Hi Colin, with so much junk muscle building advice on KZbin it feels like a climbing through a junkyard whereas your channel feels like a breathe of fresh air with your to-the-point & modest attitude. I am now subscribed and hope you continue to do more videos. Btw, with a name and hair like yours I’m going to bet you have Irish ancestry like me hahaha

Yep I’m Irish glad to see my Irish brother is liking the channel. Thank you!

The dunk at 3.44 is crazy this is why I have mad respect for people training for dunks these days that landing could easily be worse happening especially if/when the defence makes a bit of contact. That's tough!!!! Thanks for the vid. :)

Greetings from Brazil! I started doing this like a month ago, and I was barely touching the backboard when I started, like, the points of my fingers almost touching it for all. I know its not a big time gap, but now I'm touching the backboard with my palm, hope I can touch the rim this year. Thanks a lot!

Substitute the hang cleans for weighted jumps. They don’t even need to be super heavy. Works the same muscle and since there is minimal technique it is ideal for athletes

I’m 5’11 barely grabbing rim tryna dunk by the end of summer. thanks for the tips!!

[@nicolasgains]

Hey! I have been using the same exact work ethic for about 4 months now and just stumbled in to this video. I wonder tho, while in your strength and power phases, do you still do plyos? I'm currently on a strength phase, and I'm still doing plyos 2 twice a week + a jump day (focusing on technique) aside from my basketball training. I assume that on your speed phase you deload on the weight room, but I'd like to know if you completely drop the weights for that phase or just deload. Thanks!
