Now that it's getting warm i will be posting more workout videos folks...be patient. A tutorial video on how to increase your vertical. Starting with the basics and as the athlete gets stronger the workout difficulty increases. teaching proper form for power, agility, strength, and stability to increase vertical leap. Eventually gaining the power to dunk a basketball, or high jump, long jump, triple jump..play soccer, football or whatever requires explosive leaping ability.

12 years later and this series is still the cream of the crop on youtube

[@smithfamilytv03]

It’s crazy as a kid i learned to jump from watching DESTORM😂😂I never would think i’d be back here reminiscing. Destorm really was ahead of his time

[@khyrilewis2317]

It's the dude from vine!!!!!

[@thefunnyeskimo]

this is absolutely brilliant one of the better vertical jump videos on youtube: 1.the host has character 2.the exercises work and are easy and realistic to do 3.your not trying to make a load of money from it even though i'd pay $5 to see this anyway thank you very much :)

[@snow_maneburner5835]

6"3 can't dunk grabbing rim

[@petar000petar]

+Noah Ward wow your vertical is weak. Work on it

[@ricecooker4928]

Keep working!! You'll get there.

[@BlindGinger]

How did that turn out for you

[@snow_maneburner5835]

Nah I can dunk now last year I couldn't

[@theSINGINGjaysmoove]

Same :(

[@wjojtek]

He talks and does it all with so much passion that it's a real pleasure to watch his vids.

[@1superbro]

You gone be gone

[@DeStorm]

depending on your body yes u should take 2 to 3 days btween plyos...as or weights as long as ur not lifting heavy..u may wanna do the lifting the same day as plyos so your body can rest on those days off

[@Lcarnley21]

I am a personal trainer who does sport specifice training with high school kids. Your stuff is spot on--I use a lot of it with my basketball players. I love your videos. keep them coming.

[@yonutz92dogg]

this is great , can't wait for part III. I have 3 little questions : 1 - how can you get that ankle area slimmer 2 - what do you mean by cooling down after a ball game or practice and 3 - what kind of stretching should us consider, is dynamic before and static after (practice) good enough? thank you a lot for everything you do, this is really helpful.

[@judosheldon10]

I'm really impressed with this video..its informative and presented in a down to earth manner that makes it easy to watch. This dude has really made a study of fitness..way to go man!

[@BroScro]

De Storm, I want to let you know that I appreciate your vids so much

[@Shpauly]

man you have the best vertical jump exersise videos on you tube, cant wait for vol 3

[@arfoe]

dude, this is some really great stuff man, it really does work. I have the same recurring ankle problem that grant hill has and this has helped me regain the spring in my step that i had back in high school. keep bringing on the videos bro, thanks a lot.

[@rashadsultan]

much respect for this video and your others. i really appreciate you taking the time to explain not only the exercises but the details behind it. thank you.

[@TheRamblingRamReviews]

Your videos are brilliant. You teach with such passion, enthusiasm and positivity and make the information genuinely interesting to learn. Subscribed!

[@rmun3y]

this has to be one of the best help videos ive ever seen

[@QEIFGHIQAGFL]

..... im an athletic trainer and im not really sure why you guys are knocking this guy so much, the info this guy is giving is completely true

[@lalem91]

you, sir, are the man. im 6'7" and as sad as it sounds i couldnt dunk before i started training with your first video. im going to get a medicine ball here soon and do this one next. thanks for everything that part about training the outer sides of your legs is exactly what i needed to so i could up my offense. trying to walk on to a team this fall if i can get good enough

[@qingyin1789]

this series is actually better than the dunknow programme i bought for 70 bucks, good stuff

[@alucryts]

wow. your knowledge of the muscles in the leg is incredible. great videos, instant fan here

[@MrRic029]

Great videos I can do the pistol squad yet I've never done some of the other exercises you showed. I will start working extremely hard on them and post any results. I'm a die hard beach volleyball player and I'm counting on these work outs to increase my vertical even more.

[@Raptorel]

Very good points man, good job. You should talk about leaning backward in the amortization phase for better leverage and posterior chain involvement.

