"Dunking isn't just athleticism, it's a skill" say that LOUDER!!! SO many don't understand that. Tbh, I didn't either when I was a teen!

[@BenjaJohnsonIII]

No matter how much dunking skill you have you will never be able to dunk on 10 feet if you have no athleticism

[@fredator76]

It's mostly athleticism

[@TheRealAbraxas]

Its 90% athleticism 10% skill lol

[@setht_training]

@@TheRealAbraxas eh I would say 75% athleticism and 25% skill. As dunked over the last few years the height I have to get to finish the dunk is a lot lower especially with two hands. I work with guys at the age I started dunking and they are getting their entire hand over the rim and still can’t finish because they back rim it.

[@comikz6047]

It’s a 50/50 because if you have bounce to get your head up there doesn’t mean it will go in because when I used to dunk on low rim in the past it was technique it would hit the backboard and go in or it would go in and out constantly it all about technique so it is 50/50 they’re both equally important.

[@Shaheemswaggedout]

This was a very VERY well made reaction.

Hi Coach! Thanks for the transformation video! I am 6', and seeing this really makes me confident to get my 1st Dunk !

[@thewalkingdeadspreadjamz9117]

Training in legs with rotation is great for this series !! It also helps to be at lighter weight for us the medium size guys I'm 5'9''(but act 9ft 9inchesx in my mind ha yep always.) with my shoes on but when I was younger younger I could go up easier grab net with one hand and dunk with other. Still can do some a good amount of things but trying to get back in primo elite shape is harder in your very mid 40's.. Thx 🍻🍻🤘🏻😎💯

Yezzir! Love the content. I'm 36, former ball player, personal trainer now and can still dunk. But, I'm trying to get that old bounce back. Gotta get the vert code. The results speak for themselves; this vert training is legit.

[@40beretta1]

jumping is an art.... he could have gone through all the training... and have had P*ss poor jump mechanics....we see this all the time with volleyball, and the issue isn't necessarily the player as much as it is the coach chasing the unicorn... Bakit'ball jumping is at minimum six step. max. 10 steps....Volleyball is 4-6 in a 6' SQ area or less... What I'm impressed with is his vertical Challenger is exactly how volleyballers attack....His ally'oop at the end was 8 steps.....extremely impressive for 8 weeks... takes dedication..

what exercises would you recommend for power output in the legs becuse i feel if i could make more power id be able to become faster and jump higher

[@elifitzgerald2961]

Hey Paul you have a lot of free bounce exercises on your KZbin could you put all the free exercises on your KZbin into a designed 4 week program and post it on KZbin? To help us with bounce

[@BezmenovWasRight]

You could buy his program too.

Just pay for the program. So many jump programs around that are way better than 5-10 years ago.

Vert Code!!!

[@omarghosn8655]

It was sad to hear your initial skeptical comments...because I have for the past 2 years been dreaming of connecting with a strength and performance outfit as a 5'9" athlete who used to be able to dunk but age has caught up with me. I have ben wanting to see what a trainer with all the bells and whistles (to care for my aging body :) and a shit ton of hard work could accomplish in 100 days ...it was I a dose of reality to hear that any contact with trainers would be disregarded because it would not get them the views :/ I'm a 5'9" teacher over 40 and can still caress the rim. Can lose 10-12 pounds ideally but am worried that at over 40 its over :(

[@ohgeezreact5209]

@@Messup7654 the only reason I’m not at 45” right now is because I had a badly sprained ankle for the past 2 months but it’s almost fully healed now and I’m back dunking again, probly at about a 40” vertical right now but my ankle is still a bit weak so I’m not worried I haven’t lost any bounce really. In another 2 weeks or so I should be full strength again, perfect timing for summer training.

[@therealdirtydan6794]

1 leg low load squats really help with one legged jumps

[@M13233]

Since you only had 8 weeks and he was already quite athletic, what's the idea behind adding core/upper body exercises? Naively it seems like the most efficient way would've been to just focus on legs/plyo, is core a necessary part even if it's only an 8 week program?

[@kraken7784]

Im not an expert but having a stable core helps athleticism

[@myncraft1]

Cant rotate in the air with no core strength

[@robscott333]

I assume it was just to gain neural adaptations that would then assist in the plyometrics that would follow but I could be wrong!
