[@capalot938]

Hey a have a problem that im carrying behind from two months and still now I don’t know what to do. When i do my penultimate step i land with both feet at the same time instead doing 1-2 like you and a lot of pro dunkers.. but i feel it’s more natural for me and when i step 1-2 i jump lower than when i land with both feet and i feel like im not explosive. My standing vertical is 30 inches and my running jump is less 😔should i change my technique?

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Most likely, hard to say without actually seeing it. It sounds like you are jumping into a jump and you need to relearn the transfer of linear force by stepping and striking the heel. Start with only 2 steps into the jump, master this and then try to add more force with more steps. It will take time and repetition - minimum 500 jumps. In the end it should improve!

[@capalot938]

Simple Speed Coach thank you so much i will try!💯

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

@@capalot938 No Problem!

[@damjanostrelic6017]

I noticed that you use full dorsiflexion going heel-to-toe on the first step and then with the trailing foot you step flat or almost on toes right before the jump. Is this the correct technique?

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Absolutely, exactly what I teach in the video and to my everyday athletes.

[@ary_x0582]

I'm 14, 5'9 and have a 31/32 inch vert is that good? And if you bring up your legs (like many dunkers do) does that give you a little jump boost like the arm swing? Thanks for the tips!

Awesome, yes anything over 30" is considered good. A small leg kick or bend behind you may give you a slight boost, but nothing like powerful arms will.

how often should practice jumping every week

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Great question! Really depends on your goals, age and sport. However, I would say you could go UP to 5 times per week. The only overload is your body weight and if you were per say a basketball player, you jump everyday. Dedicated just jumping practice a good place to start would be 2 days per week 20 jumps per day.

I have a queation pls respond,so for me it comes natural to end my approach with the right foot,even though i am right handed..should i learn to do it normally?is it making me lose height?

Normal is whatever is most comfortable. What foot you step in with typically only matters if you are on one side of the volleyball court or trying to dunk right handed. Many of my athletes naturally jump just like you. You are not losing height!

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Good question. Not necessarily, some people are more natural one way or the other. Your probably not losing height, however, when I dunk a basketball or strike a volleyball with my right hand, it makes more sense to lead with the right foot. Try both, but do what is natural.

[@hi-fd8eq]

Thats normal for a right handed player to end with the right foot

[@adammesheia]

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

@@adammesheia Good question. When testing your max vertical, you should lead with the foot that is most comfortable. However, you may need to learn how to lead with both feet for specific techniques in different sports. So long answer short, no. Train to improve both.

My vertical is absolutely horrible, I’m 6” 2” and 14, but I can only hit the backboard with half my hand.

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Yes, relearn to jump like this video is teaching. I will also attach a playlist that includes strength, jump and plyometric exercises. How to Jump Higher: kzbin.info/aero/PLDETP0bNOyEBMvZwfTNB-tYVe_7jzrKJN

[@oscarpayne2199]

Simple Speed Coach I find jumping off one foot works better for me should I do anything different?

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

@@oscarpayne2199 1 is fine. But learning to jump off of 2 will eventually be more powerful. Think about the dunk contest and how often they jump off 2. It takes time, 100's if not 1000's of jumps to create a new habit and improve your approach vertical. Put in the time and it will be worth it!

[@wyattwww]

what are the main muscles i should train to increase my vert

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Obviously the muscles of the leg - calf, quad, glute, hamstring. However, you must learn to control force, which starts with the core. It's not just strength - but which type - you must be able to concentrically explode and eccentrically load with force. I would also train the ankle and foot - toes, arch, and anterior tibialis. So pretty much everything!

[@wyattwww]

@@SimpleSpeedCoach i’m 5’7 and hv a 31 inch standing vert but my running vert is only like 34 inches. is my form the main reason why i’m not getting much higher? sorry for bothering u, just trying to get better

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

@@wyattwww No problem! A 3 inch differential between the two is better than most. However, improving form will improve height on your running vert. Repetition is your greatest teacher - more reps = better neuro improvement and improved jump height. Keep working on efficient transfer of energy to add velocity to your approach and inches to your jump!

Great question, that really depends on on quite a few things: skill level, amount of previous training, body comp, relative strength and so much more - I've obviously never seen you jump. At 13 with those dimensions, I would say anything over 20 inches. I have 13 year olds that jump 30+ inches, so it really just depends. This is a skill learned and improved by repetition, It may take 100's if not a 1,000 approach jumps to build a efficient explosive habit. Keep working!!

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Not if done correctly and with shoes. All about angles and force application. Watch how I strike in the video.

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Well, I guess 15 feet is the goal then!

Hi

So you telling me i can jump and break my roof

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Maybe, go for it!

[@drefopist4041]

I've been watching this video for a few days now and I still can't get it down. I have strong legs and I'm pretty quick on my feet but I think I'm just too uncoordinated. I'm only 5'8 but I have a pretty big wingspan so I figured that might help but it really hasn't. Do you have any advice?

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Practice, Practice, Practice! It may take 100's of repetitions to retrain your brain. You are trying to break an old habit and create a new one. It takes time, persistence and repetition. Initially you may feel like you are getting worse because your brain is moving slower as it rewires. The more you do it, the faster it will be able to send the proper signals and your movement will improve along with your vertical! The best jumpers didn't become that way in a few days - to master your craft it takes time, effort and work. Below is a playlist of more jumping and power videos that can help improve mechanics, strength and explosiveness. Keep up the hard work!

[@manfredconnor3194]

But seriously, how high can you jump in feet/yards, cm/meters, I am curious. Give me your results...

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Said it in the video - You got to watch all the way through! Standing - 37 inches. (3 Ft, 1 in) Approach - 42.5 inches (3 ft, 6.5 in)

How high do u think your vert is right now

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Not as high as it once was, probably around 38 inches, used to be ~42.5 inches!

[@menashaker6659]

How come we're running on our toes

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Toes or Ball of Foot - whichever cue helps. You sprint on the ball of your foot and create a longitudinal and transverse arch.

[@travis_loves_cougars6451]

[@travis_loves_cougars6451]

@@SimpleSpeedCoach thanks and your tips for jumping did not work

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

@@travis_loves_cougars6451 Like I stated in the video, it takes time. It won't change in one day and you have to practice repetitively (build a good habit) to improve. My athletes typically see a 2-4 inch increase in their vertical over 3 months of training. Check out some other jumping / power videos: kzbin.info/aero/PLDETP0bNOyEBMvZwfTNB-tYVe_7jzrKJN.

[@johnm3054]

jumping from your heel is how you get injuries tho.

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

You're not jumping from your heel, your striking your heel first to efficiently transfer energy, load and then leap off the ball of your foot. It is called a penultimate step and the best jumpers around the world utilize it!

[@toridevotion9380]

how bad could this exercise be to your knees?

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

If your working proper mechanics, not terrible. Obviously there is a lot of force going through your knees when jumping and landing. But that is why you take time to learn the mechanics. Plyometrics should be done in moderation, but with consideration of how often you jump in your sport. Make sure to work all areas of sport performance including strength, balance, mobility and force absorption.

[@briannacruze6089]

It's jumping...what kind of question is this?!

[@SimpleSpeedCoach]

Thanks Brianna. No comment from me!

[@johnames6430]

This type of training is not for fat people, you should have low bodyfat percentage before doing jump training or other plyometric exercises. It's a lot of force on the knee.

[@ZodiacXDG]

@@johnames6430 thats not true
