Jump Higher With This Workout: Absolute Strength Training

Starting a new training cycle. Shifting the focus this cycle from max strength to absolute strength. Also have a dunk contest coming up in a week that I'm currently training for!

squatting 405 at your height and weight is actually insane

[@colinsweller]

Bad ass. But definitely all red lights for depth on squats. I always so full range of motion calf raises where you actually flex your tibialis at the bottom, but I think doing them on flat ground heavy as hell like your doing is a great variation Iam going to add because that is going to help with your squat getting your cns primed for way heavier weight.

[@LukaLegend77]

I hit my calf raise record the other week of 325lb 10x, I use the smith machine and put a step up board under so my heels are going down

[@dennisrobinson8008]

This is very good advise. I like the knee warm ups. That old "knee shouldn't' go over toes" that was given for squatting advice maybe 10+ years ago was wrong. "Knees over toes" flexibility is crucial that an athletes knee joint should be able to go into that position comfortably. Having this mobility cuts down on irritation from workouts, i suspect by giving a little bit more room in the knee joint for the tendons and ligaments to move freely. In any case whatever the reason is it cut down on my sports training related knee irritation i get. Plus it's additional mobility for myself. Mobility is underrated and Isaiah very intelligently touches these points. Having this mobility ensures that the athlete can get into various athletic positions without binding and in an efficient manner. Mobility can improve your athletic performance.

[@borisstoilov4003]

For the calves we think, he should use the smith machine + this wooden thingy for step aerobics and watch over heels sholudn't fall below level of the stair, otherwise he goes into achilles and calves hyperextension, which may lead to inflamation other injuries and problems, the leg press machine is very good for calves too Best Regards Stay Strong and Healthy !

[@andybritishairways9427]

Great video, and yes it is a fine line between pushing yourself to the max and injury. You have good form which is highly important and reduces the risk of injury. I don't train with weights anymore more , I did try some light squats, deadlifts a while back and it felt fine . I'm just working on isometric training and body weight workouts at present and its working for me . However I would be tempted to do weights again at some point to build muscle in my legs to help with my off vert jump . Keep up the good work 👍

[@tjcogger1974]

Those "half squats" were damn near parallel. Especially 405

[@Improveathletics]

You are doing concurrent periodization if you are focusing on multiple strength qualities at the same time. Undulating periodization more so refers to fluctuating from high and low volume and intensity from day to day or week to week.

[@TwoBros_cz]

Q: Do you recommend any optimal weight using a Weighted Vest as an alternative to hexbar jumps? I want to buy one but not sure how much weight will be comfortable enough to use (maybe using lighter dumbbells additionally to the vest for a total of 100+lbs)

If you're willing you could try to start with the highest weight first then work your way down in weight as fatigue starts to kick in it's another great strategy to use 👍

It could be used, but its not as efficient, maybe in a deload week session could be incorporated Strength programs work slightly diferrent from hypertropy or conditioning programs.

When you do you calf raises like that you are utilizing the quads and not much calf activation and more of achillies also why you may feel it in your achillies. I don't think anyone has ever tore their achillies doing calf raises so you should be good.

Do weighted jumps if you are a serious High Jumper / Basketballer or some guy who really NEEDS jumping power. Otherwise it`s not worth it imho. Don`t underestimate the stress you put on your joints/spine (at young age) with weighted plyos. You`ll might regret it later...

Hey Isaiah, do u think its necessary to have a variety of training cycles for people who are starting in strenght training or just stick with a max strenght linear periodization untill you build a solid strenght base is enough? Much love from Brazil!!

[@istvanturke-siklody1367]

I know you didn't ask me, but in the first 3-4 months I wouldn't bother deloading. When you build some strength and start to get close to the barrier of your beginner gains deloading makes a lot more sense. If you don't bother testing a higher vertical in 2-3 months, than deloading is not for you, but as soon as you feel the amount of stress is substantial, you should deload during 2-3 weeks. And get back to lifting
