Love this dude! That's where I'm at right now training wise that Im done with college ball. I had a huge sports background and am pretty elastic, but my absolute strength is super average. Never made much gains bc I had so much fatigue from bball day to day 9 months out of the year. I was like 6'6 200lbs with a 285lb squat (and could eastbay with a 36.5in vert) and now my squat is at 315 with a 38in vert and both are slowly climbing. Absolute strength is huge.

[@peytonbair]

For sure! keep up the good work. Consistently train like that and you will do things you never thought possible.

[@gazda9830]

Good vid bro! keep it coming

[@higster45]

This is Awesome!! Thank you Peyton for this great advice and instruction. I have turned my athletes on to your page. I'm the weight coach out here in Arco, Idaho. Great to have some amazing examples locally with you and your brother showing what hard work and consistency can do for our youth!! Thank you so much!!👊

[@peytonbair]

Thanks for the support! glad I can help

[@Aycefr]

This vid just came across my feed. Gave me a motivation boost 🔥

[@peytonbair]

I’m glad to hear that. Good luck brother!

[@Savageinasuit]

Thank you for this video. Love the transparency dude. If you could go in depth on the program you used that’d be awesome. Thanks again for the video.

[@peytonbair]

For sure! I will work on making a video with some of the workouts and exercises that I do!

[@ethan-sq6zv]

Awesome video bro

[@flyingdutchmen1163]

hey Man, you got a new subscriber! anyway so your strength program is basically the conjugate westside ? so you have your heavy and light day for each upper and lower body day so that equal 4 days a week? is that where you gain biggest bro?

[@peytonbair]

Thats what I did for about a year! For me personally that’s what helped the most at that time. My training changes but the principles of increasing relative strength and continuing to jump stay the same! I appreciate it.

[@Zoqyh]

Love the video ❤. I started my dunking journey almost a month ago and bought a strength program. Im very confused on should i do plyometrics also? Or superset my workouts with plyo or no plyo at all. I would be super happy if you could reply thanks anyways

[@peytonbair]

The most important thing is jumping! The weight training is complementary to jumping and sprinting. If you can increase your absolute strength while continuing to practice dunking you will likely see great results.

[@kinghooper6362]

Fantastic video, would you mind posting the training program you did to increase your vertical jump so much.

[@peytonbair]

Coming soon!

[@Purav_]

Hey bro what great video huge inspiration whag did you do for your knees ?

[@peytonbair]

For knee pain?

[@Purav_]

@@peytonbair yeah as in that since I’ve been jumping and been getting lil knee pain how did you overcome that?

[@peytonbair]

@@Purav_ well rest is the best medicine. The knees over toes guy has some practical advice as to strengthening the lower legs to prevent pain and injury. THP strength as well talks a lot about isometrics to build ligament and tendon health. If you have lots of pain now I would suggest getting some recovery and then working on gradually increasing strength in the knees alongside a steady increase in jump/sprint volume until there is no pain. A good diet and healthy sleep pattern will do wonders as well!

[@Purav_]

@@peytonbair your the goat thank you so much for taking your time to reply and giving detail explanation I’ve been doing THP for 3 months and it’s been amazing I think I just should’ve started getting normal strength before doing all difficult things because I’m weak as lmao but thank you Peyton have a good rest of your day

[@jencendevries3628]

I did contrast training today, squats with box jumps and Pogo's in between sets, you think this is better than separate days for each type of workout? Are you tryna blow up this KZbin channel or just tryna have fun with it?

[@peytonbair]

That sounds really good! if your goal is to dunk the best thing you can do is practice dunking.

[@jencendevries3628]

@@peytonbair I can dunk, but I want to put people on posters so I'm just trying to improve my vert further

[@melissawarren8588]

You should make another dunk video with Gatlin

[@dave.thedev]

Also note that some of this is due to genetic changes as the body grows and develops from your freshman year to adulthood. But you took the right approaches and got the results because of your work as well. If you haven't already look into PJF Performance, THP Strength, etc supports a lot of what you talked about here. Also fun to see that LDS Church gym! :D

[@peytonbair]

100% my body definitely developed a lot over the pet couple years. I looked in to PJF performance and it was some great stuff! I appreciate it!

[@Quanzino1]

Good progress bro

Dang almost as good as your little brother

one day 😮‍💨

[@vernonfrance2974]

@@peytonbair I am pretty sure you gave Gatlin a head start in his development due to your activities and your sharing of knowledge. The same is probably true of Jakob Ingebrigsten's progress as his father and two older brothers helped him become a world record holder. Are there more brothers and sisters in the family who are in to athletics? I worked at Kimberly Middle and High School one year as a bilingual resource specialist and I lived in Burley for a few months in 2020. I don't know about Burley but Kimberly residents seem to have a great fondness for athletic activities and sports.

[@peytonbair]

We love to train together. Yes, I have another brother Jaxon and two little sisters.
