Do These Drills And You Will Jump Higher

My name is Isaiah Rivera and I have the highest officially tested vertical on the planet at 50.5 inches and am the co-founder of THPstrength, a company that focuses on vertical jump training for athletes.
What makes me a little different from most athletes that jump high is that I started with a pretty low vertical and documented my entire journey on this channel. Here is my journey in a nutshell:
14: Started working out to jump higher for basketball
16: Hit my first dunk and shortly after found out about the world of pro dunking
17: Trained like a madman and hit my first between the legs dunk
18: Entered my first professional dunk contest
19: Knee pain almost made me quit dunking
20: Met my coach John Evans, who helped me get rid of knee pain
21: Won my first international dunk contest
22: Tested a 48 inch vertical and started coaching full time
24: Tested a world record 50.5 inch vertical
The reason I make so much free content about jumping higher now is because it’s a resource I wish I would’ve had when I was in high school that would’ve prevented a lot of unnecessary mistakes and injuries.
My mission is to share my passion and love for dunking and training and to make dunking an officially recognized sport.
I hope that I can be an inspiration for your jump training and dunking journey,
Isaiah

[@Elimsbored]

Thanks for the content and motivation guys, definitely helping me as I grind my way towards my first 10 foot dunk.

[@dalebrown8437]

Hussein heric how do you get that high??? i’m 14 and barely grabbing rim

[@ressy673]

Think you need a thicker foam for those reverse knee extensions to protect your knees. Other than that solid work as always!

i feel like i’m kinda training my bounce bad bc i haven’t gone outside. i been doin the workouts and when it comes to jumping i keep hitting my head hard on my 8 foot ceiling. measured it today. i’m 6’3. so should i go outside before i train myself to jump lower ? and what do you think my bounce is ?

Bro I can relate. I'm 5'11.94". My ceiling is the same height and I hit my head if I jump inside. You should just go outside.

hey Isaiah have you ever had lower right abdominal pain during/post training? I'd been working hard on dunk training for like 2 months and I've hit a total bump in the road. Even went to the ER and they didn't know what's up.

[@ChaseBlank]

Do these help with one foot jumping

[@donchristianaquino9047]

How many times a week do you usually do this sir? Thaaanks!

[@therealdominicanballer9878]

Isiaj will you be doing a live anytime soon?

[@davidseney7588]

I'm on my way! So far my standing vert is 29-30 inches and my max vert is 38-39 inches. Went from 161 to 177 pounds and increased my max vertical 3 inches(5months) Now cutting back down to 161 hopefully worst case scenario 165. My body generally gains 1 inch every two pounds of fat I lose from jumping. So I figure my max will be (42-45) once I get back down(3-4 month cut.)

[@eapenmathew5899]

Why are some of the hopping drills done with plantar flexion and another one is with dorsiflexion?

[@JohnEvans]

Involves the goals for each of us

[@MrBigTawesome]

Ive been doing vertical training hard to shock my body the past couple of weeks and my right glutei hurts when I put weight on it and have had to take 5+ days off training, will this affect me that much, and also is it bad if I start trying to train when I'm sore like that?

[@ye7743]

How long is your hand

[@finallygoated2361]

Im trying to get better . im still worthless but i try to achieve my goal of dunking soon. My page had some dunks on a 9 ft. But if i continue i might just make it. Thanks for the help

Do you have any exercieses to stabilizie my ankle. I sprained it a few weeks ago and I need exercieses for the recovery... (Maybe you can do a video like the video about knee pain.) Would be very nice if you answer the question. Even if you've got no exercieses, just that I know you'e read this✌🏽

[@underrated7725]

I was wondering if a 43 year old man can increase his hops? I'm 5"11 and i can still dunk but man my knees be soar afterwards. I see yall youngsters jumping they way yall do and i just get pumped. My dunking days are pretty much over but i still think i got a couple creative dunks in me. Any tips?

[@riot2136]

Underrated 77 I’m not an expert but I’ve heard isometric exercises can help reduce knee pain and strengthen tendons so you might want to look into those if you haven’t yet. Guys like Isaiah and Anthony Hamilton Jr have a couple videos on reducing knee pain also, so that might help. Good luck my guy

He has a low insertion(John Evans)

[@daniilhershtynovich5595]

Hey Isaiah, I’m 6’7 and play volleyball on a high level, so therefore I need to also keep my knees on a high level too. It’s been hard to grow the vastus medialis. Any tips on that?

[@journeyisending]

I am guessing your vert is like 5 inches ??

[@jamie7622]

Train knee extension, that’s the only movement which the Vastus Medialis can produce. You can’t isolate it without working the other quads but focusing on that movement should help.

[@kadenmh1865]

What are your meals throughout the day

[@calbear105]

Why is John doing plyos with shorter ground contact time? Is it because he’s a 1 leg jumper and you’re two leg?

[@florianmaisan1076]

Thx for converting the lbs in kg 🤣

[@robertdisibio3239]

does john do lunges bc he’s a 1 foot jumper

[@mjgould1192]

he does it because he has hip problems and deep hip flexion is uncomfortable for him. But he has also stated that a reverse lunge is is a little more specific than a back squat for single leg jumping and accelerating.

[@mjgould1192]

now that i’m watching the video those are split squats that john was doing but my first comment still applies

[@hughhagen4968]

could i be a pro dunker if im a 5'9" 14 yo with a 30" vert and my dad had 37" in his prime

[@thomaseddison8654]

Yes, but you will have to have long arms at 5‘9 or grow a few inches more in general. And of course get a higher vert than your father. But yes of course it is possible, you’re only 14 yet got luck

[@neoswordian91]

Isiaiah. There is one radical thing you can do to increase your vert further, but I doubt you, or anyone, would want to do it. You prolly don’t have more than 1-3” of growth left max otherwise imo.

[@jaysherman4149]

Good form on the squats but fwiw sooner or later something bad will probably happen doing them without a safety rack. Maybe not for decades but people have had gruesome injuries. Not worth the chance.
