Hard to say which one is my favorite, though it likely boils down to the Vert Shock program and The Jump Manual program, since they're both made in a way that far exceeds the competition in terms of effectiveness and results. Personally, I'm a big fan of doing plenty of research before making a purchase, and jump programs are no exception. I'm also big on looking at multiple sources to get different opinions, which is why I'll mention a few more reviews that anyone can check out if interested. To summarize each one:
Vert Shock is a plyometrics-oriented program that does not require weights and takes two months to complete. Just in that sentence, there's a lot to unpack there. Yes, no weight training means that you potentially save both money and time you would otherwise spend on a gym membership and equipment (not to mention commute). It's also technically safer since it only uses bodyweight. They also have a weight training module you can choose to complete after the main program to completely maximize your vertical. Here's a review of the Vert Shock Program.
The Jump Manual takes a different approach; it follows a cyclical two-week routine with the first week focusing on plyometrics and the second week focusing on weight training. Both weeks include core training, and there's even a routine implemented in place for rest days to maximize your recovery. Basically, it covers everything you need to go from a to z when it comes to training your vertical jump, and that's without mentioning that the program is knowledge heavy. They provide heaps of background information to read up on so that you gain a solid understanding of the process behind jump higher. Here's a review of The Jump Manual.
As mentioned above, you're also gonna want to watch out for poorly-made programs that simply don't offer the same benefits nor results you would otherwise get with the two I mentioned. Do your research, but just don't fall victim to wasting both your time and money due to a lack of knowledge on the subject.
