Just responded with a 55" jump!

[@Endomorphbeast]

The more I watch your videos the more I am convinced you're a cyborg!!! Crazy springs G, good shit.

[@chelsealifts]

nice!

[@MrBeatboxmasta]

neoswordian91 At first, I thought your were just saying that randomly or to tease her but after watching a couple of her vids, I agree. You They would make a cute couple.

[@BasementBrandon]

nice hops!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you Brandon!

[@neoswordian91]

CanditoTrainingHQ What is your vertical bro? I saw that you could dunk, that's crazy!

[@neoswordian91]

CanditoTrainingHQ Box jumps are also easier for ppl with long legs, so that David Trout had the advantage but you still whooped him. Your center of gravity is much higher than his on your jump.

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

neoswordian91 Thank you! I'd say my vert is about 36 flat footed but haven't tested it formally. I want to get to where I can throw down some legit dunks rather than barely dunking. It should be interesting since when I did dunk, I didn't do any jump training leading up to it.

[@neoswordian91]

If you can dunk on 10 feet at only 5'7 your vert has to be higher than 36 inches. You need to touch about 10'6 minimum to dunk, so a 7'6 standing reach would be 36 inches. Problem is, at 5'7 your reach is probably a few inches less than 7'6.

[@mattyfusaro]

Dude wtf?! Who or should I say what are you? Haha always impressive man!!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

hahaha Thank you Matty! I really appreciate the positive support!

[@Joelfromthemup]

Never cease to impress Johnnie. Defs worthy of many more subcribers

[@musclemonsters]

Mirin Hard

[@Luxonism]

nice translation from raw to explosive power, love it dude

[@numbeed]

insanely cool! Congrats!

[@TheVenice05]

More than impressed! Insane man. Just scribed a couple weeks ago. I've used much of your advice already. Keep it up!

[@TimRules2]

So basically you could jump on the shoulders of someone the same height as you. That's awesome.

[@Palpac]

Wow, both of you are absolute beast!

[@TDTheTruth]

Serious power!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you!

[@Haseebdaone]

damn nice one man

[@freakied0550]

What planet are you from bro? And do you train in a hyperbolic time chamber?

[@cherokeehackslife]

That was some crouching tiger hidden dragon shit there man!

[@TheBeautifulboyz]

Lmao!

[@BostonSportsGuy567]

That's incredible. I think it's time for an updated dunk video.

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Definitely! Give me time to finish this training cycle then I might have to find a gym. I don't think I'll push the box jumps too much further because it gets to a point where it's more about reaching for the box than actually jumping higher. Whereas dunking would be a much better way to clearly show raw vert leap and is something that I'd love to do more of.

[@velocapistrano1163]

And he brought out the measuring tape. That's how ya do it!!

[@ohurianfreerunner]

Nice man, can't wait for more stuff on explosive jumping

[@aasjulebrus]

U are sick bro! Nicely done

[@aspiringrunner4796]

Damn Johnnie...you's a beast with that vertical. I got hops but you definitely got me beat.

[@TheGCMaddog]

Powerful Candito

[@Yawarrior]

Good job man. Actually seemed graceful, dope

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you!

[@docmansound1]

That's some amazing anti-gravity sh*t right there

[@andrewtaft8346]

finaly got this comment shit fixed you rock man

[@ItsMyMidlifeCrisis]

Great hops and I was already on that beastly dudes channel. He does a freakish dumbbell OHP too!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

He is a monster no doubt about it! Hopefully this video helps him get some of the attention he deserves from the ppl who wouldn't otherwise know about him.

[@swings4]

Well, Very Cool! Perfect form.

[@definitiondom]

beast

[@contagiousFX]

i recommend you check out "ice1cube", his name is Frank and he jumps as high or higher. His landing is as quiet as a cat!

[@taylorannhllnd93]

That was amazing!! Can you do a box jump form/ tip video?

[@GloWormAT06]

If you listen very closely you can hear the "six million dollar man" sound effect. Well done!

[@dt76028]

First off sick jump J, I knew you'd kill 52. Second off, I thought my phone was broke cuz I was getting so many new subscribers lol! And lastly, I will get round 2 up this week when I get something better to jump on, and I'm going 55 atleast! Weighing 232...

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you man! I was assuming you'd have something in store as a response considering your setup was less than ideal for the first one haha. 55 would be really tough to beat, I think I'm gonna need a different setup too if you hit that number. I wish there was an easy, safe way to max out on box jumps but it seems like the only way would be a soft plyo box like the ones by muscedriver.

[@sergiogodoy340]

Amazing jump.

[@MikeDunn]

Guess he forgot you were a long jumper!

[@UraharaKisukeTaichou]

Wow that was insane.

[@arturdraus1615]

Wow, such finesse Much height Very jump wow

[@HomicidalDavid]

Damn that dude is strong wth. Amazing jump!

