Top 3 Lifts To JUMP HIGHER 

That's awesome to hear! It's great to find someone whos in the same position as you. Still haven't got a legit dunk yet, but next year is coming.

He’s way higher than 34 inches bruh. My vert is 34 inches as well as I can only touch the rim

Thanks! Will do!

Thanks man!

Hey thanks! Good luck to you too!

Thanks for the input! I don't really do front squats as a standalone lift, but I will definitely start incorporating them once I get back to the gym because it helps my clean. I already have Plyometrics in my routine! I just made a quarantine plyometric workout, so we don't lose gains during these times. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip! I noticed that too. This was when I was just getting into cleans, so my form wasn't any good.

@@Hobe23 I struggle just as bad dude 😂😂 its maybe the lats are tight. Gotta foam roll prior

Haha, what's funny is I just got into foam rolling and it does wonders. It's amazing. We just gotta keep working at it 💪.

1. I currently weight (70 kg) 154lbs, but when I was jumping the highest I was (68.5 - 69 kg) 150lb. 2. More effective in targeting thighs, yes. I like back squats, because it targets the overall strength better (you can lift more) alongside the with the glutes. It also has bette hip extension. But, the front squat is definitely better for cleans. 3. I think snatch and jerks are great! I think they target overall power which is great for vertical, but the clean is enough for me because it focus more of the lower body power with the triple extension. And, yes you are right those are difficult movements. I've never tried snatching and jerks from cleans myself, but I would love to get into it. Thanks for the question!

Hey, just keep working at it. Make sure you rest well too! You can do it fam.

aye no worries man just really focus on the rest component and getting back to the strength you used to be at. We all on a journey

Henry Le Yesh I’ve been getting better and focusing on my knee health

Rest your knee first you still have time left and you will still grow. Have patience dont rush yourself

Hey, thanks for your input. I've also noticed that I used my arm way to much in my clean. If you look at my recent videos I've improved my form a lot. A lot of the clips of me cleaning is when I first started incorporating it to my routine. But, I still have much to improve.

Hobé great stuff mate, keep going!!

@@rickyeldiablo800 Thanks!

Pretty much youtube. My form is pretty bad in this video, but at the end it gets a lot better. I still need to improve my form.

Plyos, Speed Training and a lot of isometrics are great for vertical jump training.

Thanks!

@@Hobe23 I have a question

@@mikeycoronel4192 Ask away :)

@@Hobe23 do you need to have strong arms to perform the power cleans? For me when I perform them my arms hurt alot. I'm curious if there's a special technique to use less of your arm muscle.

@@mikeycoronel4192 Well to a degree I think you need arms, but the whole posterior chain is the most important for the power cleans. I am currently doing cleans for the 3 rep ranges. I suggest you try lower weights if your arm is hurting. A lot of the times it's better to start at a lower weight and progressively overload so your body can adjust. It also may be your form. My form is still pretty garbage, but I'm a lot better since I started. From the information alone, I wouldn't know 100% what's causing the pain in your arms.

progressive overload. Started around 25-35?

I'm 5'9 or 176 cm. Thanks!

The weight should be how much you can lift for 1-3 reps. There is no definitive answer cuz everyone has different levels of strength. The important part is progressively overloading. I started off with 25lb and moved up to a plate in 2 weeks? But, this might be because my compound lifts were already generally strong. Just make sure you are giving your max effort in each lift and really focus in lifting the weight efficiently.

I would suggest to ask someone about proper tecnique or watch a video about it. Then trying it out and always train with weight you can handle with proper tecnique. If you're struggling with your tecnique lower the weight a little bit and get stronger... don't risk injurying yourself, ok?

I currently vary around (146 lbs - 152 lbs). In metric system its around (66 kg - 69 kg). I'm usually at the low end when my water weight is low and a breakfast or a snack in.

On my shelf for sure.

Sure, you don't achieve full extension of the ankles, legs and hips, but they do extend together. Which is what we are trying to get more efficient at. If you don't extend your ankles slightly in a deadlift or a squat, not sure what your doing then.

Yep, you're absolutely right. My form was trash. Working on it atm.