[@DeStorm]

i kinda follow my "getting fit or dummies" video...when it comes to eating. I usually workout or an hour or so....and as or best time to work out....it all depends on the individual...my body doesnt usually wake up to do a workout until the afternoon so i go then..butthats just me...some ppl do best in the morning

[@severmine]

Dude, I love anatomy and biomechanics. This video was great! I'm gonna get started on part 1 now

[@MrPatchesOhoulihan]

Destorm is the shizzy! Thank you for the free exercises. You are a good instructor and easy to understand. I was freakin out when you squatted to the ground with one leg. That was awesome.

[@ky09]

thanks for the help my jumping abilities have always been somewhat limited throughout my sports career so far so hopefully this will help.

[@jerster8]

thanks for the vid man, i only have a 25 inch vert right now. your exercises look like they will help me a lot

[@VerticalJumpPrime]

I like the way you explain how the exercise will benefit the athlete

[@harpuis]

Thanks man, I started doing your workouts and Now I got hops and a full ride basketball scholarship.

[@dingdongfu]

Thats simply the two best "how to" videos i've seen, nice drills!

[@Reezie78]

Hey Destorm I came across your vids due to your pistachio comercial (great song)! I had no idea you did these sorts of vids and I have been watching and trainning from all sorts of other vids I find on youtube. I just wanted to say GREAT JOB and GREAT EXPLANATIONS!!! I will now watch ALL of your workout vids!

[@RickGrimes807]

Entertaining and useful! Thank you very much, I subscribed! As soon as I end my rehab due to both ankles injuries due to lack of carefulness, I'll train myself just like in your video! Thanks!

[@georgecarra]

BEST EXPLAINATION VIDEO ON KZbin. THANKS DESTORM

[@breonansley3823]

great tips my man! im training an athlete as he prepares for NFL mini camps and we will be incorporating those exercises!!

[@FLYLT]

This dude is funny as hale, he gives great advice and then throws a curse up in there. real talk I love it. Keep up the gppd work as the tutorials are helpful.

[@Bananafingers5002]

I was 5'6 and barely got net. Now I'm 5'7 and getting 1/4 of my hand on the backboard. Your exercises work. Thanks a lot!

[@FlyinPlatypus]

dude DeStorm you are Beast i am going into my freshman year and there are 2 people on my schools varsity basketball team that can dunk so with this i can impress my coaches and i might make the varsity as freshman

[@secondsunn4]

that weighted pistol squat in the end was serious...regular ones are hard enough...can't wait for part three

[@aerniax]

I watch all three parts of this video over and over. You jump so easily. I started to exercise and I hope I will jump as easily as You jump :)

[@TheNavyPanda]

3 years ago i had no idea who destorm was and now i love his vids my favorite is the modern warfare 3 song

[@xjArieswar]

I like the use of anatomy terms in Vol I & II

[@odinmp5]

when i was in highschool this would have helped a lot... man, your awesome...in my book you are better thna any one in the mba.. why?? because you share!!!

[@stat332]

great tutorial man, that one legged squat is really helpful

[@kevinho500]

What a great two part series on increasing your vertical this has been! Saw it some 4 to 5 years ago and learned a lot. Have you stopped videos on jumping and sprinting? Big time musician now, mhh, anybody knows? Best wishes and thanks +DeStorm Power

[@Brandonwattsmusic]

The same stuff my track coach teaches me..real good stuff man!!

[@osamabinladen221]

this guy knows his SHIT , thanks alot de storm, im a running back from canada.. when i make it imma make sure to thank you! bless

[@VerticalJumpKing]

Can you guys write some ideas on my channel of things I can jump on next?

[@HeyYoMikey]

This is pretty good, i have a workout by Tim Grover, the trainer of Michael Jordan, and this has some extra stuff that i have never done. the program is intense. Your ab videos are awesome too. Trying to get my vertical to 40 inches for Track at college.

[@inverney]

You're awesome. I have to do selection matches for korfball(some kind of basketball), and jumping is something i really have to work on. Cheers!

