Yeah I fell into that trap you mentioned. I started trying to jump higher in 2016 I made a lot of progress the first 2 years just lifting and jumping randomly. From Late 2018 to 2022 I just spun my wheels, I would just cycle between jumping my highest and getting injured. Once I joined THP I learned a lot about load management, training progression, and what works best for me. I've been doing it for 15 months and I'm jumping my highest ever consistently at age 26.
Hey isaiah would you ever make a video going over the types of dunks, ranking their difficulties and explaining the major techniques behind hitting them?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! So many things from this video applied to me, I've been doing the same thing over and over, my body has not been exposed to new experiences for a while, I haven't been following the law of specificity, and mostly been just doing random plyos while playing volleyball and lifting heavy. This was working for me last year, as I did notice some improvements, but I have hit a plateau. I will try to change my intent when doing plyos, and be more specific with my training as I never really have specific jump sessions. Thank you again!
no wonder you are the highest jumper in the world, you have excellent habits , introspective / self reflecting tendencies, and precise, methodical way of improving 👍🏻
FYI, a new king shoe for dunking has been released, the li ning yushuai 18 ultra x. It is basically the wow 10s with more consistent traction, much better lock down, and better bounce. Honestly, I would bet you could hit a 51 inch jump in them.
Thanks for the vid, I used to be over weight when I was 11 and in got into basketball and jumping higher by watching your videos. I am 14 now and have a 25 inch vert and I m trying to dunk and these videos help.
Body Fat level on an athlete is a big deal. The best of the best are 5-6% bodyfat. But certainly under 10% is where you want to be. Lower body fat means your hormone levels will be better too. Body Fat converts testosterone to estrogen, so if you are 20% body fat you are converting a ton of testosterone to estrogen. By getting your body fat under 10% you will have your highest natural testosterone levels also it's less dead weight to carry.
As someone who trained benchpress 3 days a week having a crooked back that has brought my shoulder forward I can say for certain do not ever have only one specific training for months and months end my left shoulder got pain out od nowhere and is now damaged for 1 and a half months and my right had been for even longer cuz I went out and injured it again now it's been 2 and a half month of not being able to do anything even bicep curls are hurting my shoulders.
hey isaiah wanted to ask if you know a way to help with acceleration i think and pain. i don't know how to explain it but i feel i cant like accelerate or like move fast, but not even because im not fast but its like the feeling of slowness like i have to really really exert to do it and i can only do it for a min idk why but i was wondering if you have tips for that and with pain. when i try jumping max effort i get a pain on my right big toe like im scraping it almost and its been killing to know why that is and i feel like i cant make no progress bc of it and i looked everywhere for info but i haven't seen it anywhere. if you can share some tips or anything i would appreciate so much! (i have right left plant)
Im 18, turning 19 this year. Ive been training consistently having two strength sessions a week, one plyo a week and one volleyball session a week with a 25" vert. I'm still young so should stop going to the gym and just start playing volleyball as frequently as possible?
Thank you for sharing these insights. I have a question about the jump training. You said training max effort jumps and you mentioned time periods of about 2-3 hours when you were younger and more like 30min-1h nowadays. How is the pacing for such a session. Is it like you are jumping non stop with only a few seconds pause between each jump for the whole time or more like, you do 10 jumps rest for 2min or something like that?
@@SP3XTRO You need perfect balance in your workout to be most effective and safe simple as that. Also isaiah just said in this vid that doing exacly the same things for longer period of time causes higher chance for injuries and you need variety.
Hey man love your vids thanks for the tips! PS: bro the Philippine flag behind you is symbolizing times of war because the red side is on the left Hope that you could take time out of your day to change it the other way around
How to you throw yourself down into the ground on the support step? Do you drive the penultimate leg forward or just push really hard on the support step?
HJ is a lot more than a running single leg vertical. It’s a ton of skill and precision (like dunking), along with being brutally fast (which he said he isn’t). With how dedicated he is to training and his consistency, I’m sure he could be great though!
@@IsaiahRivera1 omggg you replied!!!! by the way, what pylo would you recommend in training your horiz (like what we said vert hahaha) , like standing broad jump itself, maybe bounding...sprints? And what is your broad jump distance record