[@quatie]

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

[@WilliamDean127]

So sick! Haha. Very impressive!

[@deadneutral]

you really need to start linking the songs on your vids meng

[@strengthtribe]

Awesome hops Candito! What do you do for box jumps and squat jumps as far as volume/frequency?

[@tdawntreader5410]

Awesome!

[@MattDoesFitness]

Massive effort buddy, have you tried long jumping? You'd be decent, particularly off a short approach

[@Tyngdlyftning1]

I'm pretty sure he used to be a long jumper..

[@thebigtortuga]

I think he commented once that he long jumped 21 feet (6.4m) in college

[@dubyadee7332]

LOL everything you said is wrong. He's not a very good long jumper, like he said. He doesn't have the build and he's slow. 100m and LJ are correlated the best. And he'd do even worse if you gave him that approach you mention. Sry doe.

[@MattDoesFitness]

Dubya Dee 100m and long jump do not necessarily correlate. A standard long jump approach is around 40m and so 100m speed is largely irrelevant. Acceleration & top speed are the key factors. I know lots of world class long jumpers who are nowhere near world class 100m sprinters

[@MA-ii3gm]

Dubya Dee he's not "slow" look at his sprinting video

[@CamboFitnessChannel]

Man you got Bunnys!!!

[@riceboy287]

this is awesome, but it made me lol when the beat dropped at 0:35. "of course!"

[@rafificiation]

effortless.

[@bincyweb]

Jonny that's a beast jump!!

[@crboxRTS]

Beastmode

[@XowntXihqX]

i thought u was about to grow wings and start flyin'

[@UnyieldingVigor]

holy shit. impressive

[@JoelP1961]

Beast mode!

[@slumpig360]

damnn thats an insane verticall.. if you guys wanna check out a pretty oldschool vid of a guy with a crazy box jump, How to Increase Your Vertical (Reupload) is the only one i can find sine he had quit youtube and remade his channel years later

[@jayy5351]

Hey Candito, amazing box jump but what is your standing vertical jump? 30+ I'm sure

[@laxlegend93]

WOW!

[@mooremachine51086]

You got mad hops son!!! Resepct!!!

[@Elit3Ac3s]

Insane! Is this all genetics or do sways and deaslifts make u a high jumper? I play basketball often and would love some more hops

[@MmmMmmGood17]

Yo CT, can you put a video series together with different exercises/lifts for increasing vertical? Thanks b

[@ClarksvilleBarbellClub]

Nice!

[@TheViolander]

Holy smokes, that's one hell of a vertical, looked somewhat easy for you. Is that your max?

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

I have never fully maxed out on box jumps. To do that I'd likely need a better setup. It just becomes too dangerous. And if you see other people who really max out their box jump, often times they just increase their ability to reach for the box moreso than their actual vertical (hip height is often just barely over box). So I'm content with just jumping as high as possible with some wiggle room to make sure I don't have any possible unexpected consequences from a missed attempt lol.

[@SpacePunk1000]

wow you made that look easy

[@getfitwitlos]

Johnny, idk why, but you were in my dream last night helping me with my deadlift. No homo though!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

hahaha that's awesome! I hope I taught you well.

[@michaelstrong153]

curious to see what you could do with a one step approach

[@NubCakez101]

Holy shit!

[@OdinMMA]

Made it look easy!

[@JohnDoe-jj9oi]

when will u show us dunk?

[@88Nick8]

awesome!

[@andrewmartin5004]

Box Jump Training Tutorial!

[@jshunia]

Impressive! I think it would be sick if we got a bunch of powerlifters together and filmed a dunk video (preferably somewhere in the midwest). Who's in?

[@alicianguyen690]

This is ridiculous man. But then again, if I could squat like 3x my body weight...

[@NicSpillane]

CanditoTrainingHQ just looked over the 6 week program and was wondering if I could include explosive exercises/jump squat. if so what week would I include it in? will be donating $1 for every kg added to my squat, deadlift, and bench in first 6 weeks, thanks!

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Yes it'd be as an optional exercise. I mention that in the PDF. Use 4 rep sets.

[@grygrskls]

Have you ever considered trying out for American ninja warrior?

[@theshetman]

DEANNNNG

[@Youngster543210]

GSP jumps 5 48 inch hurdles in a row. no pause between jumps.

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

ok.

[@0oIAMSHEo0]

wow

[@RaMaster]

Mirin' hard brah

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you!

[@Akimball1969]

Awesome. How would you compare your stance width for box jumps compared to your deadlift, Jonnie?

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

I jump with a far narrower stance than what I pull with.

[@miyaaaaw]

Neat

[@SlumDick]

damn that looked hella easy

[@motardbrah7768]

Hey Jonnie, quick question bro, I'm currently on your 6 week strength program and while I'm gaining strength in my squat and bench press my deadlift has decreased dramatically, I feel like I am not doing conventional deadlifts often enough and I'm losing the movement pattern and flexibility, also feel as if I have lost conditioning in the lower body compared to before so now after I squat I can't deadlift as much as my legs feel tired, is there anything you could suggest? Thanks for any feedback.

