Bro, Thank you very much for sharing these exercises, I live in the country Buenos Aires, Argentina that our currency is devalued and the dollar here is very high. That's why I can't afford your program, excuse me, that's why I'm going to follow it and apply all the exercises to increase my Vertical jump. Give you a hug and may God bless you reaching more people in the world. Thanks for sharing! 🇦🇷🇺🇸🗑️🏀🙌

The sled is the hard part on getting access to. But thanks for the great content and love how your expertise is such that you can comfortablly learn from others. We all learn from you!

Is it really? You can also tie some cartires to eachother and drag those around…

@@gaatzeuitzendevries3220 pushing and pulling are different mechanics

[@PLLskipOnPURPLE]

Just find a nice long flat parking lot and push your car backwards, you don’t need a harness or anything I’ve been doing it everyday after work for like 10 minutes my knees feel great

[@nondrowzee]

You can replace the sled with resistance bands. I use the green bands from rouge and tie them to something for when Im doing backwards walks

[@andywestrick]

no kidding to hell with the sled I can't use one anywhere!

[@davyjones419]

To add to Ben's cue to drive during the sled push; you can see that Ben has a bit of an explosive pop at the end of his stride where he appears to get full extension through the knee and hip.

[@BigBen1994]

Simple, box jumps, ankle weights, toe raises, weighted vest, and wear those things in your shoes that keep you on the balls of your feet. I dunked at age 13 doing this and was touching the top of the square at 6'0. I haven't had to do this like I used to because I grew to 6'7 lol 😆

At 6 foot you should be able to dunk. Guys at asian countries dunking only standing at 5’8 or 5’9.

I first learned about kneesovertoesguy from this channel and it really was one of the best things for me.

[@josephmarlowe9917]

does he incorporate plyos? or is it all strengthening ranges of motion?

[@charliebroussard8505]

I'll probably never do this guy's program, but I think it's awesome that he was able to find a work around to achieve his goals without using "traditional" strength training methods like heavy back squats, deadlifts, power cleans, etc. This is EXACTLY why strength and conditioning is so awesome! There are so many different ways to achieve one outcome. It doesn't matter what exercises you pick. It's about how you're doing them, how relevant they are to the outcome you're trying to achieve (bicep curls aren't gonna be the breakthrough for your vertical, for instance), and how you continue to make them more challenging. Specificity, overload, progression.

[@seanandrews5329]

Well the thing about those training methods is that they don’t train the hamstrings, tibialis, hip flexors, vmo, or rotator cuff muscles, which are all important when it comes to overall strength. The reason why Ben (the kneesovertoesguy in the video) made his own paradigm was for the sake of doing everything he could to get his goals. The traditional strength training methods that you refer to simply don’t train the right stuff enough, especially at the stage Ben was at having been through so much pain his whole life with. The risks that happen when doing those exercises listed are also high, and the progressions are generally not emphasized enough.

[@charliebroussard8505]

@@seanandrews5329 That's literally not true what you've just said. You don't know what you're talking about. Traditional strength methods train all of those muscles you've listed. Just because you don't isolate a muscle in training, doesn't mean it isn't being worked effectively. If traditional strength methods didn't work, people simply wouldn't be doing them after all this time. Like I said, there are many ways of achieving a goal. Ben simply found a different way to do it, which is awesome.

[@JDog3943]

​@Charlie Broussard why would you only train certain muscles religiously twice a week and then others don't need to be trained because "they're hit indirectly"? Triceps are hit indirectly doing any pressing movements but you still train those separately?

[@fredrikstangberg5472]

What about actual JUMPING?🤔 This is good part of it. But when it comes to increasing VERTICAL JUMP we need to train JUMPING! I know Garage strength knows this from his videos, but Kneesovertoesguy almost never mention this (not even in his 8 pillars of Jump Transformation video). We need plyoes/jump exercises to increase JUMP FORM and prepare/strengthen the tendons/muscles/ligaments. Keep up the work people 💪 (P.s. Kneesovertoesguy deleted my comment when I wrote this on their video, guess they can't take constructive criticism 🤷‍♂️)

[@Alex-rg2kk]

I agree I was thinking the same thing since I don’t know much about fitness and I just got into sports and want to improve my jump starting from 0. I guess they think that’s obvious and are trying to show you the thing no one’s does? but if that is the case then it’s a bit careless to not even make a mention of it

[@Messup7654]

@@Alex-rg2kk if you need help just do plyometrics for the best results you can add in strength training and different movements of jumping(sleds would be here).

[@agookchild]

bruh that’s a shame they removed your comment. How do you improve your running: NOT running?

[@stevenewer1]

Its very simple boys and girls... Of course you can jump and if u do it the same over and over and nothing else you will hit a peak obviously and then just plateau. When you add variety to your training in a manner that applies to a bigger jump then youll go to a new peak. Its not complicated to understand its simple enough for any dumbass to get it or do you just think that usain bolt just turned up daily to run afew 100ms and that was it 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

[@youngsuit]

ive had an injured back for years now (KOTG's tip on using the roman chair helps though!) - i joined a gym in pittsburgh that specifically had sleds so i could get my legs and cardio in without having to possibly risk my back again on squats and deads while i was recovering. how much distance do you recommend doing the sled pulls and pushes?

[@seanandrews5329]

[@datoolz0]

I think rather than the sled uphill and downhill sprints are better for developing lower leg explosive speed. Nordic curl is irreplaceable, glad to see that people who have been doing it for longer than me have impressive ability to actually raise themselves up!! I never even heard of tibialis raise before, do people with strong legs need to bother with this? If so what are reps and sets per week 6-10 reps to fatigue 3-5 sets with 3 minutes rests This session can be done 2-3 times per week Is this volume of work enough?

[@lucaitaliano3229]

Yes

[@Endure.Fitness]

Highly recommend rib raises

[@datoolz0]

@@Endure.Fitness What are rib raises? Tibialis raises?

Yes tibialis. I added them in about 6 months ago and have noticed they help a lot with my knees and ankles. Especially when running

@@Endure.Fitness I am trying to hit from 84 seconds to run 400m 60 seconds. Shoiuld I just stick to running 400m? I am improving by 6 seconds every month, at that rate I will hit target in 4 months. Or alternatively also do tib raises, pistol squats and nordic curls every other day and run 400s on alternate days?

Is it better to push slower/walking or explode and “sprint”? Maybe do it one way one day and the next session do it the other way?

Jesus is Lord Repent and trust in him He loves you so much ❤️ He changed my life completely and gave me the Holy Spirit We are sinners and deserve hell for eternity Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. No one of us is sinless. The good news: Jesus the son of God came to the world lived a complete sinless life and took the punishment on the cross that we deserve. But Jesus came back to life 3 days later. We need a savior. 20. Romans 5:8-10 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! You can not work your way in to heaven (“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9 You can only enter heaven through faith in Jesus Christ.
