Dear Powernetics,
I wanted to thank you for building the best leg workout device ever. It was all simple to me when I first got the Supercat. My first week I gained 2 inches, followed by 3 more inches for the rest of the month. Every week I would add 5 pounds, add 2 more reps and decrease my rest time by 5 seconds. It was COMMON SENSE to me, if every week I could jump squat, with more weight at a faster speed, than I was about to become an athlete. I started with a 14 inch “True Vert”, by true vert I mean no step max jump.
As a “student of the game” like Mark Jackson of the NBA would say I wanted to know of everything that has to do with basketball, and obviously with out athletism I couldnt do anythhing in sports because of my unnatural ability. I found some trainer named Marv Marinovich, whom I heard of because I heard Tyson Chandler a very athletic mobile NBA center mention him on NBA TV. Marv showed me about 5 or 6 different excercises that I could specifically target with the Supercat and use my bear feet with balance board while I would speed squat. My body literally changed.The Supercats regular excercises was where my my power would come from, while the balance boards on the Supercat(i.e what Marv Marinovich taught me, would make me much more agile, quick, with stronger feet and lengthened achilles tendon. Marv made training a science and you could understand why. Gary from Powernetics, kept it simple, saying “same speed,more weight” you will dominate. Easy stuff, he onc told me he could jump squat with 500 plus pounds. Easy to recognize why he had a step vert of 52 inches.
The hardest thing for me in the beginning with the Supercat was how fast I would get tired doing the excercises. My friends laughed hard when they saw the machine, but they don’t understand. Until my friend who knows himself to be a body builder, tried the Supercat. He can max squat tradional squat at 270lbs, while I can max squat 250 lbs on the supercat now after year(around 15 months, in May 2010. When we put the machine at 170 lbs angle jump squat, he only lasted 6 or 7 reps and could not go. I angle squat jumped 35 times and walked off not sweating. At that moment I said to him, "THIS IS WHY I CAN DUNK AND YOU"RE NOTHING BUT A BODY BUILDER. I’m an athlete, not a body builder. My body is different than his, I made my body made for speed, power, while my friend built his for strength. That’s the difference. My power came from 3 main categories.
Increase weight by 5 lbs a week. Reduce rest between sets until I got to about 20 seconds rest time between sets and depending on the week either increase sets or increase reps, depending on where in the program I am. Because this letter has been rather wrong. Lol. In a nutshell I can max jump 240 lbs on the angle and the same on the flat jump squat with 40 reps and 6 or 7 sets depending on what other excercises I am doing sets on each . That’s power.My true vert increased to a true no step vert of 33 inches and with a step 37 inches. I say simple so much, because adding weight and jumping at the same speed and eventually faster brought in me something that regular plyos, squatting does not do. Plyos are good but you can only get so athletic with them, that regular excerise can not. I have a six pack on my stomach because of the up and down jump squating and tradional squating and the core balance work. This is science and this is what Marv taught me along with Gary. Gary’s a good man, because he sees in athletes in what he saw in himself, and that’s saying something. He would talk to me on the phone. Why woud he need to do that as President and CEO , when he sells this equipment to half the NBA, and like half of NCAA and all other sports. That’s why I am passionate about this letter. Because at the end of the day I know, if I can angle and flat jump squat 380 plus lbs I will be up in the 40 inch range with a true vert, meaning with a run atleast 3 inches higher. If it’s good enough for Troy Polamalu, BJ Penn, and Tyson Chandler, and all the secret athlets in professional sports who dont tell you they use the machine then I’m cool with it. I was just someone who wanted to learn how to do things the right way. If I did not do some research, I would not have stumbled seeing your equipment. We had one at my high school, but never realized until my Junior year. Too bad our coach was an idiot, who had no idea about strength, power, vert training. He never used the machine. Anyways Powernetics, thanks for the best machine ever.

This is garbage. No way someone with a 14"vertical is now up to 37" vertical, no f-ing way. Also, never met a bodybuider with a max squat of 275, ever.