[@zenmindgreenthumbful]

Holy fuckin hops Batman!

[@L0oKyNuMbaS11]

Defo could get more with a better set up! good work I want to see 55 :D

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you! Yeah I'm thinking if I can get a wider platform to jump on it'll be much easier. Since with these plates I'm landing with a narrow stance, my hips have to be a good amount above the box height. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get a better setup though. I think I'd have to venture outside of my gym for it if I do.

[@lilwoodzey2013]

Mad hops!

[@lukasbekr]

stroooong!

[@bharatvirmani23]

Superhero stuff

[@KingMORe666]

This squat was so slow, you almost went back in time

[@kubazjutuba]

impressive considering your height

[@itsjustrobbieok]

Awesome. Are box jumps something you normally do?

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

Thank you, yes. Well it depends on if I am training for explosiveness. I'd say I go periods of just training for strength only, then on other training cycles work in explosive exercises as well as the strength work. Box jumps and squat jumps are by far my 2 favorite power movements.

[@itsjustrobbieok]

Thanks, I've recently started running The Cube Method, box jumps could slot in quite nicely. would just need to find somewhere to do them!!

[@fofangfizz]

You killed him! His box jump wasn't even legit

[@grand433]

Why are not bent over rows included in your free program as one of the personal preferred back exercises ?

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

You still can use it,, but lower back fatigue is the main reason. That can cause issues when on an upper/lower split. But as I said, if you want to, you can certainly use it.

[@grand433]

okay, great program btw

[@TheJwalk1234]

candito must be only like 5'6

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

I'm exactly 5'7" on the dot without shoes.

[@Blazetopia]

What song is this??!!?!?!?!? PLEASE

[@AlexLeonidas]

Fuarkkkkk

[@SMWTheBar]

That's ridiculous hombre.

[@itsrobbyjames]

You can jump a 60inch !! No doubt !!!

[@SomeoneMovement]

Damn nice bro! You could go a bit higher!

[@JeffO-]

Apparently you haven't heard that white men can't jump.

[@stevboo]

You should do a front flip over a car or something.. Thatd be cool

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

I'm going to do some dunk videos. That's really my goal for this, being 5'7" it'll look cool if I can really throw down.

[@MrJ1S]

great hops but doesn't it make it easier because your jumping on something that has some give? the big thing under the plates goes down as you hit it. or does it make no difference? what is your standing vert? and did you do any warmups before attempting this box jump?

[@BLaQz84]

He has to get on top of it for it to give, so I'd say it doesn't matter...

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

No it won't make any difference because I have to clear the plates before it compresses. The landing has no impact whatsoever as far as how difficult it is. As far as my warmups, it's a bit of an interesting story. I did this at 1:40 AM right after stopping at a gas station which is why you can see a diet coke bottle on the bench in the background. I was going to just come to the gym to measure the boxes for future reference. So I didn't warm up extensively since I wasn't working out. But I figured nobody was around so I just started box jumping, gradually increasing the height by a plate each rep. I did this video in about 15 min.

[@BostonSportsGuy567]

If the surface "gives" it means that the normal force provided when he's pushing off the ground would be less, making the jump even harder. Imagine jumping off soft play-doh.

[@MrJ1S]

BostonSportsGuy567 what hes landing on gives, not the ground. a box jump doesn't count unless you can stick the landing. so i was thinking that it made it easier to stick the landing. if he was jumping off something soft then yes you would be right

[@MrJ1S]

CanditoTrainingHQ does it make it easier to stick the landing? box jumps dont really count unless you stick the landing right? and mant i i gotta warm up in a suana and then dynamic stretch to open up my hips just to jump on something 41inches. if you did some stretch//warmup i guesss you could clear 60.

[@matthews8664]

His was from a dead stop and you had a little hop in your motion, still some serious bounce though

[@PugzFTW]

i think he had a tiny little hop too just from getting into position (if you look at his body closely and listen to the sound), hard to tell because you can't see his feet at the beginning of the clip.

[@joshnarlesky3042]

CANDITO- yo im doing your program and when doing the other movements that arent being tracked with percentages like the OH dumbell press...when u ask for 3 sets of 6 lets say, should those 3 sets be of my max 6 reps or ?

[@CanditoTrainingHQ]

It should be a weight where it is difficult but not to failure. So let's say your 6 rep max doing one all out set would be with 55 lbs dumbbells. Then you'd likely want to use 45 lbs DB's for the 3 sets of 6. You should have a rep or 2 in the tank but still some quality intensity overall.

[@joshnarlesky3042]

thanks for the response, i have been doin my max for the amount of reps it was asking llol now i know
