How to Jump Higher for basketball players

[@mayowaoni5908]

I’m not gonna lie. When I first watched this video, I was in disbelief. After watching it again, it makes more sense to me. Much appreciated

[@maplejuiiice]

More videos to come. Thanks for giving the video a chance!

[@healthiswealth6237]

I hot my bounce up MOSTLY with plyios kneeling jumps superset'd with knee tuck jumps, seated box jumps, and depth jumps are all good. Track exercises like butt kicks, A skips, and bounds help as well.

power cleans pull-ups & pizza 💪🏿

[@injusticeberserker2800]

When I was a kid I could dunk and do all kinds of athletic activities. Now that I’m 32 I can barely touch the rim lol I just wanna jump again!

[@maplejuiiice]

Slowly progress back up. I'd start with running again it's less stress on the knees.

[@Nezuko-bn2sw]

I jump 2 feet and reach the hoop, but I haven't nailed it yet, I feel like I can do more, but I don't have the right strength in my legs, what exercises do you recommend I do to gain strength in them?

[@yeatdagoat173]

W advice. WHat about sprinting. I think for hoopers that are tryna improve, weight room, sprinting and actually dunking are probably the best way to jump higher. W vid tho

[@maplejuiiice]

It is, but hoopers be doing doing much volume it be stunting their growth, yk

[@houseofhoopers6879]

Also, you can get your sprints in practice or games

[@timboslice8559]

Bro you’re wrong just playing basketball is not plyos, that’s mostly cardio. Pylos are definitely important along with strength training

[@maplejuiiice]

It depends on your play style. As I said in the video, if you're 3 n D, it's definitely not plyos.

[@eddysmith4018]

Hi love the video and plan to start soon just wondering how often to do strength and eventually power training?

[@maplejuiiice]

I do power training more, and actually don't do too much strength work. I am on the higher velocity side for 2 foot jumping. Normally, I go from my highest velocity activities to my lowest and do strength as accessory work. I could training more optimally doing strength more often, but it bores me tbh. My average split in a day is usually 40% velocity, 30% power, 20% strength. I usually do a bit of everything every day. How you train depends on what kind of jumper you want to be.

[@eddysmith4018]

@@maplejuiiice that helps a lot but how many times a week would that be

[@user-xl1dg8mw4j]

I’m gonna start doing squats, deadlifts, hipthrusts, calf raises. Can you please tell me how much I need to do for each, for reps and sets?

[@colonelh.stinkmeaner140]

Keep the reps low and the sets high For strength most people don’t do a set with more than 5 reps Number of sets definitely depends on how much you can handle. Start with a few and work your way up to see how much you’re able to tolerate

[@maplejuiiice]

There isn't really an exact number, I wouldn't do more than 10 tho and, intent matters more drive the bad with 100% effort after your workup set/s! When your power drops significantly end the set. Or until u reach technical failure.

[@timboslice8559]

Basketball practice is not pylos that’s cardio mainly. Trust me pylos are great you just need strength too

[@kishui3168]

when you say don't do plyos, do u mean cut them out completely or just do them less?

[@maplejuiiice]

Depends on how much you do daily. I do lots of plyos as I'm hooping, so I just don't do them in the summer as I hoop every day. In the winter, I do plyos bout 2-3 times a week. If your Play style doesn't involve plyos(3 n D) players, I'd do plyos often.

[@Nezuko-bn2sw]

Do you have a Spanish channel or one that translates what you say please ?

[@KAGR9384]

im 5'6 and i can windmill dunk off the dribble at 10" or atleast im about to hit my first. you can jump higher just by playing basketball and be athletic and just run run and jump like the more you jump and you put in your max effort thats how you can improve your bounce, if you want to take your progress to the next level find some proper training program and put in the work

[@maplejuiiice]

You can jump higher by just running n jumping but it's not optimal unless you are super lightweight!

[@jeanhamid205]

And for beginners should you do plyos then strenght then power or plyos then strenght then power. Like what should a beginnerwanting to jump higher start with?

[@squid-_-4383]

You should start with your fastest/most explosive movements before your slower/less explosive movements, ex; max approach jumps then power cleans then heavy squats.

[@WadaMalone]

Don't sweat the details too much though. When you're young it's as simple as more jumping will make you better at jumping. You can optimize the process but just putting in the time will give you decent gains either way. A better diet and good quality sleep will make a much bigger difference than any technicalities in your training would.

[@maplejuiiice]

It doesn't matter too much, but the way u described it is the most optimal imo.

[@maplejuiiice]

This is exactly how I work out, but as a beginner, it's best to leave power training for when u get a foundation of strength. Which is what I think he was more implying

[@maplejuiiice]

Heal up quick brother 🙏🏾

[@straightoutdanawf13]

Shii bro I just recovered from one. Make sure u dedicate urself to physical therapy and strength training. U gon come back better fs

[@alancenteno9804]

Is there a way to do this but with calisthenics? I already jump pretty high (2 foot vertical more or less) and I want to be stronger and maybe get to a 3 foot vertical jump. I am too young to go to the gym, so I only do calisthenics. Thanks in advance!

[@caitheguy12]

Pistol squats

[@maplejuiiice]

Exactly what I was gonna say lol 😆

[@maplejuiiice]

I was gonna make another video for beginners, but I'll just say it now if u just do 3 sets of 20 jump squats max effort, your legs should feel swollen. People might say it's too much volume, but when ur a beginner, ur not producing enough force to do significant damage to ur tendons, so keep jumping!

[@alancenteno9804]

[@SP3XTRO]

Sprint with full rest both acceleration and top speed. jump with max intensity rest a little between each jump, stop when performance on each rep drops Lift heavy weights, isometrics for health and hypertrophy based work (In correct doses) for muscle specific to jumping and that helps with basketball. Remember to balance volume and intensity of sessions or training day with consideration of your own tissue health and workload of skill and team trainings.

[@maplejuiiice]

I try to but always overdue the volume, lol

[@thereallegend4lyfe]

Squats and deadlifts compress your spine

[@delta6847]

But prolly only temporarily if you dont completely overdo it

[@siarmoshref1027]

Not a chance, with correct form your back should not feel anything at all for that matter. I started lifting at 16 and I still grew like A LOT. Its all about not ego lifting 600 pounds and trying to show off.