[@2veto3]

DeStorm you're the man!! I've gotta question... i've got these weights you can put around your ankle. what should i do with them? I'm kinda afraid I'm gonna hurt myself with them...

[@rb3883]

This is a great video, well thought out exercises most of which I have never seen before all with an explained and well thought out rationale, i'm off to the gym to give it go. Thanks very much.

[@Spec5ial5k5]

good shit man glad to see some new workouts on here not just the same stuff u see one everyone elses videos

[@mr3pointspecialist24]

yes! i can grab it but not quite enough to hold on. this video will really help you

[@jrair23lal]

when he did the high skip drill it looked like muay thai nice... but wow im going to try these out and see wat happens.. i notice this vid has the best rating than all the other jump training vids soo this must be good.. thanx for this vid..!!

[@S1lverspike]

this dude knows what hes talking about hes smart i didnt know there were so many workouts you could do

[@FoxFaderWorld]

All my jumping abilities came from running up and down 10 flights of stairs in the projects of the Bronx. I last dunked at age 35. I'm now 43, I can still leap, but not as high. Let's see if these exercises will get me back above the rim. Thanks for the help.

[@rivariad]

i didnt think i could get anywhere from youtube videos but finally.. thanks

[@cbdud]

For all the that doubt, if he can grab rim 2 hand off vert, you can definitly BOOM....HARD! Also, as a sprinter, explosive person, he's probably like those (myself included) that have 6-10" differecent from standing to running vert! Nice work man, rep BK...I used to live in Bedstuy Ralph Ave and Herkimer, Atlantic, Rockaway, etc.......

[@MikhailPeftiev]

Did not expect this video to be that good ! I do epriciate you work pal ! Thx a bunch !

[@nyczpro]

you the man dude. Love your exercises. Im definately gonna try these out.

[@TheEpicFailMan]

You are the best instructor evaH!

[@ko0ldudeZz]

The last exercise is insane!!!

[@d0inITweLL247]

yo...dat single leg dip at the end was ridiculous homie...wow...i tried that after watch'n and i think i jus pulled somth'n

[@BernieShadows]

destorm if you don't mind what the heck do you eat? How long do you workout? How many days of the week do you workout?.........and what's the best time to workout in the Morning, Evening or Night???

[@cheetahchug4800]

finnaly the answer to my problem!! i can now fully perform. cuz i used to dunk once and then ma shins start hurting thx detorm.

[@bposter41]

I am 5"2 - 5"3 14yrs old Philippine Kid[asian] and i can`t touch the backboard... in the past 1month.... but when i try this exercise in Half Month.. I can Barely Touch the Backboard thanks to this video.. it increases my vertical jump ... And thnx also for [DeStorm]

[@that1guy811]

You really are a plethora of knowledge!

[@DJMcIntosh93]

[@Alibalak1]

OMG , i thank this man yesterday i watch this and today in basketball i followed what he said and i gave the best player in our club , THE business!!! 8:17 .. thanks DESTORM

[@XMASHIBA]

Dude i love you man!! Im going to start doing these steps weekly ive also watched part 1 ! great work! cant wait till part 3 subbed! xD

[@GrIgZ23]

DeStorm - Just wondering, as we progress to Vol. 2, do we continue to do the exercises in Vol. 1, or is that only necessary for the first few weeks? Thanks and good work

[@raymodeman8882]

Im 13yrs old 5'8 and weigh about 165 and this volume and the others really helped increase my vertical leap now im can dunk

[@Haiticheri90]

yo thats amazing how i follow these work outs step by step now i'm dunking all over the place... lol thanks a lot man..

[@luvetohate]

cant wait for part 3. hopefully itll be as good as 1 and 2. ur awsome (thumbs up)

[@djmj1000]

thanks for sharing your jump videos, they are really helpfull

[@DoubleJ29]

Great video, I was also wondering how many reps and sets you recommend

[@BRETZERR]

Great vid's bro...like I said on your other vid: very informative, etc, etc... I am 5'10" and I used to have a consistent 45" vertical back when I was young (I am 32 now) and when I played ball a lot. I am trying to get that back now (I am around 40 inches now). Hopefully some of your ideas will help! Thanks for that...

