if you guys need more explanation on the 2 foot jumping archetypes i recommend also looking at volleyball videos on how we do our approach(in basketball terms the penultimate step). Its the same thing and the videos will also go into depth on how me train.
Fantastic vid! I did Anthony Hamilton's 10 min of Hell workouts & those greatly helped me. Also, Lost Breed had awesome plyo. workout series, which I will get back into doing. Any advice for getting into free weight workouts? I am typically a bodyweight/dumbell exerciser. Also, definitely relate with one leg bounce & bad hips, as I am a one-leg jumper and have horrible hips thanks to years of playing soccer.
Free weights, in general, should be more for velocity or speed strength training. You can really train the same way as you do with any other kind of weights tho.
@@maplejuiiice Awesome! Any advice for finding/creating a plan I can stick to throughout the week that will allow be to improve vertical & be a more explosive athlete?
@@maplejuiiice Any tips for formulating/finding a workout routine to stick to? I am thinking about upper body plyo 2xs a week, lower body plyo 2xs a week, and sprinting 2xs a week. At least for now.
I just have one question, how do I develop my speed just by doing sprints? Because I have strength and my teammates always say when I'm going to dunk to go faster but in my head I think I'm fast enough
When I talk about speed, I'm not exactly speaking of running speed even though it's a factor I'm actually referring to takeoff speed. Running speed will help with this, but plyometrics will increase your ground contact times the best 👌🏾
My last video will explain this but simply I am very lean/low weight and can take off fast. Strength isn't the only factor of jumping higher, velocity matters just as much.
@@maplejuiiice how to specify training based on the sport (volleyball vs basketball for example). how to periodize training to align with a season/off season (like for an average high school season timeline).
@@Blkcoco8-10 reps will only let you get to less than 80% of your 1RM. Powerlifters have been training in the 1-5 rep range for years because that raises relative strength compared to bodyweight and teaches the body to push heavier weight
@@troliskimosko neither do bodybuilders who train in the 8-10 rep range. The highest jumpers who don’t specifically train for jumping are olympic lifters, who also lift in the 1-5 rep range
Sorry fam if you don’t coach people but you wanna start teaching you need to clean up some of your details. Or start coaching others besides yourself. Some of your recommendations is just off or saying others peoples stuff
I'm not a coach. I'm just showing people how I approach my training. Maybe I am off the mark a little, but the way I train has got me where I am today, and I will continue to improve. I've taken a lot of what I know from the greatest, the biggest being that we overcomplicate training too much, and training hard will always be my priority over the perfect routine. I watch your content, though, and preciate your honest critiques. Maybe you will agree with my next video, lol
I never said u can't improve velocity it's just harder to. You can only take off a jump so fast, and it's hard in the tendons to train for velocity, but you definitely can improve not as fast as you can increase your squat, in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong though.
@@maplejuiiice its harder to improve RELATIVE STRENGHT than velocity, stronger is a bad term.You will not jump higher if progress for ex. from 150 kg squat to 180kg you dont keep that relativity, but if you loose 1% of bodyfat you gain 1-2 inches to vert and some time to your runs
