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

Bro looks so springy and jacked

[@rioeq.6317]

You should show the preventive warm-up so that the followers do not get bored.

[@jAkZ04]

Have you ever thought about training with a weight vest specifically for plyos? Or low rimming with one? I could see the potential especially in a session if you warm up with a vest than do your actual jumps without, but it probably with present a higher injury risk.

6:20 : shows you how good the Maasai are at jumping. They might have the highest vertical in the world if they use their arms and momentum.

Isaiah my gym doesn't have Hex. Can I use dumbbells instead of the Hex?

[@katarsclear6682]

I don't see why not

[@kendrickcaldwell12]

Yea

[@futurehofer1564]

if you are a beginner you have to use dumbbells to start, these are a lot harder than it looks. He makes it look easy.

[@toums3]

What's that device ?

[@American77-p8b]

My boiiiiiiiii

[@Jasonsprague1981]

Would you guys take on a 43 year old who hasn’t dunked in a year and a half?

[@gregorkorosec6131]

Of course if you give them the moneyz

Le salió lo de Bori.

[@godspeed2492]

Should I replace this with my normal plyo workout (Box jumps, squat jumps, weighted approach jump, etc)? I am 6'5 190 and can touch backboard with my head.

[@musclelessfitness2045]

Nice shoes John heheh

[@erikasb2]

What equipmemt do you use here?

[@coltonwilliams8473]

I was looking at programming these for myself in an upcoming phase, I then log on and see you destroying my concept of reality jumping around with 315🤯How do you determine appropriate load for this? I’m assuming 3-5x3, say I test 1RM at 405 on a trap bar deadlift for example. 🤔

[@BallboiBezzy]

What is the most inches you ever seen somebody gain in a short time period time on there vertical

[@rhypzter]

How can I know my 1rm for loaded jumps (hex/dumbbell)? The heaviest that still lets me get off the ground (even by 1in)?

[@דניאלחמד]

It have reason why isiash stop train in wigeth liftinig shoes?

[@a-1134]

Do u mix these with O lifts in the same block

[@A-A-RonDavis2470]

This feels uncanny, the same exact people are in the background for this video, and they're doing the same exercises. What is going on? lol

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

I have some info you and John may find usefull. It's about fatigue. Strength /neural drive will fatigue in stages/levels. 1st fatigue is fast concentric, followed by slow concentric to Isometric and finally eccentric. That means it's not uncommon to lack/fail at concentric power but still be able to lift heavy and slow or lower super heavy. Basically central fatigue happens from rigth to left in the force-velocity curve.

[@Shikamoru]

Anyone know how much he weighs?

[@b-sauce2917]

Around 180ish i think

[@Shikamoru]

@b-sauce2917 that's insane if true. Dude is a beast

@b-sauce2917 true. Dude just started popping up on my KZbin so I'm catching up on who he is

[@Ncaagambler1124]

Have either of u guys ever worked with a client that was low body fat extremely strong in the weight room with good form that runs extremely fast with plus agility and great lateral movement but a below average two foot jump was in college with a very explosive 385 squat 470 high handle trap 20+ neutral grip pull-ups could easily push over a grand and consistently walked backwards with 400+ pounds almost daily but i can’t jump high at all off two standing or running when I actually train I can grab the rim within a month of jumping but stopped because I feel being a one foot jumper can make u slower I’ve never been measured on the trap jumps but feel I was generating similar power to Isiah I mean this question could be simple I was obsessed with sprinting like rivera is with jumping so maybe I simply didn’t jump enough but I feel like I should have been able to throw it down pretty easily with how hard I could run the fast break I’m not training hard at the moment I just fealt like when I was I should have been dunking easily

[@adamwasnthere]

jump more bro if u aint capping u should be able to dunk unless ur 4 foot

[@Ncaagambler1124]

@ 5 11 after seeing some Asian kid jump 48 inches who isn’t an elite sprinter I’ve come to the conclusion that god gave me the extra speed in my basket in exchange for the vert

[@Ncaagambler1124]

@ it’s a true mystery anyone who saw me run the floor asked if I could dunk it could be that i have super long legs for my height with super long quads and low knees so my vertical force power translates to sprinting speed better than a jump I did the ben Patrick program until I noticed the atg split squat was making me slower at a certain point great program tho I had great ground contact time as well from depth and drop jumps I have no doubt if I practiced one foot jumping all the time I could easily get to a nick briz level on one foot within a couple years I just don’t see the point as a non basketball player seems like a great way to guarantee an uneccasary injury it could be the way my knees are angled for running speed rather than vertical these stats are when when I was 22 at a college of idiots who prefer skinny weak kids and fat kids on steroids lining up on the outside instead of 183 pounds of pure speed power and entertainment and I could have sworn the ncaa was a business but I’m 23 now numbers definitely down coming off a hip problem so I just wanted to know if they have had any unique scenarios working with a high level athlete who needed some particular exercise to break through