[@PowerfulAndWise]

Thanks for another great vid DeStorm! How many reps and sets of each exercise should one do? How many days per week? Thanks a lot

[@scoobeedu]

this dude is a great teacher ! thanks Man!

[@crazyasianskills]

Nice I'm glad you but this up. What would you say is the most important muscle for jumping? I've heard glutes are.

[@mojothemonster2]

This was some really good stuff! The video was excellent. I gotta look for some more of his stuff.

[@street1life1]

Hey , one question please :D , What do you think about increasing vertical jump by lifting weights with legs etc. And should i be lifting like alot of reps and less weight , or less reps and bigger weights? Thanks ! I'm subscribing too!

[@tommydye3053]

Destorm awesome video. I need to know how to work my way up to the adequate strength and flexibility needed perform the "single leg power squats"

[@samahsamiee9659]

Thanks for spending your time to help us

[@sujatabhikkhuni]

Thank you SO much, I will be incorporating your every day I loved the info about plantar flexibility that makes so much sense and I didn't see the connection clearly until you, thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks for the plank toe push up, and the glute info too! You have my subscription for sure.

[@skip2mylou05]

weights will build strength which will help and needed as a foundation but plyometrics is probably more effective as its based on short ground contact time, so your jumping is quick and explosive increasing stretch shortening cycle and elastic energy basically increasing your explosive power. Check out more of this guys exercises or Air Alert or Jumpsoles

[@tyelder15]

5'8 183lbs. always been able to grab rim one and two- handed. i know my legs are weak so i'll practice these exercises. hopefully soon i'll be able to upload a response video of me throwing a few down.

[@JuggernaughtJump]

@alejandrothefader there is no exact amount. There is measurement, known : strength per pound of body weight. If you're on squats, it's the weight you squat divided by your total b.w. or "squat to body weight ratio" At bench it's bench to weight dead lifts etc. tall people lifts less and varies cause of longer limbs. The ratio to jump is accurate if you're 6'0" and below. A 2.2 x own weight squat parallels to 40 inch stationary vert

[@tyciol]

Your tutorials are excellent!

[@karinaduh29]

this video was coo man this dude needs to get paid for that quick question this summer i promised my little bro id build a home gym so he can step his basketball game up hes in jv in highschool but hes aiming for varsity is this work out gonna be too much? he only 14 and about 5"5 i want to make sure this wont mess with his growth

[@M0rph1n]

well...i can do well over 5 one-legged squats per leg when i'm warmed up, but i cank dunk yet :D...and that is actually a bit embarassing because i am 6f2in...i can grab the rim yea no prob, but i'm having trouble getting those couple of more cm-s to my vertical.

[@markcbusta]

Im 16 yrs old and i can only grab rim as 5"7". I just started doing Air Alert 3 and im wondering if you think it's a good program to follow. do u recommend it or do you have anything i should change or add? NICE VIDEO BTW

[@TheTruthDominates]

Great stuff, I'm doing everything you say! Waiting for part 3 :)

[@theycallmestino]

These videos are realy great man. Thanks for sharing these, I subscribed and look forward to your future videos!

[@Derekwwest]

Hey man. Excellent vid. Question though... How old are you? I turned 25 in march and am starting to find that my knees hurt more and more when I play (I also strained that tendon on the top of my knee under my quad lifting weights... thats starting to heal). I really am worried that I may have reached my peak that I won't ever be able to dunk (I have been grabbing rim since I was 16). What would you recomend for knee health. Im going to watch your first vid now.

[@50ruka]

this is a nice video for vertical jumping. Its great thet you show the drils

[@tolbeano1]

wow look at me mom haha.. man your exercises are second to none ive never seen anythin like it! thanks i cant wait to write up my own training with them!

[@Portboy]

Awesome information delivered in a very comical and understandable way! Great work and thank you for this! 8:42 'Alright homie, lets go home, we good' Haha! Brilliant.

[@Cybaster9]

Wow! I could only say "wow"! You are amazing!
