[@evansalcido9613]

squatting 405 at your height and weight is actually insane

[@yt_hatescrime_data4301]

Yes it is. 👍

[@tywonellington]

Nowhere near as insane as a 50 inch vertical lol. Not surprising he’s strong.

[@nickpage4691]

this was dope. we better see a 55" vert coming soon

[@daniluzbek6396]

This would be possible if he were 10 cm shorter, but for his height the maximum would be +5-7 cm, and then in a few years

Bro if I see someone doing calf raises with 4 wheels, I'm leaving the gym lmfaoooo. Your stupid strong my dawg! Bout to incorporate these lifts into my leg session and see some gains hopefully. Thank you Isaiah! Keep the vids coming!

[@mhollis1231]

The quote makes a lot of sense when you look at kneesovertoesguy’s method of putting pressure on the knee to approach fixing the knee, well said

[@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.

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

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.

[@hameddrums1543]

You're a gem man, thank you 💪🏼👊🏼

[@athletic_doc]

Love to see the training videos again!!

[@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 !

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.

[@TwoBros_cz]

Super video bro💪

[@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 👍

[@hooper365]

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 👍

[@jonathanferrari425]

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. Im not that good at explaining this, but you can watch "Flow high performance" youtube channel on how to do a strength program session and much others

[@hooper365]

@@jonathanferrari425 I would sometimes do 420+lbs on my squat and deadlifts then work my way down to still stimulate my body and mind with lower fatigue I mainly did strength training to be able to grab rim 10 feet at 5'7

Had a 38 inch vertical when I was young. All i did was run and play basketball. I can't imagine how high I would have jumped If I had know to train this way. Wow. Really cool.

[@sulkoma]

need a better split with the power snatches in the warmup and less squishy shoes

[@kuenst]

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...

[@charlesborel8493]

High bar half squats feel awkward for me cause I’m so use to going ATG, I prefer to go low bar on half squats. Interested to see how much you could lift low bar, considering it’s usually much stronger of a position

What is ur optimal weight range for jumping I know ur like 178-181 I think at 6’ 2”. Is this range the most optimal like if u gained 5 muscles of muscle would that make you loses inches on vertical

[@UnprofessionalAthlete]

Never thought of doing heavy calve raises. I always do sets of 10-20 but I might mix in some heavy ones too. Maybe like 6-10.

I'm usually more hypertrophy focused with them tho.

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.

[@CaioSantos-tz6kv]

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
