The exact system I used to reach 3.65m at 37 with just 3 workouts per week.
The exact system I used to reach 3.65m at 37 with just 3 workouts per week.
A system built to increase your vertical, without training every day or relying on endless jump sessions.
Built from real results, not theory.
But before we talk about the strength, we need to talk about how the body actually uses strength.
You don’t want to train more.
You want to be the guy who takes over when the ball goes up.
Most players think they need to jump all the time to jump higher.
So they go to the gym and just keep jumping, session after session. That’s the mistake.
You don’t need:
- long jump sessions
- endless jumping in the gym
- to rely only on jump workouts
You already jump in volleyball.
What you need is what supports that jump strength, power and control
That’s what actually makes you jump higher.
If you think you need to train every day to get better…
You’re already doing it wrong. In volleyball, the problem is effort in the wrong direction.
So you train hard, get tired and still feel the same in games.
It’s not about doing more, it’s about what actually transfers to your game. If your training doesn’t improve your jump, timing and hitting power, it’s useless.
Armored Player System
Straight to the point:
3 required workouts per week
Built for power, jumping and body control
Designed for volleyball, not random gym stuff. You don’t train more, you train with purpose.
You stop:
- guessing your training
- feeling exhausted for no reason
- putting in work without results
and start:
- training with direction
- feeling lighter and more explosive
- actually seeing it translate in games

Who is Daniel Maciel
I’m a professional volleyball player with over 24 years in the game.
I’ve played professionally in more than 20 countries and worked with athletes from 40+ countries. This didn’t come easy.
I’ve been through two surgeries, I’ve lost performance, I’ve had to rebuild my body more than once and I learned the hard way.
I’ve tested everything, different training methods, different strength programs, different jump protocols
Some worked, but most didn’t.
Over time, I stopped following systems and started building my own. A way to train that actually transfers to the court, protects the body and keeps performance consistent
Today, I work as a strength & conditioning coach, helping volleyball players improve how they actually perform in real matches and at 37, I’m still competing professionally and still improving.
Not because I train more, because I train better.
Real Athletes, real jumps, real progress.
They didn’t just get stronger. They became more efficient at takeoff. That’s the difference between training muscles and training the jump system. You are not looking at talent, you are looking at structure
You’re not an athlete only during the season, you’re an athlete all year.
But most players don’t train like that. They train hard for a while, then change everything, then stop doing key things and expect to perform the same.
If you stop jumping, it feels off when you come back, if you stop training properly strength, power and so on, you lose it. If you don’t use it, you lose it.
Do you want to improve for a short period or stay at your best all year?
Because it doesn’t make sense to
- gain strength and lose it
- improve and regress
- start strong and fall off mid-season
The real game is different, it’s about staying good for as long as possible and that’s exactly what this system does.
This is NOT:
- an 8-week program
- a fixed protocol
This is a continuous system. It works like having a coach guiding you every week, but all year, as long as you want to keep progressing.
No restarting, no losing progress, no going back and forth.
You step in and you keep improving while staying ready. That’s why it’s a subscription.
Because performance isn’t something you build once and keep forever. Performance needs to be trained, adjusted and maintained
Here, You train to stay good, all the time.

Background in sport science & performance training
At 37, I’m still performing at a high level and recently hit a 3.65m vertical reach.
Not by training harder alone, by training the right way.
