program? Or would that be too much volume?
Might need to reduce the volume on lower body lifts but I did it along with my normal upper body programme at the time and it worked well. Just took a lot of time
@@elitesmartathletes Thank you
i got the bw program would it be good for european football ? any other programs out there better than the speed code
I’m from the UK so you can just call it Football 😂 but yeah you this is a great programme for that
@@elitesmartathletes ahahah ok

Can I do speedcode without using bands?

How much do you think it improved your first few steps/blow bys
Great question, I’d say a lot because there was a dedicated acceleration/deceleration day that helped me work on getting into those lower angles to blow by, which I struggled with before

Appreciate you watching man and subscribe for more 🤝 I personally think it might be a bit too much load during the season, especially if you have a lot of practices so I’d leave it for the off season
hey just wondering when he said this? Like what video did he say strength is not as important? Thanks
@@dylanahern6852 can’t lie, I didn’t see it in the original comment but I’m pretty sure he would never have said that 😅 it’s definitely equally as important
Can you do other workouts when doing this program
Yeah you can, I was doing my own upper body strength work during the programme for example.
Is it better than jump attack?
I’ve never done jump attack so I couldn’t accurately say. I will say it was definitely my favourite programme to do by far.
How long do the daily workouts take to complete?
On average 1-1.5 hours but depends on how you split them and what phase you’re in.
Check the vlogs I made for each phase for more on this: czcams.com/play/PL1qnbU_xnWVmvekZRq_wAxwhZVNajCu2Q.html
Do you only train by yourself? I also don't have a partner to train
Yeah I did this programme completely by myself because there are alternatives to most drills without a partner if you watch all the videos
For VC elite, I have to add my own strength work. Speed Code doesn't have much strength work either. Is that a problem for you
Honestly I didn't mind because I just did my own upper body along with the lower body strength work in the evenings, or on the core days, because they usually only took 30-45 mins anyway.
Would this benefit hockey players?
Definitely, hockey players have to move too
I just finished vert code bw what should I do next ? Durability code or speed code or both together ?
I’d always go with DC over other programmes first just to get yourself right
how your agility got worse if you're doing a program to get faster and more agile?
Lots of possible factors: grip of my shoes, court dustiness, joint soreness, muscle fatigue, an error with the app etc.
Did this help with your first step?
Yes
Can I do vertcode then speedcode or speedcode then vertcode bw which one is better to start out with
I’m making a video on this later this month but it depends what you’re looking to improve because they have a different focus.

@@elitesmartathletes ok cool thx
Did you buy the youth one or the normal one? And if you did by the normal one, did you need to use weights?
I got the normal one (too old to say I’m youth anymore). Yeah I did need weights for some things but he gave alternatives for if you don’t have them for most exercises
i don’t have that type of money how can i get this for free
